During osmosis A) pure solvent diffuses through a membrane but solutes do not. B) pure solutes diffuse through a membrane but solvent does not. C) pure solvent and a solution both diffuse at the same time through a membrane. D) gases diffuse through a membrane into a solution and build up pressure.

Answer:

Explanation:A.

The net movements of solvent from the region of higher water potential (solvent) to a region of lower water potential(solute) through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. It is a peocess where the solute dissolved in the solvent and the resulting solution pass the selective permeable membrane,A selective permeable is the type which allows water,gases, and non polar molecules to pass through, but restrict polar and other large molecules through its walls.

Generally during osmosis,the water molecules and solute molecules interacts.These interaction ,due to dipole dipole effects of the water molecules, reduced the pressure of water on the solute in solution .Consequently, the water molecule of the pure water (the solvent )exerts more pressure on the weaker solution i,e higher water potential

Hence,this pressure forces water molecules across the semi permeable membrane,from higher water potential to lower water potential.It is the major biological process of plants and animals.

How do the three types of colorblindness differ in genotype and phenotype?

vfiekz [6]

Normal colour vision (trichromacy) refers to vision that uses all three types of light cones. People with defected trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and these conditions are called anomalous trichromacy. Three types anomalous trichromacy ( one type of cone perceives light slightly) :

1. Protanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to red light

2. Deuteranomaly - phenotype: reduced sensitivity to green light

3. Tritanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to blue

People can also have color blindess as the result of mutation, when loss of function of one cone occurs. This condition is called dichromacy. If there is complete color blindness or monochromacy, the person can’t distinguish any color from grey.

Color blindness is an inherited genetic disorder resulted from mutations on the X chromosome.

In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers, and the purple and white alleles are represented with P and p, resp

amm1812

Answer: 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.

Explanation:

Heterozygous means that its genotype has two distinct alleles, i.e. a dominant and a recessive one. So the genotype of the plants is Pp, and each plant has two alleles since they are diploid organisms, which have two copies of each gene.

Each plant produces gametes, which are haploids cells. That is, they only have one copy of each gene (one allele). So, the gametes produced by Pp have a P or p genotype. During fertilization, the maternal and paternal gamete are fused to form a diploid zygote where their genotype will have one allele from the father and one from the mother.

By making this monohybrid cross, we cross the gametes of each parent in the punnett square (see picture)

In the offspring, we see one PP genotype (homozygous dominant), two Pp genotypes (heterozygous) and one pp genotype (homozygous recessive). Since we know the P allele is dominant and it codes for purple color, a genotype only needs one P allele to express that phenotype. So Pp and PP organisms are purple, and only pp is white. That means 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.

Ging up each trophic level on the pyramid results in a 90% decrease in that energy transfer.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Energy sees a 90% decrease as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat during the transfer of energy.
