It requires water to do so. And for the uptake of water from it's surroundings, a cell must keep it's internal fluid or the cell sap at a higher solute concentration or lower water potential. This results in "endosmosis". Once water enters the cell, the protoplast swells and the cell membrane exerts a pushing force on the cell wall which is called the turgor pressure.

So basically, it has to regulate the flow of solute particles or ions across its cell membrane and keep its cell sap at a higher solute concentration or lower water potential, compared to its surrounding medium

A woman with normal BRCA alleles has a child with a man who has one mutated BRCA1 allele. What is the probability that the child
grigory [225]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the woman has normal BRCA alleles while the man carries one copy of the mutated BRCA allele (BRCA1). A diploid organism such as human beings can have two BRCA alleles. A child gets one BRCA allele from the mother and the other from the father.

The child of the couple would get one normal allele from the woman. However, with respect to the BRCA allele, the man would form two types of gametes in equal proportion. The 50% of his gametes would have the mutated BRCA1 allele while the rest 50% would carry the normal BRCA allele. Therefore, the man can transmit either normal or mutated BRCA allele to the child. So, there are 50% chances for the child to get the mutated allele.
