The correct answer is the entire cell will swell.

When the plant cell is kept in a hypotonic solution, it consumes water by the process of osmosis and begins to inflame, however, the cell wall inhibits it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become turgid, that is, hard and swollen. The pressure within the cell upsurges until this internal pressure is equivalent to the pressure outside.

Here, you have a case of codominance.

You know that because they tell you that in the presence of both alleles (purple and white) you have a light violet. No one is dominant over the other, both appear as a combination of alleles.

Purple: P

White W

A heterozygous plant has PW alleles.

PW x PW = PP PW WP WW

25% chances of PP (deep purple)

50% chances of PW (ligth violet)

25% chances of WW (white)

Put these time divisions in order, from longest to shortest. eon period epoch

Delvig [45]

The order from the longest to the largest will be; Eon, Era, Period, Epoch.
Eon is the longest division of geologic time. Epoch is the shortest division of geologic time, only present in Cenozoic Era. Era is the second longest division of time, marked by sweeping changes in the fossil record. Period is the time division which is longer than an epoch but shorter than an Era.

1.) what is a polar molecule? 2.) why is water a polar molecule? Explain

Y_Kistochka [10]

The water molecule, as a whole, has 10 protons and 10 electrons, so it is neutral.In a water molecule, the oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds, but the sharing is not equal.In the covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen, the oxygen atom attracts electrons a bit more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms.When a neutral molecule has a positive area at one end and a negative area at the other, it is a polar molecule.Water molecules attract one another based on the attraction between the positive end of one water molecule and the negative end of another.
