If the environment outside a cell is hypertonic, how will the cell maintain homeostasis?

Answer:  Water will move outside of the cell.

Homeostasis is the ability of the cell to maintain the state of balance despite of changing external environmental conditions. Osmotic pressure is the hydrostatic pressure of water across the cell membrane. Tonicity is the measurement of this pressure. If the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane is equal then water will not move across the membrane. Osmotic pressure maintains the homeostasis of the cell. In hypertonicity osmotic pressure of the solution outside the cell is higher than the inside the cell. The water inside the cell will exit the cells in order to equalize the osmotic pressure on both sides, causing the cells to shrink.

Answer:

A) The two genes are unlinked and are assorting independently, leading to a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes in the offspring.

Explanation:

The χ2 value means nothing on its own--it is used to find the probability that, assuming the hypothesis is true, the observed data set could have resulted from random fluctuations. A low probability suggests the observed data is not consistent with the hypothesis, and thus the hypothesis should be rejected. The hypothesis that you are testing are two genes are unlinked and are assorting independently, leading to a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes in the offspring.

Why are interactions between biotic factors necessary ?
Inga [223]
Because they play important roles in the environment, take the food chain for example. animals continuously convert energy all the way up until a human eats. also, decomposers are important too because the return nutrients to the ground, like mushroom, fungi, and bacteria

Why is chlorophyll not able to capture the energy in green light​
mariarad [96]

All plants have chlorophyll-a which blocks(reflects) green light and absorbs red and blue wavelengths. It seems like it would be more efficient for plants to absorb green light since energy is most powerful from the sun through green wavelengths. However, the chlorophyll-a in chloroplasts actually defend the plant from harmful damage of the TREMENDOUS amount of power from the sun transmitted in green wavelengths.

SO CHLOROPHYLL-A PROTECTS PLANTS FROM TOO MUCH ENERGY IN GREEN LIGHT.
