A selectively permeable membrane separates two solutions. Water is able to pass through this membrane; however, sucrose (a disac

charide) and glucose (a monosaccharide) cannot pass. The membrane separates a 0.2-molar sucrose solution from a 0.2-molar glucose solution. With time, how will the solutions change?a. Nothing happens because the two solutions are isotonic to one another.
b. Water enters the sucrose solution because the sucrose molecule is a disaccharide and thus larger than the monosaccharide glucose.
c. Water leaves the sucrose solution because the sucrose molecule is a disaccharide and thus larger than the monosaccharide glucose.
d. The sucrose solution is hypertonic and will gain water because the total mass of sucrose is greater than that of glucose.
e. After the sucrose dissociates to two monosaccharides, water will be osmostically drawn to that side of the membrane.

Answer:

a. Nothing happens because the two solutions are isotonic to one another.

Explanation:

Two solutions of the same molarity are separated from each other by a membrane that allows water molecules but not the glucose or sucrose to move across it. Movement of water across the selectively permeable membrane occurs only when two solutions have different concentrations of solutes. In that case, water moves from a hypotonic solution towards a hypertonic solution. Since both sucrose and glucose solutions have the same tonicity, there would not be any change in the solution.

In which direction does the replication fork move as dna replication occurs?
attashe74 [19]
DNA replication occurs in the 5 prime (5') to 3 prime (3') direction.
I'm sure you've heard this many times. I tutor in genetics, and all of my students can rattle that off. Less understand what it means.

First, understanding what 5' and 3' mean is important. DNA is composed of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a base (A,T,G,C). The sugar has a phosphate group attached to its fifth carbon, and a hydroxyl group on its 3rd carbon. Nucleotides (separate components of DNA) are linked by the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group. So, every nucleotide is linked at the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group besides two - the two nucleotides at either end of the strand of DNA. The one that leaves a phosphate group exposed is called the 5' end of DNA, and the one that leaves a hydroxyl group exposed is called the 3' end of DNA.

<span>A problem with many students just memorizing that replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction is that there are two strands of DNA involved in replication. DNA polymerase (the major enzyme responsible for replication) reads the already existing strand of DNA in the 3' to 5' direction, and creates the new strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction (meaning that it adds nucleotides to the 3' end of the new strand).</span>

When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, the F1 plants inherited.a. one allele from each parentb. two alleles
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a. one allele from each parent

Explanation:

According to Mendel, gametes are always pure and contain one allele for each gene. Let's assume that the genotype of the tall plant is "TT" and the genotype of the short plant is "tt". The tall plant would produce all the gametes with one copy of the "T" allele while all the gametes from the short plant would carry only the "t" allele.

The random fusion of gametes from tall and short parent plant produces all the F1 progeny with genotype "Tt". Here, each F1 plant obtained one "T" allele from the tall parent plant and one "t" allele from the short parent plant.
