If a unicellular organism was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time, it would gradually swell and burst. In a hypotonic solution, the amount of solutes are lesser outside the cell compared to inside of it. Water will move into the cell making the it bigger and eventually will result to its eruption.

In anatomical, directional terminology, the esophagus is _________ to the mouth.a.Superiorb.Lateralc.Mediald.Posterior
Margaret [11]

Answer:

In anatomical directional terminology, the esophagus is <u>posterior</u> to the mouth (option d).

Explanation:

The esophagus is a tubular organ that is part of the digestive system and its function is to carry food from the mouth to the stomach. The anatomical relationship of the proximal end of the esophagus, with respect to the mouth, is posterior and inferior, its distal end also being located above the stomach.

This anatomical relationship allows the direction of food movement to be mouth → esophagus → stomach.

Two genes, A and B, are located 30 map units apart. A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits and one h
Westkost [7]

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

If two genes are 30 map units apart, 30% of the produced gametes will be recombinant.

A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits (AB/AB) and one homozygous recessive for both traits (ab/ab) is conducted.

The F1 will be heterozygous for both genes: AB/ab.

The F1 progeny is then test-crossed to a homozygous recessive individual:

<h3>AB/ab X ab/ab</h3>

<u>The possible offspring will be:</u>

  • Parental (70%): AB/ab and ab/ab
  • Recombinant (30%): Ab/ab and aB/ab

Since 30% of all the gametes produced by the F1 individual will be recombinant, 70% will be parental. As there are two types of parental gametes, each of them will have a frequency of 35%.

<u>The offspring that will have a dominant phenotype for both traits has the genotype AB/ab with a proportion of 35%.</u>
