The gap junctions electrically tie all the cardiac muscle cells in combination into a single contractile unit. The desmosomes inhibit the adjacent cells from segregating at the time of contraction, and the gap junctions permit ions to pass from cell to cell, conducting current through the whole heart.  

The main function of the intercalated discs is to hold the nearby cells in combination by offering the sites of strong adherence.

Answer:

Hypertonic

Explanation:

Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a cell. Seawater is hypertonic. If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).

PLZ HELP ME Question 3
Flauer [41]

Answer:

It's impossible to predict the phenotype of the offspring by only observing the parents because DNA from their grandparents can affect the offspring as well.

Explanation:

DNA is combined from the parents to create offspring. When that offspring reproduces their children not only possess DNA from their parents but from their grandparents as well. Mixing together two separate DNA's from two different family trees can result in rare genetic mutations which results in the offspring looking different from their parents but showing resemblance to their grandparents. This is why you have to look at the phenotypes of more then just the two parents because there are more possibilities, including what their grandparents looked like.
