I believe all of the above!
Let's start with the fact the the phloem of a plant is a special tissue that mainly transports food sources for the plant. one of the products it transports is various sugars - more commonly known as sap. the higher the concentration of sugars, the lower the concentration of water. in that case, the plant slows down on sugar making as it has a surplus, and once the sugars dilute within the sap and water's been taken in, the plant goes back to sugar making.
Answer:
1. A hypotonic solution has less solute and more water potential.
2. If two solutions are of the same concentration they have the same water potential and are considered isotonic.
3. A hypertonic solution has lower water potential and more solute.
Muscles and tissue will not be able to grow properly.
Answer:
The mutation will become more common in offspring and increase the genetic variability in the gene pool.
Explanation:
If the mutation is beneficial to the organism and this organism breeds its offspring may carry this gene, if it´s really beneficial and for example makes an organism to have more access to females the mutation may spread faster.
The only way for a mutation to spread to other organisms is reproduction (eukaryotes)
A mutation may also spread to other organisms in prokaryotes in which bacteria may take plasmids (DNA fragments) from the environment.
