Answer:

Option a. Only from Sac A to the beaker is correct.

Explanation:

As beaker contains glucose which is a monosaccharide and Sac A also have glucose in it, So, therefore glucose from sac A will move into beaker through the process of OSMOSIS.

Sac A (15% glucose) is less concentrated as compared to beaker (45% glucose) therefore this phenomenon will occur. (See attached image for more detailed and graphical explanation)

Your first cousin died of tay-sachs disease (autosomal recessive, incidence 0.09%). you are not affected, nor is anyone else in
AlexFokin [52]
<span>25%

   Starting from my First cousin family, I know for sure that the Uncle is is a carrier (Aa) and he must have married a wife who is also a carrier (Aa) and that is how they got an affected son. Thus, this leads to the fact that either both of my grandparents are carriers (Aa x Aa) or only one of them is a carrier (Aa x AA). As a result, the chances that my mom (who is related to the uncle who has a defected child) is a carrier is either (2/3 or 1/2) depending if my grandparents genotype, respectively. Thus, if my mom chances of being a carrier is 1/2 then my chance of being a carrier is 1/4. (given that my dad is not a carrier b/c CF is a rare disease) However, if my mom chance of being a carrier is 2/3 then my chance of being a carrier is (2/3)x(1/2)=(1/3) As a result, I could either be 1/4 or 1/3. But since the answer only provide the choice of 1/4 and not 1/3. This leave 25% is the correct answer.</span>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The non living parts of an ecosystem that mainly affects the living organisms in it are called as an abiotic factor. These can include soil, temperature, water, oxygen and sunlight. The major energy source in earth is Oxygen which is abiotic factor.

It is very essential for the photosynthesis process to take place. Here, the plants converts water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. This becomes food for plants.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

C) parfocal.

Explanation:

A microscope can be defined as an optical device that is typically used to make an enlarged (magnified) image of a minute (small) object and as such reveals all the little information about the object that cannot be seen by the natural human eye.

A microscope is said to be parfocal if its lense is binocular and they can both be in focus.

Hence, if the objective lenses of a microscope can be changed without losing focus on the specimen, they are said to be parfocal.
