Many marine invertebrates have body surfaces that are permeable to water but not to salt. osmosis can change the pressure of the

ir body fluids. fortunately, the ocean is very stable in its salt content. what would happen if a jellyfish were placed in a very low-salt environment such as an estuary?

When there will be a low salt environment, the jellyfish will increases the intake of water through its surface, because the solvent concentration will be low inside the jellyfish, as compared to the estuary. Thus, it will swell up and may die after bursting, as well. The environment is called as a hypotonic environment. The solute concentration is high inside jelly wish and lower in the estuary, thus, fluid diffusion will occur from fish to water body

A new kind of tulip is produced that develops only purple or pink flowers. Assume that flower color is controlled by a single-ge
g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c).

The frequency of C represents p while that of c represent q. Using the formula p+q= 1

The proportion of pink flower is 153/1000 = 0.153. This is also the frequency of the genotype cc (q^2).

Thud to find q which is the frequency of the c allele,

q = √0.153

q = 0.3912

From the formula p +q = 1 we can find p p = 1 - 0.3912

p which is the frequency of the C allele

p = 0.6088.

B. the proportion of all purple flowering plants that are heterozygotes and homozygotes is 847 / 1000 = 0.847

State the biological importance of dormancy in seeds​
alexandr1967 [171]

An important function of seed dormancy is delayed germination, which allows dispersal and prevents simultaneous germination of all seeds. ... Many species of plants have seeds that delay germination for many months or years, and some seeds can remain in the soil seed bank for more than 50 years before germination.

What does it mean when pathogens are referred to as contagions?
Triss [41]
A pathogen is a disease carrying vector that has the ability to spread using a variety of different mechanisms. A pathogen that is a contagion has the ability to spread through touch. An example of such a pathogen would be the one that results in staph infections.

Which of the chains of amino acids corresponds to the nucleotide sequence aauggcuac
maxonik [38]
The sequence AAU GGC UAC is composed of three codons each of which codes for a different amino acid. AAU codes for the amino acid called threonine. GGC codes for the amino acid called glycine UAC codes for the amino acid called tyrosine. So the chain will read  threonine-glycine-tyrosine. There are 64 possible 3 - letter combinations of DNA coding units A, C, G and T. Of these, there are three stop or non- sense codons that do not code for any amino acid, while the remaining 61 code for different amino acids.

2. The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the ___________ arteriole. The blood flow in the vasa recta runs
lorasvet [3.4K]
<h2>Vasa recta </h2>

Explanation:

The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop

  • The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
  • The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
  • Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
  • Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange
