Answer:

C shrink

Explanation:

a hypertonic solution has more solutes than the intracellular environment, so water will leave the cell to try to achieve equilibrium. If enough water is lost, the cell will take on a wrinkled or shriveled appearance. In red blood cells this is called crenation and the surface of the cells take on a scalloped appearance. A high amount of water loss can be damaging or even fatal for a cell.

In a particular family, one parent has Type A blood, the other has Type B. They have four children. One has Type A, one has Type
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Parental genotypes: AO & BO

Children genotypes: AB, AO, BO, and OO

Explanation:

In the human blood group system, more than two types of alleles are present that lead to the existence of four blood groups in the human population.

Here, A and B alleles are co-dominant while the O allele is recessive to both A and B alleles in the ABO system.

The cross depicting the genotypes of children is

IA IO

IB    IAIB    IBIO

IO   IAIO   IOIO

In this cross, we get the same result as given in the question -

One parent has A and the other has B type blood while the children have all four types of blood groups One has Type A, one has Type B, one has Type AB, and the last has Type O. It is possible only when parents are heterozygous in their genotypes and not expressing codominance.

How much energy is produced by each type of macromolecule
german
<span>The amount of energy you'll get from carbohydrate, protein and fat is measured in calories per gram. Fats have the most energy and proteins have the same amount as carbohydrates, but their value as a source of energy is determined by more than the calories gained from one gram. Other factors, such as your activity level and diet, impact which macronutrient is used for energy.</span>

What must the cell do first <br> In order for a cell to divide successfully
algol [13]
The cell has to go through the interphase
Interphase is split into g1, synthesis, and g2
G1 is most of the cells life, where it replicates organelles
Synthesis is where the DNA replicates, 23 chromosomes become 46
G2 is where the cell gets ready for mitosis (active cell division) here the microtubles are produced
Mitosis is split into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis
