A family takes its summer vacation at a beach resort. Six-year-old Timmy spends the entire morning in a swimming pool. When his

mother finally gets him out and dries him off, she remarks that his fingers and toes are "wrinkled up just like a prune." Prunes start their lives as plums. They get their characteristic wrinkles by dehydration. Sitting for hours in water is anything except dehydration. How can you solve this mystery? Use the Internet to investigate the wrinkling of a prune and the wrinkling of the skin when it is immersed in water. Be sure to relate your discussion of this topic to the process of osmosis.

Water diffuses into the skin via sweat ducts which alters the electrolyte balance. electrolytes can be salts like sodium and potassium. This alters the stability of neurons causing blood vessels to constrict therefore decreasing the amount of fluid in the fingers which would normally give the skin tension. The decrease causes wrinkles.

Mendel crossed tall pea plants with short pea plants. The offspring were all tall plants.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The short is recessive and the tall is dominant

Explanation:

The Punnett Square would look like this (T - tall, t - short):

<u>   |  T |  T  |</u>

<u> t | Tt | Tt |</u>

<u> t | Tt | Tt |</u>

<u />

All offspring carry the short gene, but the tall gene is dominant, so the plants are tall with the possibility of having short offspring of their own.

You observed many sand hill cranes on your walk. Two sand hill cranes flapped their wings and hopped up and down when you walked
Anarel [89]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) symbiosis

B) ecosystem

C) community

D) population

E) biosphere

The answer is D) Population

Explanation:

Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.

This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.

This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.
