I believe this question is trying to get you to realize the difference between acquired traits(one you get through doing something during life) and heritable traits(ones from Mom/Dad). For example, I really wish I was 6 foot 4... but the height trait comes genetically from your parents since it is coded in my DNA how tall I will be, therefore this trait must be passed down genetically and somewhere down the evolutionary tree the humans in the region which my family comes from was better off being short. An example that comes from acquired traits could be muscularity... my parents are both not very muscular but throughout my lifetime I enjoy working out and have become much more muscular, no matter how much your parents or grandparents lift weights YOU won't change so that change must be acquired through aging during your lifetime. Now the amount of muscle your body can put on is a heritable thing but that is beside the point. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it contracts as water is drawn out of the cell and into the surrounding solution. If the same blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the blood cell grows in size. Blood cells in isotonic solutions do not shrink or swell.
The reason that blood cells change in size when placed in a solution with different salt concentration is due to the osmosis process. Osmosis causes solutions with high concentrations of salt to draw water from areas with low concentrations of salt.
There are some exceptions to this phenomenon. Blood cells can draw water and explode when placed in hypertonic solution on some special occasions. Some diseases affect the structural integrity of blood cells. Also, when human blood cells are exposed to temperatures close to freezing, they can draw water and explode.
Osmosis is an important phenomenon for living systems. The amount of salt in a given solution exhibits a tendency to diffuse through the environment, eventually resulting in equilibrium. In addition to blood cells, the kidneys function through the use of osmotic principles. The kidneys filter an animal's blood to remove excess salt and balance the amount of water
Answer:
Reproductive System
All the body systems have one role or the other to play in digestion and absorption. Even the excretory system removes waste and toxins from the body, leaving the useful materials.
However, the reproductive system is not actively involved in digestion.
Answer:
The correct answer would be option D) no gametes.
Explanation:
The ABC model of the flower was formulated to describe the collection of genetic procedures that determines floral organs in several plants. These species consist of four whorls which are sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. These whorls are expressed by the expression of a number of genes present in each whorl or verticli.
Gene A is solely responsible for the sepals while the co-expression of A and B genes are responsible for the petals. The identity of the stamens is expressed by B and C and the carpels require C and D genes to be active.
The homozygousity for a normal mutation in gene C will lead to inactive or lack stamens and carpels, which are male and female reproductive organs. These are an important structure for forming gametes.
Thus, the correct answer would be option D) no gametes.
Blue would be the hottest. And red would be considered the coolest.
