If you were to place fertilized sea urchin eggs in a hypotonic tank, what would happen to them and why?​

Biology

koban [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The eggs will burst because water from the tank will flow into them

Explanation:

A hypotonic solution is a solution that contains less concentration of solutes in comparison with its external solution. OSMOSIS is the process by which water moves from a region of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to a region of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration) via a semi-permeable membrane.

According to this question, fertilized eggs of a sea urchin are placed in a hypotonic tank solution i.e. The eggs are hypertonic to the solution in the tank. Based on the osmotic principle, water will move from the tank solution (less solute/more water) into the egg (more solute/less water) via the membrane of the egg. This will eventually lead to the eggs BURSTING.

Describe the three steps of the lock and key model of enzyme function.
shusha [124]
The specific action of an enzyme with a single substrate can be explained using a Lock and Key analogy first postulated in 1894 by Emil Fischer. In this analogy, the lock is the enzyme and the key is the substrate. Only the correctly sized key (substrate) fits into the key hole (active site) of the lock (enzyme).

During meiosis what allows genes located on the same chromosomes to separate independently of one another
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Crossing over at prophase I results in the linked genes (those on the same chromosome) becoming unlinked and separated. Prophase I is this first stage of meiosis, the chromosomes condense, form tetrads<span>, and exchange DNA. The nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear.</span>
