<span>When red blood cells are placed in distilled water, which is hypotonic compared to the solution contained within the cells' membranes, the distilled water will diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst.</span>
2. club fungi
explanation:
Corn smut is caused by Ustilago maydis while wheat rust is caused by Puccinia triticina. Both Ustilago maydis and Puccinia triticina are classified under division Basidiomycota. Basidiomycota is also called as club fungi. These fungi form specific club-shaped fruiting bodies called basidia. Basidia are the site for the formation of basidiospores.
The principles of probability can be used for B. Predicting the traits of the offspring of genetic crosses.
Answer: B. Predict the traits of the offspring of genetic crosses.
Answer:
(A) -> (D) -> (C) -> (B)
Explanation:
First off, given that the problem requires us to explain how life on Earth may have arisen <u>from terrestrial origins</u>, we can discard sentence (E), as impacts from meteorites would count as extraterrestrial origins.
Then it's just a matter of describing the steps by which simple compounds turned into more and more complex structures, that would in turn lead to the origin of life.
Simple inorganic compounds (such as CO₂, or NH₃) were exposed to energy, because of that they formed simple organic molecules, like carbohydrates or amino acids.
These organic molecules, in turn, would self-assemble into more complex structures, such as proteins.
Lastly, there's the phenomenon of Compartmentalization, where large organic structures became enclosed within a membrane-like structure, separating them from the 'outside' medium and thus creating primitive cells.
