One big difference between osmosis and diffusion is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move indiffusion, but when we talk aboutosmosis, only the solvent molecules (water molecules) cross the membrane. ... When people discussosmosis in biology, it always refers to the movement of waters

Water stores heat much longer than other substances do allowing organisms to

Wittaler [7]

Because water is so good at storing heat energy, it is harder for organisms to experience a change in body temperature in harsher climates.

Grouping of objects help the shopkeeper, justify the statement.

gtnhenbr [62]

I’m not 100% sure what you are asking for but here is my explanation
The grouping of objects helps the shopkeeper because now the shopkeeper can find where everyone is faster. This will ultimately make taking inventory easier. As a result the efficiency of the shop and the shopkeeper will be faster. An efficient shop will result in better sales and overall will make the shop better.

You are an almond grower and want to determine whether almond size (measured as shelled almond weight) is a heritable trait. A s

inn [45]

Answer: 1. S = 0.77

2. R = 0.14

Explanation:

1. Selection differential is the difference between the population mean and the average of the selected parents. Its symbol is S.

S = mean of selected parents - population mean

S = 6.48 - 5.71

S = 0.77

2. Response to Selection is how much gain you make when crossing over selected parents. Its symbol is R.

R = mean of offspring of selected parents - population mean

R = 5.85 - 5.71

R = 0.14

3. Heritability is, basically, a statistical variable that shows how much the variation in a trait is due to genetic factors. Its symbol is h².

To calculate it, use Breeder's Equation:

R = h²S

$h^{2}=\frac{R}{S}$

$h^{2}=\frac{0.14}{0.77}$

h² = 0.18

4. You would expect the production to be strongly influenced by environment, because heritability lies between 0 and 1. Low heritability means there is low level of resemblance between offspring and parents. As this program heritability is low, the resemblance is small, which means the characteristics are influenced mostly by the enviroment.
