Which pair of terms concerning the osmotic effect of a solution on red blood cells is mismatched?

1 answer:

4 0

Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand.

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of solutes in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a hypertonic solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an isotonic solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a hypotonic solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.

Protein synthesis can be compared to building a doghouse. Sondra wanted to build a doghouse and found a book in the reference se

Nimfa-mama [501]

The correct answer is mRNA.

mRNA or messenger RNA is synthesized during the process of transcription, from DNA molecule which is used as a template. mRNA contains information about protein synthesis (translation) in the form of nucleotide triplets or codons.

In the example above: reference book is DNA molecule (template for copies), copies are mRNA, wood is amino acids (building blocks) and doghouse is protein.

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukar yotic cell cycle?

Ann [662]

its either The division cycle of most eukaryotic cells is divided into four discrete phases: M, G1, S, and G2. M phase (mitosis) is usually followed by cytokinesis. S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs or In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G1, S, G2, and M. The S or synthesis phase is when DNA replication occurs, and the M or mitosis phase is when the cell actually divides. The other two phases — G1 and G2, the so-called gap phases — are less dramatic but equally important. hope this helped!!

Note about the question:

Probably there are options for this question, but I failed in finding them. However, in the explanation box I will explain the reason for the lack of white flowers in the F1.

Answer:

The purple phenotype is dominant over the white phenotype. The allele that expresses the purple color is dominant and, in a heterozygous state, hides the expression of the recessive allele that expresses the white color. Principle of dominance.
