Answer:
Genetic variation is always maintained.
Explanation:
One would think that the part of the population that is not favored in dry years would die and thus reduce the genetic variation but this is not likely to occur, otherwise all the population would die because some individuals would die in wet years and some in dry years. In reality they are able to survive in the transition from dry to humid years or viceversa. Actually, this variability that results from their genetic variability in their adaptability to changes in the climate is what keeps the population alive and able to thrive as time passes.
Answer:
See below for answer
Explanation:
<u>A. 200 mOsM NaCl</u>
This solution is hypotonic to the red blood cell (RBC) with penetrating solute. The RBCs will swell up and burst because the water will move into the cells.
<u>B. 400 mOsM urea</u>
This solution is hypertonic to the RBCs with non-penetrating solutes. Water will leave the cells via osmosis and the cells will shrink and appear shriveled.
<u>C. 100 mOsM urea plus 200 mOsM NaCl</u>
This time both penetrating and non-penetrating solute is present. The solution is isotonic to the RBCs and although there will be movement of water between the cells and the solution, there will be no overall change in the concentration of water for each and no change in appearance of the cells.
<u>D. 300 mOsM urea</u>
The RBCs will not lyse nor shrivel as again the solution is isotonic to the RBCs.
They answer is D my Friend
