A beaker of water is separated by a selectively permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not ions. A solution of

Answer:

osmosis

Explanation:

The process that was going is <u>osmosis</u>.

<em>Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from regions of high water potential to regions of low water potentials through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>

In this case, the membrane is only permeable to water movement and not ions and water molecules move from the side with pure water (which happens to have higher water potential) to the side with 4% sodium chloride until equilibrium in water potential is established between the two sides.

In the infamous anthrax attacks of 2001, several letters were received at the offices of two U.S. senators and verious new media
Len [333]

Answer:

The dry-out material contains spores of anthrax-causing bacteria

Explanation:

<em>Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. Susceptible animals get infected by anthrax when the spore of the bacteria gets into their bodies, become activated, multiply and produce toxins.</em>

The spore serves primarily as a propagating structure and also as an agent for transmitting infections. It can be transmitted by air, water, food or any other means. Bacterial spores usually have the capability to tolerate harsh environmental conditions and only become inactivated when conditions are favourable.

The dry granular powdery material constituent of the letters received by the U.S. senators must have been spores of <em>Bacillus anthrasis</em>

Stels [109]

The sickle cell pattern based on the family history of Ashleigh isan:

  • Autosomal recessive pattern

Based on the given question, we cam see that in the medical history of Ashleigh's family, most of them have had the sickle cell disease which includes her grandmother, one of her uncle's six children has it too, but her father and grandfather did not have the disease.

With this in mind, the inheritance of the sickle cell disease in the family of Ashleigh is one which is autosomal recessive as it affects some people and doesn't affect others because of the pairing of the chromosome which <em>contains the sickle cell trait.</em>

Why does this recent discovery about the galapagos finches prove that it’s often challenging for scientists to determine when tw
34kurt

Because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have various appearances but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring making it is difficult for scientists to distinguish between two groups of individuals as separate species.

<h3>What is the island of Galápagos?</h3>

The Pacific Ocean island of Galápagos is located to the west of Ecuador. It is a volcanic island known for its diverse and endemic types of living things.

<h3>Why is it difficult to find new species in Finches?</h3>

Charles Darwin spent several years studying the many species of finches on the Galápagos island. He saw a great deal of variation in these finches, which supports the hypothesis of natural selection.

However. it is challenging for scientists to discern between two separate species because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have a variety of features that are different but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring.
