Answer:

Red blood cells will shrink because it is a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The sodium chloride concentration is higher: 1.5% > 0.9%, so it is a hypertonic solution. If the cells are immersed in a hypertonic medium - which is, a medium with a sodium chloride concentration higher than the concentration inside the cells - the water cells will move out from the cell. In consequence, the cells will lose water and they will shrink.

What is the difference between DNA pol 3 core and holoenzyme?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Essentially there is not an answer. There are two different definitions.

A holoenzyme is an enzyme that needs to be together with a cofactor(s), required for activity.

In some cases, enzymes constituted by several subunits (like DNA polymerase 3) are call holoenzyme as well, because it will only perform correctly when all its subunits are present.

explain selective breeding, including why selective breeding is not a change caused by natural selection
SCORPION-xisa [38]
New varieties. Natural selection and selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. For this reason selective breeding is sometimes called artificial selection.
