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 an amino group made out of? What specific parts of cells can they be found in?
EastWind [94]

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both types of membranes have a specialized structure that facilitates their gatekeeping function.

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance pattern in which two alleles of a gene are not dominant over one another but rather form an intermediate phenotype, which is a blending of both parental phenotypes. It is a non-mendelian inheritance i.e. does not conform to Mendel's inheritance principles.

An example of incomplete dominance is that of the alleles of a flower color gene in four o'clock plant. The alleles for white (W) and red (R) are incompletely dominant over one another, hence, they form an intermediate PINK phenotype (RW).
