Answer:
C shrink
Explanation:
a hypertonic solution has more solutes than the intracellular environment, so water will leave the cell to try to achieve equilibrium. If enough water is lost, the cell will take on a wrinkled or shriveled appearance. In red blood cells this is called crenation and the surface of the cells take on a scalloped appearance. A high amount of water loss can be damaging or even fatal for a cell.
Answer:
b progesterone
Explanation:
The plug is formed as soon as there is implantation of fertilized eggs. The thickness of the cervical mucus becomes different as hormone levels changes in pregnancy.
The progesterone, encourages the production of thick fluid/ mucus which brings about the formation of a plug. This prevents bacteria from getting into the uterine cavity.
Answer: A. True.
Explanation: A substance or material is hazardous if can be dangerous to a susceptible agent. This susceptible agent can be a human being, an animal, a plant, a fungi or any other living form, or an environment agents like water, soils, air etc. that can be contaminated with it and later could be dangerous for a living forms.
Answer:
The hershey chase experiment on bacteriophages showed the genetic information is carried in <u>DNA.</u>
Explanation:
In 1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase provided evidence that DNA is the genetic material. These scientists carried out an experimental work with the T2 virus, a bacteriophage that infects the Escherichia coli bacteria, which reproduces by attaching itself to the outer wall of the bacteria, injecting its DNA into it where it replicates and directs, the synthesis of phage proteins. Phage DNA is encapsulated within proteins and produces phages, which lyse or break the cell and releasing phage from the progeny. They used radioactive forms (isotopes) of phosphorus and sulfur. A radioactive isotope can be used as a marker to identify the location of a specific molecule, because any molecule that contains the isotope is radioactive and therefore easy to detect. The DNA contains phosphorus, but doesn't contain sulfur, therefore phosphorus-32 was used to mark the DNA, instead the protein has sulfur, but not phosphorus, so sulfur-35 was used. Hershey and Chase found that sulfur-35 is outside the cell while phosphorus-32 was inside, indicating that DNA was the physical support of the inheritance. This work allowed the scientists to conclude that it's the DNA and not the protein that enters the bacteria during phage reproduction and that only the DNA is transmitted to the phage of the progeny.
