Compare hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. When an environment is hypotonic, what happens to the cell?

When an environment is hypotonic, the cell has more solute so solvent move from outside the cell to inside causing the cell to swell.

WHAT IS TONICITY?

  • Tonicity is the ability of a solution to induce water loss or water gain in a cell. A solution can either be; hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic

  • A hypertonic solution has more concentration of solute than its surroundings while a hypotonic solution has less concentration of solute compared to it's surroundings.

  • If a hypotonic solution has less solute, this means that it will have more solvent (water). Based on the principle of osmosis, water moves from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration.

Hence, water will move into a cell that is located in a hypotonic environment, causing it to swell.

Laney is asked to research an organism that performs denitrification. Which strategy is the MOST LIKELY to be successful?
arlik [135]

The correct answer is option D, that is, look for soil bacteria, which transforms nitrates into nitrogen gas.  

A microbial mediated procedure where nitrate is reduced and eventually generating molecular nitrogen via an array of intermediate gaseous nitrogen gaseous outcomes is known as denitrification.  

It is generally the withdrawal or the loss of nitrogen or nitrogen components, mainly the reduction of nitrites or nitrates by the bacteria in the soil, which usually leads to the escape of nitrogen into the atmosphere.

Two mice breed. The male is heterozygous for the dominant traits of black fur and active behavior but is homozygous recessive fo
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Four

Explanation:

Let the allele for black fur be B (the alternate will be b), the allele for active behavior be A (the alternate will be a), and the allele for light eyes be L (the alternate will be l).

<em>Heterozygous dominant for black fur = Bb</em>

<em>Heterozygous dominant for active behavior = Aa</em>

<em>Homozygous recessive for light eyes = ll</em>

Hence, the genotype for a male that is heterozygous for the dominant traits of black fur and active behavior but is homozygous recessive for light eyes will be BbAall.

Bb   Aa   ll

Possible Gametes

<em>BAl, Bal, bAl, and bal</em>

Therefore, the number of different types of gametes produced by the male mouse is four.
