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.

What happens to the daughter cells produced during mitosis?
julsineya [31]
What happens to the daughter cells produced during mitosis? Well, in mitosis, the host cell makes an exact copy of itself and then splits into two daughter cells which have similar sets of chromosomes.

What is mitosis?

Mitosis is a cell reproduction process in which a parent cell replicates itself, then splits into two daughter cells. These two daughter cells that are produced often have similar, if not the same, numbers and variations of chromosomes as the parent cells. Mitosis mainly is responsible for asexual reproduction in a single-called organism. An example of a biotic factor that undergoes mitosis would be bacteria. Because bacteria is representative of a germ or something that quickly spreads, it would be great to discuss this when referring to the process of mitosis. In bacteria formation, daughter cells branch off of the parent cells and are spread through physical contact.

Your final answer: The daughter cells are created through the division of the parent cell and they have similar or identical chromosomes (because they’re apart of asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, the daughter cells look exactly like their parent).

Arrange the following steps that occur during drought tolerance in plants in a correct sequence.
jasenka [17]

Answer: I, II, III and IV.

Explanation:

Drought tolerance is the ability of the plant to survive and adapt to drought or arid conditions.

When plants encounter drought, they produce dress hormone called abssisic acid. These hormone then activate the cells receptors and the receptors cause some changes in the plants.

The receptor causes the guard cells of the stomata to close to reduce and cause cessation of plant growth to in order to reduce water consumption of plant.

Once the stomata is closed, there is decrease in transpiration which reduce water loss but still allow carbondioxide to enter.

Examples of drought tolerant plants are agaves, wallflower, lantana, lithops, portulaca e.t.c.
