HACTEHA [7]2 years ago

A solution to be isotonic refers to b) The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

  • Isotonic solution is the solution that have equal concentration of solute on both sides of the solution separated by a membrane.
  • If a cell is kept in an isotonic solution that means the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as that of the outside then the movement of solvent does not occur between the cell and the external environment.
  • The osmotic pressure inside the cell and outside the cell across the semipermeable membrane of the cell becomes the same due to equal concentration of the solute on each side.

0.9% normal saline is an example of isotonic solution.

Bear pigmentation is subject to epistasis of the B alleles by the d alleles. B (black) is dominant over b (brown). D is dominant
White raven [17]

Answer:

9/16 black, 3/16 brown, 4/16 white

Explanation:

             BD         Bd          bD         bd

BD     BBDD      BBDd     BbDD     BbDd

Bd      BBDd      BBdd     BbDd      Bbdd

bD      BbDD     BbDd      bbDD     bbDd

bd       BbDd    Bbdd       bbDd     bbdd

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is made to predict the genotype as well as the phenotypes of the offsprings of a cross.

To study the epistatis nature of the pigmentation in bear, a punnet square was made and the results of the punnet square are shown above.

The results of the punnet square show that the cross between two bears will have the chances of producing 9/16 black bears, 3/16 brown bears and 4/16 white bears.

Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell?Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell?
denis23 [38]

Hello good afternoon...God bless :) here is the answer to your following question...

Explanation:

Osmosis is important to cells because it allows them to maintain water homeostasis. The most important function of osmosis is stabilising the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and intercellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This obviously is essential to the survival of a cell.

Who disproved the idea of inheritance of acquired traits using tailless mice?
Vesna [10]
<span>I think you're looking for August Weismann who disproved the idea of inheritance of acquired traits from somatic cells (body cells). By doing so, he proved that inheritance only takes place by germ cells (gametes). </span>
