An isotonic solution is a solution in which the amount of dissolved material is equal both inside and outside of the cell. Water still flows in both directions, but an equal amount enters and leaves the cell. Hope this helps. :)
The given is incomplete as the options are missing. The correct options for the given question are as follows-
(A) cultivation of agricultural land inhibits the decomposition of organic matter
(B) nitrogen-fixing bacteria are not as plentiful in agricultural soils because of the use of pesticides
(C) land that is available for agriculture tends to be nutrient-poor
(D) the nutrients that become the biomass of plants are not cycled back to the soil on lands where they are harvested
Answer:
Option (D)
Explanation:
In order to carry out agricultural practices, the soil must be rich in essential nutrients for the growth of crops. The soil fertility is a key role in the production of crops.
This agricultural land often requires a large amount of these nutrients and minerals because some of the nutrient minerals are converted into plant biomass which is then used up to produce energy in other sectors. So, the nutrients that were present in the soil are taken away and not transferred back into the soil. This means that the nutrient cycle gets affected. Due to this reason, there requires a constant supply of nutrients into the agricultural fields.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. There are three different states of matter- solid, liquid, and gas.
Answer:
The correct answer would be 10.
The cell cycle can be divided into four phases namely gap 1 (G₁) phase , synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G₂) phase, and mitosis (M) phase.
DNA (deoxyribonuceic acid) content is only replicated and doubled in the S phase. However, the chromosome number remains the same. It can be explained as the number of chromosomes remains the same (2n) but number of chromatids doubles (4n) after S phase.
The number of chromatids restores to 2n in daughter cells after completion of mitosis.
Hence, if number of chromatids in metaphase was 20 i.e. 4n then the number of chromosomes (2n) would be 10.
Hence, 10 chromosomes or 5 pairs of chromosome would be present in the cell during its G₁ phase.
Answer:
Jane: Aa
Matthew: aa
Explanation:
Jane is a heterozygous woman, which means that she is dominant for this genetic trait while Matthew is homozygous that did not inherit the achondroplastic dwarfism trait from his parents, that is why he is alive.
If we draw a Punnett square, we can see that some of their children will inherit the trait while others will not.
