a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
Answer:
Mistletoe is a parasite – it steals water and nutrients from trees. Technically, it is a “hemiparasite”, which means that it can generate some of its own resources through photosynthesis – it just needs that energetic kick from the sun to fuel the biological siege and subsequent invasion of the tree
Explanation:
Answer:
<u>Red blood cell in humans -</u> it has no nucleus. Hence it offers the cell to carry more haemoglobin.
- they are disc shaped allowing them to pass through narrow capillaries.
<u>Root hair cells in plants-</u> they have a large cytoplasm which enables them to take water from the soil.
<u>White Blood Cells in humans -</u> they have lobed nucleus and so can change their shape to pass through narrow capillaries.
- <em><u>HOPE IT HELPS...</u></em>

Explanation:
A karyotype is defined as the size, shape, and number of chromosomes present in an organism.
An analysis is usually done on a karyotype to see if individuals have abnormal numbers or sizes of chromosomes. Such abnormalities may arise from;
Deletion: which implies that a chromosomal part is missing.
Duplication: where parts of a chromosome are repeated.
Translocation: which occurs when a chromosomal part breaks off and gets attached to another chromosome.
Nondisjunction: in which chromosomes do not separate from the parent cells.
Common chromosomal disorders arising from these abnormalities include;
Down's syndrome
Edwards syndrome
Turner's syndrome
Klinefelter syndrome
Prada-willi syndrome
Cri-du-chat syndrome
Patau's syndrome
Genetic alteration refers to altering DNA sequence. Gene alteration forms genetically modified products that modifies the gene sequence. DNA consist of two long chains of nucleotides that are twisted and joined together in hydrogen bonds. These DNA cannot be altered in nature but gene expression can be altered.
