A student experiments with two solutions containing the same solute concentrations
in a beaker that is divided by a semipermeable membrane, as shown.
In which direction will the water move so that the concentrations of the solutions
remain constant on both sides of the membrane?
A in both directions at different rates
B in both directions at the same rates
C toward the right side of the beaker
D toward the left side of the beaker
Answers
Answer:
B in both directions at the same rates
Explanation:
Solutions with the same amount of solute concentration is referred to as ISOTONIC. In an isotonic solution, there is NO net movement of water molecules because there is no osmotic gradient i.e. difference in solute concentrations.
In this case, a student experiments with two solutions containing the SAME SOLUTE CONCENTRATIONS in a beaker that is divided by a semipermeable membrane. Due to the equal amount of solute concentrations in both solutions, water moves into and out each membrane at an equal rate.
In order for the concentrations of the solutions to remain constant on both sides of the membrane, WATER MUST MOVE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME RATE.

What percent of their offspring are likely to inherit the disease? if two parents carry a recessive allele for a disease but don’t have it
Answers
Answer:
1/4
Explanation:
By saying that both parents have the recessive allele, but don't have it, it tells us that both parents are Heterozygous for this trait. They have one dominant trait and one recessive trait. This is demonstrated in the in the punnett square. We can see that 1/4 of the offspring will have two recessive alleles, 1/2 of the offspring will be Heterozygous, and 1/4 of the offspring will have both dominant alleles. In order to have the disease, the offspring needs to have both recessive alleles. That is 1/4 of the the offspring.

The grey squirrel has increased their rate of emigration to the UK
The grey squirrel has increased their rate of emigration to the UK.
What is emigration?Emigration is the act of relocating away from a resident country or place of residence (to permanently leave a country). Contrarily, immigration refers to the flow of individuals from one country into another (to permanently move to a country).
A migrant leaves their home nation and moves to their adopted one. Emigration and immigration thus both describe migration, but from the perspectives of various nations.
Demographers look at the push and pull factors that cause people to be drawn to one place and pushed away from another. Desires to escape unfavorable situations, such as scarcity of land or employment opportunities, or unfair treatment, are possible.
Therefore, The grey squirrel has increased their rate of emigration to the UK.

Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes. What are the main differences between these two processes, and what types of daughter cells produced by each? Meiosis has four cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has two cell divisions and results in two identical daughter cells. Meiosis has two cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has one cell division and results in two identical daughter cells. Mitosis occurs in gametes to increase genetic variation in daughter cells, while meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair. Mitosis produces genetic variation in daughter cells and increases the number of chromosomes, while meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair.
Answers
Answer:
Meiosis has two cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has one cell division and results in two identical daughter cells.
The main differences would be that Meiosis has 4 cell divisions and Mitosis had 2 cell divisions. Meiosis results in 4 haploid daughter cells and Mitosis results in 2 identical daughter cells.
Another big difference between the two could be that Meiosis produces genetic variation in the daughter cells and increases the number of chromosomes whilst Meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair. Each process has a different job.

Answers
Answer:
so basically carrying capacity is "the amount of organisms a specific environment can support", so if the environment is increased, most likely, more space and food will be available, which means the environment can hold more organisms, causing the carrying capacity to increase
Explanation:
what I just said lol
Answer:
Increasing the habitat size will increase the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the maximum amount of organisms a habitat and its resources can carry. So if the habitat expands and more resources become available, the population would expand. As you can see for the first 15 years, when it was the little land, there was only about () rabbits, but as the land grew throughout the years, the rabbit population grew. 15-30 years with moderate land had around () rabbits, and the ample land in years 30-45 had around () rabbits, a little over two times the amount the little land had.

Answers
Answer:
Bottle-necking effect.
Explanation:
Like in the picture below the bottlenecking effect works the same way in nature. When we shake the bottle some kinds of candies may fall out and some may not. This doesn't represent the whole bottle. Some type may not even fall out because the bottle wasn't wide enough for it to fall out. This can happen in nature too. In a forest fire where some animals survive they didn't survive because they were adapted to fire. They just weren't in the part of the forest that was on fire. So with the new allele frequency in the new population, this is a bottleneck effect.

Create an example in which a mutation entered the gene pool and due to predator pressure. Becomes predominate. For example, think about how the color of the Peppered moths during the industrial revolution changed. The moths were light in color, but due to all the pollution from industry the trees they lived on turned dark making the light moths an easy target for birds. The moths with the mutation for dark color were able to blend with the darker bark and survived. These dark colored moths passed their genes on to their offspring and over a relatively short period of time most of the moths became dark. When the pollution decreased, the lighter colored moths predominated once again.
*Write a paragraph or so it can be a little under. Ill give you brainiest.*
Answers
Answer:
The population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases.
Explanation:
During the industrial revolution, the population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases because due to industrial revolution, air pollution increases which spreads a black dust on the trees and as a result the light colour Peppered moths can easily be seen in the dark by its predator and feed on them while dark colour Peppered moths can't be seen in the dark so the predator is unable to feed and as a result the population of dark colour Peppered moths increases.

During an experiment to determine if people with more symmetrical body features have a lower incidence of disease, a researcher first measures the length of several bones in the subject's hands and arms. The device used to measure length does not display a readout of the measurement taken. Instead, a wire connects the measuring device to a computer that records the data. The computer monitor is kept out of sight of the subject and the researcher. Why is such an elaborate device used?a. So that the subject will not know if he or she is part of the control group.b. So that the experiment will be repeatable.c. So that the subject will not be injured by the experiment.d. So that the identity of the subject will remain anonymous.e. So that the measurements are not biased by the researcher.
Answers
Answer:
e
Explanation:
The main reason such an elaborate device was used would be to eliminate any element of bias by the researcher.
It is important to eliminate biases when taking measurements so as to ensure the accuracy of the data and the overall outcome of the experiment. If a simpler device had been used in which the researcher manually records the length of the bones, it is possible to knowingly or unknowingly introduce biases or random error into the experiment which will impact the integrity of the data and the outcome of the experiment.
The correct option is e.

In other cases, researchers use natural experiments in which the dependent variable (typically a measure of organism health) is measured under differing contexts that are not manipulated. Say, for example, that an accidental chemical spill contaminates five ponds. To determine the possible effects of the toxic chemical on frogs, a researcher could compare the hatching rate of frog eggs laid in those five ponds to the hatching rate of eggs laid in five uncontaminated ponds nearby. This would be an example of a natural experiment because concentrations of the toxic chemical in the ponds were not controlled by the experimenter, but rather resulted from the chemical spill.

Answers
Answer:
1. Natural
2. Natural
3. Manipulative
4. Manipulative
5. Manipulative
6. Manipulative
7. Natural
Explanation:
1. Checking the blood concentration of BPA in college students in relation to their recent consumption of canned food items is a natural experiment because BPA concentration in blood is not artificially controlled by any means.
2. Comparing the feeding behavior of fish in streams with acidic runoff to that of fish in an unaffected stream is a natural experiment due to the fact that the acidity of the stream is not artificially controlled in any way by the experimenter.
3. Checking the deformity rate in baby birds from nests in pesticide-sprayed fields and that from unsprayed fields would require some manipulations except a sprayed and unsprayed one already existed long before the experiment was given birth to. Otherwise, the sprayed field might need to be artificially created just for the purpose of the experiment.
4. A known carcinogen would need to be administered to a group of the mice. This is manipulative.
5. The tadpoles would need to be artificially exposed to the toxic metals in the laboratory. Manipulative
6. The spraying would need to be carried out artificially in order for the comparison to be made. Manipulative
7. People with diabetes cannot be artificially created. They must have existed naturally long before the experimental design. Natural
