Osmosis is 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. So when Anu's fingers were in contact with the water for a long time her finger lost the water from low concentration in the body to the high concentration in the pool due to this the shrinkage occurs. This is the scientific phenomenon which Anu came across.

There are several explanations Mendel could conclude from these results - which of the following would not be one of those conclusions - in other words, of the possible explanations, what can he rule out? Parents’ traits do not blend together in their offspring. It is not possible to predict what version of the trait will be present in the offspring. One version of the trait is lost during reproduction. Each of the different versions of that trait maintain a discrete identity in the offspring.
