Question asked by Filo student

Osmosis refers only to the net movement of water. In the language of osmosis, we describe the flow of water from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration. In other words, water diffuses towards solutes. The greater the concentration of solutes, the faster the rate of diffusion. Describe the relationship between a concentration gradient and the rate of osmosis. Rate of Diffusion Concentration Gradient A stronger concentration gradient is positively correlated with a faster rate of diffusion. A weaker concentration gradient is positively correlated with a slower rate of diffusion.

The relation of positive selection with function change. Introduction: Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk, who worked on a pea plant to observe the pattern of inheritance of certain characters from the parent plant to the offspring. He termed the genes as factors that were passing on from one generation to another. Based on this, he proposed three laws, which came to be known as Mendel’s law of genetics.

5. In Labrador retrievers, one gene controls the production of coat pigment, and black pigment (B) is dominant to no pigment (b). Another gene controls the dilution of the pigment in the hairs, with dense pigment (D) being dominant to dilute pigment (d). The pigment gene (B) is epistatic over the dilution gene (D) because the recessive allele of the pigment gene is a mutation that produces no pigment at all, so there is nothing for the dilution gene to affect. This gives three possible phenotypes: Genotypes: 1. BBDD, BBDd, BbDD, BbDd (black with dense pigment) 2. BBdd, Bbdd (black with dilute pigment) 3. bbDD, bbDd, bbdd (white with no pigment) Phenotype: 1. Black (black with dense pigment) 2. Silver (black with dilute pigment) 3. White (no pigment) A white male lab is crossed to a silver female lab. They have some black and some white offspring. The possible genotypes of the parents and the children are as follows: Possible genotypes of the parents: Male: bbDD, bbDd, bbdd (white with no pigment) Female: BBdd, Bbdd (black with dilute pigment) Possible genotypes of the children: 1. BbDd (black with dilute pigment) 2. bbDd (white with dilute pigment) 3. bbdd (white with no pigment)
