The osmotic balance between blood and interstitial fluid is maintained by plasma proteins called albumins.
The microscopic observations of cells form the basis of the cell theory and the idea that all living things are composed of cells; cells are the structural and functional unit of living things.
Answer:
The body has levels of organization that build on each other. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems. The function of an organ system depends on the integrated activity of its organs. For instance, digestive system organs cooperate to process food.
Explanation:
Answer:
genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
- serrated leaves → dominant trait
- smooth edges → recessive trait
- purple color → dominant trait
- white color → recessive trait
- F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.
There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.
To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent
Answer: False
Explanation:
Protozoans are not the organism that fix nitrogen for the plants. The organism that fix nitrogen to convert it into a form which can be used by plants are known as diazotrophs.
These are bacteria and archae that fix nitrogen gas found in the atmosphere into more usable form such as ammonia.
These organism can grow without any external source of fixed nitrogen. Example: Rhizobia and azospirillium.
