Five dialysis bags, constructed of a type of membrane that is permeable to water and impermeable to sucrose, were filled with various concentrations of sucrose and then placed in separate beakers containing an initial concentration of 0.6 M sucrose solution. At 10-minute intervals, the bags were massed (weighed), and the percent change in mass of each bag was graphed.

Which line or lines in the graph represent(s) bags that contain a solution that is hypertonic at 50 minutes?

Following statements are regarding to Kinetochore-microtubule interaction in S. cerevisiae.

A. In the simple kinetochore of S. cerevisiae, a protein complex called CBF3 associates with specialized, centromere-specific form of histone H3, called CENP-A.

B. The Ndc80 complexes initially make lateral interactions with a spindle microtubule and subsequently interact with a Dam1 complex, which forms a ring around the end of the microtubule. This interaction results in an end-on attachment of the centromere to the

spindle microtubule.

C. Microtubules that “capture” kinetochores are selectively stabilized by a reduction in the rate of catastrophes, which increases the chance that the attachment will persist.

D. With the two kinetochores attached to opposite poles, the duplicated chromosome is now under tension, being pulled in both directions by the one sets of kinetochore microtubules.

Which of the following combinations is correct?
