Suppose a researcher successfully produced a membrane composed of saturated triglycerides rather than from phospholipids. What characteristics would you expect the saturated triglyceride membrane to have?
A. hydrophilic molecules would easily pass through the membrane.
B. hydrophobic molecules would be attracted to the membrane.
C. the membrane would be fluid at room temperature
D. the saturated triglycerides would not form a bilayer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. hydrophobic molecules would be attracted to the membrane.

D. the saturated triglycerides would not form a bilayer.

Explanation:

Triglycerides are molecules composed of a higher proportion of saturated fatty acid chains where carbons are connected by single bonds. Triglycerides are hydrophobes, i.e., they are nonpolar hydrophobic molecules. In this case, it is expected that hydrophobic molecules, including triglycerides, would be attracted through hydrophobic interactions (between water and hydrophobes). Triglycerides contribute to maintain the structure of the cell membranes by forming a lipid bilayer. Unlike phospholipids, triglycerides lack a polar group (phospholipids contain charged phosphate groups), and therefore triglycerides are unable to orient themselves in order to form a bilayer.

Albinism in humans can be caused by recessive mutations in different genes that cause a total lack of melanin pigment. A complementation test would be available when two people with albinism mate to produce offspring. If the two people carry mutations in different genes that each cause albinism, what frequency would albinism occur in their children?

Answers

Answer:

none (zero frequency)

Explanation:

The complementation test is widely used in genetics for assessing whether two mutations associated with a phenotypic trait represent two different gene variants of the same gene (i.e., two alleles of the same gene) or if they are mutations associated with two different genes. In a recessive trait, the offspring must receive one recessive allele from each parent in order to show the recessive phenotype (in this case, albinism). Moreover, in heterozygous individuals for a trait that exhibits complete dominance, recessive alleles always are masked by dominant alleles. Albinism is a multigenic (polygenic) recessive trait, thereby individuals who carry recessive mutations causing albinism on different genes will have zero probability (none) of having offspring with albinism.

Answer:

albinism frequency ---> 3/4 = 75% = 0.75 of the progeny will be albino.

Explanation:

- Which occurrence is the result of the cell cycle in unicellular organisms?
A. cell repair
B. cell growth
C. cell replacement
D. cell reproduction

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Cell reproduction is the result of the cell cycle in unicellular organisms. The correct option is D.

What is cell reproduction?

Cells split to produce multiple cells with similar, if not identical, contents. This process is known as cellular reproduction.

Nuclear division during mitosis produces two somatic cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell and have the same genetic complement.

Asexual reproduction in prokaryotes takes the form of cell division in unicellular organisms.

When an organism splits in half, it creates two totally distinct daughter cells, a process known as binary fission. The daughter cells are identical to the parent cells genetically.

Most of the time, Paramecium reproduces asexually via budding, however in poor circumstances, they produce sexually.

Unicellular organisms have a variety of asexual reproduction strategies, including multiple fission, fragmentation, and budding.

Thus, the correct option is D.

In a manufacturing assembly line, products get larger and more complete as they pass along. Briefly explain how this compares to your digestive system.

Answers

Answer:

Our digestive system does the opposite of an assembly line. Instead of getting complex and bigger, they are broken down into smaller pieces by mechanical and chemical processes in our digestive tract.

Explanation:

Food is first broken down mechanically in our mouths. Then chemicals in the stomach digest the food further. There also is mechanical digestion in this section of the digestive tract. As the food descends, more nutrients are absorbed in the intestines, in this areas the contraction of the muscles helps to move the processed food up to the end of the "assembly line" where the product is less complex than it used to be since the nutrients are now in our body.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - to produce more pollen grains.

Explanation:

The maturity of the Pinus sp. male cones takes place before the female cones which are due to ensure that there are more pollen grains available. The higher the number of pollen grains is better for surrounding the female cones when it matures.

This helps in pollination to be species-specific rather than pollinate by any other flower. This feature of early maturation result in easy pollination of the Pinus species.

Which of the following would be an example of osmosis?

A) the smell of ammonia spreading through the room
B) the shriveling of a small after salt is poured on it
C) water being poured into a glass
D) the absorption of water by a sponge

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

An example of osmosis occurs when a sugar solution and water, top, are separated by a semipermeable membrane. The solution's large sugar molecules cannot pass through the membrane into the water. Another good example of osmosis would be dipping a sponge into water, because there is a higher concentration outside, so the water goes in and makes the sponge expand

Answer:

B) the shriveling of a cell after salt is poured on it

Explanation:

During osmosis, water moves from a low concentration to a high concentration. Since the salt is outside the cell membrane, it makes the outside have a higher concentration than the inside of the cell; causing the water to move from the cell and the cell shriveling.

why is whitefish used to study mitosis

Answers

Answer:

The whitefish embryo is a good place to look at mitosis because these cells are rapidly dividing as the fish embryo is growing. ... This is why mitosis is only visible in cells that are dividing, like the whitefish embryo and the onion root tip. Mitosis can take several hours to complete.

Whitefish (typically the embryos or cells of fish species like zebrafish) is commonly used in scientific research, including the study of mitosis, for several reasons.

Zebrafish embryos are transparent, which allows researchers to observe and study cellular processes, including mitosis, under a microscope easily. This transparency enables real-time imaging of cell division without the need for invasive techniques.

Genetic manipulability: Zebrafish are amenable to genetic manipulation techniques, such as gene knockdown or overexpression, which allows researchers to study the effects of specific genes or proteins on mitosis. This genetic manipulability helps to uncover the underlying mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in mitotic processes.

High fecundity: Zebrafish are highly fertile and produce a large number of embryos, making it easier for researchers to obtain a sufficient sample size for their experiments.

Ethical considerations: The use of zebrafish embryos in research carries fewer ethical concerns compared to studies involving mammals. Their use can help reduce the need for more complex and higher-order animal models.

Overall, the unique characteristics and advantages of whitefish, specifically zebrafish, make them a suitable model organism for studying various biological processes, including mitosis.

What is meant by the term "UV"? In your answer, please explain how it
impacts humans and what it has to do with the atmosphere.

Answers

Answer:

The term UV stands for Ultraviolet.

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. This impacts humans because it can provide harmful effects. For example, UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles and leathery skin. They also cause eye problems. However, our atmosphere blocks a lot of the UV rays from the sun which is amazing because if we were every exposed to it, we would die lol

"Ultraviolet light can't be seen by the human eye but is a part of sunlight. It can be harmful to us if we are exposed to it (sunburn!) but it is mostly absorbed by the atmosphere. The presence of UV light in sunlight can be shown by using fluorescing UV-sensitive beads."

What do you think might happen if during anaphase, the
sister chromatids did not separate?

Answers

If chromosomes fail to separate properly during anaphase, nondisjunction has occurred. It results in cells with abnormal numbers of chromosomes.

Answer: A. One sisters cell would have more chromosomes than normal.

The other sisters cell would have fewer chromosomes than normal.

Explanation:

If sister chromatids do not split equally during anaphase of mitosis, one sisters cell would have more chromosomes than normal and the other sisters cell would have fewer chromosomes than normal.

Unequal splitting means that sister chromatids do not separate, resulting in both sister chromatids being pulled into the same sisters cell, leaving the other sisters cell without that chromosome altogether.
