A semipermeable membrane is a membrane that allows certain substances to pass through it. The most accurate definition is the third choice, "It is a barrier with tiny openings that let some, but not all, materials pass through." hope this helps:)

Answer:

Option C, It is a barrier with tiny openings that let some, but not all, materials pass through

Explanation:

A semipermeable membrane is a biological membrane that allows some substances to pass through it. Such type of membranes are also referred as selectively permeable membrane as they do not allow all substances to pass through it non-distinctively.

For example the cell membrane , wall of arteries, wall of intestine etc.  are semipermeable membrane.

Hence, option C is correct.

You have been given a single virgin Drosophila female. You notice that the bristles on her thorax are much shorter than normal.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

We never see short bristle males, suggesting some type of lethality. I.e. any males who inherit the mutation die before birth so we don't see the phenotype. This also hints that it could be X-linked.

Females can be short bristled, but males can't, as it is likely lethal. This suggests that having one copy of the short bristle trait without the long bristle trait is lethal (as males as XY and so only have one copy of the trait). The female then must be heterozygous for the short bristle trait (which also explains how in generation F2, long bristle males can be produced, as if she was homozygous males would all be short bristled, and therefore dead, so there would be no males.

Since the first short bristle female is heterozygous, the trait for short bristles must be dominant.

However, since evidence suggests the trait is X-linked, it cannot be autosomal, as suggested in B.
