Answer: Cytoskeleton and cytoplasm

The cytoskeleton is a network of microfilaments that provide structure and support for the cell. You can think of them as the pillars/columns that hold up a house.

The cytoplasm is the aqueous fluid that fills the inside of the cell. This fluid is very important for giving a cell is shape/support. If the cytoplasm was drained out of a cell its shape would collapse like a water balloon losing its water.

Of the 200 to 400 million sperm cells released in a typical ejaculation, approximately how many do you think will reach the ovum

Travka [436]

Only 200 out of 2 000, 000 sperm cells reach the ovum. And only one (in exception to very rare cases of two) sperm cells actually participate in the process of fertilization. In comparison, an average female only produces 400 of egg cells during their lifetime, but the eggs cells are significantly larger than sperm cells.

What is meant by the following statement? The cell membrane is semipermeable. A. The membrane allows all polar molecules into th

Gennadij [26K]

I believe the correct answer would be B. Semipermeable means that it allows certain substances to pass through, and certain other ones to not pass through. So given all of your options, I would say that B makes the most sense. Hope this helped!

Someone please calculate the ratio of offspring please help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Over [174]

Answer:

2. 1 Pink : 1 white

3. 1 Red : 1 Pink

4. 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. The alleles of the gene exhibits incomplete dominance i.e. the red allele (R) ia not completely dominant over the white allele (W), hence an intermediate pink phenotype (RW) is formed. Based on this, a red snapdragon will have genotype, CRCR while a white one will have genotype, CWCW. The intermediate pink phenotype will have a genotype, CRCW.

The image attached to this question shows four crosses between different traits.

In the second cross between a pink (CRCW) and white offspring (CWCW), 2pink and 2white offsprings will be possibly produced in the ratio 1:1.

In the third cross between a red (CRCR) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, 2 red and 2 Pink offsprings will possibly be produced in a ratio 1:1.

In the fourth cross between a pink (CRCW) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, red, pink and white offsprings will be produced in the ratio 1:2:1.

See attached image for the complete punnet square. Note that, there was a mistake in the Genotype of the last cross i.e. pink has genotype CRCW not CWCW.
