B

Gene flow is the transfer of genes/alleles from one population to another.

Explanation:

Gene flow adds to genetic diversity of the population into which the gene transfer occurred. In this case the pollen carries different forms of genes and alleles from the population it came from and when it cross-fertilizes with the new population, it adds to the genetic pool of the new population.

Another example of gene flow is through migration - the individuals of  from one population join another population and continue to mate randomly in the new population. The immigrants come with new alleles of genes that become amalgamated into the new population by cross-breeding.

imagine a cell-surface receptor protein is being newly synthesized. How can it get into the membrane that it will ultimately be
motikmotik

Answer:

the steps for a new receptor synthesis:

Explanation:

Do not forget the steps vary from an eukarityc cell to prokarityc one.  

IN AN EUKARYOTIC CELL:

1- Transcription: in the nucleus, mRNA is synthesized from the DNA sequence that codifies the protein. Exons are spliced if needed by spliceosomes.  

2- From nucleus into cytoplasm: mRNA goes through nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm were ribosomes, substrates for protein synthesis and other organelles are.

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)  

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- (The mRNA has a signal that is recognized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum) The peptide goes into this reticulum (RER) and then into Golgi apparatus. (more chemical modifications are made if needed). By this moment the protein has an inserted portion in a lipid membrane.

6- The protein is transported in a vessel that finally fusions with cytoplasmic membrane and the receptor is in destiny. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

IN A PROKARYTIC CELL:

1- Transcription (no splicing is needed, there are not exons)

2- There are not nucleus and cytoplasm divided (no transport)

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- The mRNA has a signal that is guides the growing protein to cellular membrane. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

How does a frog get rid of urea/urine? Question 4 options: gills lungs heart kidneys
Mrrafil [7]
A frog gets rid of it's urine through the kidneys because the heart pumps blood throughout the body, the lungs are used to take in O2 molecules and gills are use to filter out the hydrogen in HO2 so they can breathe under water. However the kidneys are part of the waste disposal system (what makes us need trip to the bathroom ever now and then) therefore that is the answer.<span />
