kirill115 [55]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Damian here!(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

so its basically passive

Mary marries an unaffected man, justin, whose paternal uncle has galactosemia. determine the genotypes for justin's family.
vitfil [10]
1. Galactosemia is a disease that will only be expressed when a person is<span><span><span> homozygotic recessive for that trait. It's the same as saying it </span> has</span> 2 recessive alleles.

Dominant allele-</span><span> G
recessive allele- g
</span>
Homozygotic dominant:  GG <span><span>(doesn't express the disease)
</span>Heterozygotic : Gg (doesn't express the disease)
Homozygotic recessive: gg (expresses it)</span>

2.
-Mary has this genotype: G_ . This means it can be GG or Gg
-The exercise already says that justin's mother is GG (<span>Homozygotic dominant)
</span>- If his mother is GG, one of these G's is going to be passed to Justin. So, his genotype is either GG or Gg. Since we are not sure we write as: G_.
Justin's genotype: G_

3.
-
Justin's uncle has galactosemia so his genotype is: gg

-
If the uncle was able to receive two recessive alleles it means the mother had one to pass, and so did the father. However, in the diagram, it's not pointed out that they have a disease so it only leaves one possible genotype: Gg. Justin's grandparents are both Gg.

4. The last person to analyze is Justin's father.
If we crossed the grandparents (Gg x Gg) we could obtain these genotypes: GG, Gg, gg.
Justin's father doesn't express the trait, so it's not gg. That leaves us with either GG or Gg. Since we can't know for sure, onece again we write as G_
Justin's father: G_

Correlational studies show that prolonged viewing of televised violence______increase rates of violent behavior

Which nervous system dilates the pupils and allows more light to enter the eyes?
Vladimir79 [104]
The correct answer is sympathetic nervous system.
<span>
The sympathetic nervous system is a component of the autonomic nervous system, together with the parasympathetic system. Their functions are opposite but coordinate to maintain homeostasis. The sympathetic system has a role to control the body's response during perceived threat (fight and flight reactions). According to this, it dilates the pupils, contracts the muscles, increases heart rate...</span>

In what way are cell biologists and molecular biologists similar?
Dmitry [639]

Molecular biologists are interested in things like the level of gene expression (how much protein or RNA is present at any given time), which molecules are directly touching each other inside the cell, etc. ... Cell biology techniques, on the other hand, want to know what's going on inside intact cells.
