Answer:

none of the above

Explanation:

The dihybrid organism is an organism that has dominant and recessive alleles for a single trait (Aa), whereas recessive homozygous organisms are those that only have recessive alleles for a trait (aa). If these two organisms participated in a cross between them, the offspring would probably have the alleles Aa, Aa, aa, aa. With this we can not say that any trait of this crossing would have complete dominance, because there is a probability that it will not happen, since 50% of the offspring may have recessive homozygous alleles.

Nor can we claim that an epistatic gene will occur, since epistasis occurs when one gene inhibits the action of another, which may or may not be on the same chromosome. Therefore, it occurs when one gene masks the action of another.

Similarly we cannot affirm the presence of a pleiotropic gene, because pleiotropy is a genetic phenomenon in which a single gene has control over the manifestations of various characteristics.

She should make observations next.
If she doesnt make observations, it would be difficult to form a hypothesis and design an experiment, the result will more likely to be inaccurate too.

Your lab group is experimenting with the diffusion of molecules across a membrane. Dialysis tubing is used as a model cell membr

Margaret [11]

Answer: the membrane channel

Explanation:

In passive diffusion, the small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer seen in blue. This layer acts as a semi-permeable or selectively permeable membrane; its hydrophilic heads are attracted to water (seen facing outwards) while its water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Thus the water will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, until the system reaches a steady state called equilibrium- after this, there will be no net movement of water. Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

The dialysis tubing mimics a semi permeable membrane; it only allows water and small molecules of iodine to cross into the bag containing starch. The tubing is impermeable to starch; these large molecules require the aid of protein omplexes called membrane channels, in order to move across the membrane and against the concentration gradient.
