Biology

snow_lady [41]4 years ago
4 0
First of all, most of the cell is water, and if water could just flow freely then the cells could become deformed or lose too much water or anything similar. Free passage of water could also ensure free passage of other things that might be there so the Aquaporins are needed to allow some water to pass, without any other elements. Water passes through in a single file, meaning it doesn't just pour all out.

Last year, one county reported that among 3000 Caucasian women (group 1) who had babies, 95 had multiples (twins, triplets, etc.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

According to the statistics, the chances that a Caucasian women will have multiples are 3.17%, while an African American women has chances of 3.33%. The chances of the women from this two different racial groups having multiples are very similar, almost identical, so it can not be said that the race is a detrimental factor in having multiples or not. The multiples have been noticed to be in much higher percentages, but that has been the case in only certain regions, so it is not based on race, but more of a regional gene pool that has those traits. Such example is Nigeria, where there is high percentage of multiples, but the people of the same race surrounding Nigeria have much lower percentages of multiples.
