The experiment by Peter Agre who discovered the protein Aquaporin demonstrated the function of proteins that allow facilitated diffusion of water.

Explanation:

Aquaporins are water channel proteins that facilitated diffusion of water. Agre was able to prove its function when a frog’s oocytes showed increased water permeability when an unknown protein (membranous) from the RBCs was introduced into them. The oocytes without proteins did not facilitate water diffusion.  

Aquaporins are membranous proteins that belong to larger intrinsic proteins but act as pores on the cellular membranes to facilitate water diffusion.

Your sister is very good at playing the piano. What is her piano playing
ad-work [718]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Individuals are not born immediately able to play the piano. Therefore, piano playing is not an inherited trait. You get good because you practice.

This is in contrast to physical traits like hair color, ability to role your tongue, or genetic diseases. These are not learned at all, instead, they appear regardless of lifestyle.

However, some genes are thought to predispose you to musical talent. Two people could be born with exactly the same genes that make them good at piano. If one practiced for 8 hours every day, then they will be very good. If the other one never practiced, they wont be able to play.

In contrast, one person could have genes that make them great at piano, and one could have genes that make them terrible. Even if they practice the exact same amount, the one with the better-suited genes will likely progress more quickly!

However, the skill is still a learned trait.

Which interaction between tadpoles grown in high tadpole density ponds would most likely cause the decreased survival and growth
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Some tadpoles develop a chronic ilnness called yuraspasticitis causing decreased growth rates.

Explanation:

Yuraspasticitis is a common issue in the tadpole population of high tadpole density ponds. It is caused by a bacterial penetration of the urass gland.

Setler [38]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If both of the parents have a recessive trait that decides fur color, then there is a 25% chance that the offspring will receive the recessive traits from each parent and will not receive either of the dominant traits.

Which of the following is true about a plant with the genotype AABbcc? It is homozygous at two gene loci. (Look up "loci" if nee
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

It is homozygous at two gene loci.

Explanation:

An organism may be homozygous or heterozygous for a particular gene. The presence of two identical alleles of a gene in the genome of an organism makes it homozygous for the gene. On the other hand, the presence of two dissimilar alleles of a gene makes the organism heterozygous for the gene.

For instance, AA or aa are homozygous states since two copies of identical alleles (dominant and recessive respectively) are present. The genotype "Aa" is heterozygous since it has one dominant and one recessive allele for a particular gene.

The given genotype "AABbcc" is homozygous for "A" and "c" due to the presence of two copies of dominant and recessive alleles respectively. However, it is heterozygous for the second loci (Bb). Since the recessive allele is present in the homozygous state (cc), it will express itself.
