What types of molecules may not need transport proteins to be able to cross cytoplasmic membranes?
frozen [14]

The correct answer is small hydrophobic molecules.

The smaller the molecule and the more hydrophobic, or nonpolar, it is, the more rapidly it will diffuse across a membrane. It is because of the composition of membrane (lipid bilayer). By contrast, membrane is highly impermeable to charged molecules (ions), no matter how small they are.

What protein is responsible for the initial step in unwinding the DNA helix during replication of the bacterial chromosome?
maw [93]

Answer:

Proteins play a fundamental role for life and are the most versatile and diverse biomolecules. They are essential for the growth of the organism and perform a huge amount of different functions.

The passage of DNA to proteins begins with the step of transforming genetic information into an intermediary between DNA and protein. This intermediary is called messenger RNA (mRNA). The difference between DNA and mRNA is that the second corresponds to a very small fraction of all DNA, consists of a single chain (it is no longer a “zipper” but a strand), and that Thymine (T) is replaced by the Uracil (U). This fraction corresponds to the stretch of DNA that contains the sequence necessary to ultimately synthesize the protein.

What could be the possible result of founder effect on genetic variation?
GaryK [48]
The possible result of the founder effect would be loss of genetic variation. The reason why this is so is because by definition, the founder effect is often considered to be the cause for a essened genetic variation in a specie or a certain area where organisms thrive.
