Pleiotropy occurs when one gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. A single gene is responsible for pigmentation and hearing.

Answer:

When a single gene is responsible for controlling multiple traits then the gene is said to be pleiotropic.

Explanation:

  • A pleiotropic gene is a gene that controls many functions and thus, a mutation in this single gene is going to show its effect in several traits.
  • Since, the gene responsible for white fur in cats is also responsible for eye colour and hearing and thus, it controls more than one trait and hence, it is pleiotropic.

Compared to a cell with few aquaporins in its membrane, a cell containing many aquaporins will A. have a faster rate of osmosis
Aloiza [94]

The correct option is A: have a faster rate of osmosis

A cell containing many aquaporins will have a faster rate of osmosis.

Aquaporins are micro water channels within the membrane that allow for the exchange of water and other neutral molecules over the biological membranes of other organisms.

Due to the presence of Aquaporins in plants, they have a high diversity of regulation properties, localizations, and transport selectivity.

The rate of osmosis increases as the aquaporins facilitate the transfer of water at a faster rate.

Read the following excerpt taken from the US Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
Anna71 [15]

This excerpt outlines the important precedent set by the court case Plessy vs. Ferguson. Plessy vs. Ferguson establishes the idea that "separate but equal" facilities are constitutional (aka legal). Essentially, this Supreme Court ruling allows for private and public places to be segregated. The ruling of Plessy vs. Ferguson resulted in segregated facilities all over the country including schools, restauraunts, bus stops, bathrooms, water fountains, etc.

This case is not overturned until 1954, in which the case Brown vs. Board reverses this idea and declares that separate but equal facilities violates the 14th amednment rights of African-American citizens.
