Answer:

Option (3).

Explanation:

The molecules may transport from inside and outside of the cell from their region of low concentration to high concentration or vice-versa. Different types of transport process are diffusion, osmosis, primary active transport.

Diffusion occurs naturally in the organism and no energy is required for its transport. The molecules move to the region of lower concentration from its region of higher concentration. The molecules moves along the concentration gradient.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Which of the following represents an important outcome of looping?

frutty [35]

Answer:

a. establishment of left-right asymmetry

Explanation:

Cardiac looping is the process in which the heart transforms itself from a straight embryonic heart into a loop that is wounded helically.
The looping of the heart takes place on the 23rd day of development.
As a result of this looping, there is bending of the cranial portion of the heart to the towards the right end and the caudal portion of the heart towards the left end.
At the end of this looping the atrium takes up a dorsal and cranial position and the ventricle is displaced towards left.
Thus, the outcome of looping is the establishment of left-right asymmetry.

Why do populations in the deep sea tend to have longer lifespans than those in higher layers

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The deep sea environment is more stable and is less impacted by detrimental events and phenomena such as changes in temperature changes and intense storms.

Explanation:

In 2018, researchers analyzed over 200 species inhabiting in both deep sea and near the sea surface across the world and found that <u>deep sea organisms are more likely to have longer lifespans.</u>

According to their results, the environmental conditions that characterize the deep sea is more stable, enabling deep-dwelling organisms to have longer lifespans. Moreover, deep sea organisms are more protected from events and phenomena that affect shallow-water species, such as changes in temperature and intense storms.

CREATING PUNNETT SQUARES FOR THE FISHER FAMILY There are six people in the Fisher family. Olivia and Marcus are the parents. The

trasher [3.6K]

Really, there are multiple questions all rolled into one.I will try to answer them patiently and systematically.
First summarize data.
A. Neither Olivia nor Marcus have freckles (recessive, ff)
B. Both are heterozygous for the hairline trait (dominant Ww)
C. Neither Marcus nor Olivia can roll their tongues (rr).
D. All four children have dimples (dominant Dx)
E. Both Olivia and Marcus are EE (unattached earlobe trait).
F. Marcus can not detect the bitter taste (pp for PTC gene)Olivia has been found to be able to detect the bitter taste, but she is heterozygous for the trait. (Pp for PTC gene)

A. Freckles, F (Dominant)
"Neither Olivia nor Marcus have freckles" =>
both have genotype ff.
None of the children have freckles (i.e. P(F)=0% for freckles in all children)

B. Widow's Peak, W (dominant)
"Both are heterozygous for the hairline trait"
So both have genotype Ww.
Punnett square
W w
W WW Ww
w Ww ww
Since W is a dominant trait, only ww (25%) will have straight hairline, 75% will inherit the widow's peak.
50% of the children will be homozygous (Ww).

C. Rolling tongues, R (dominant)
"Neither Marcus nor Olivia can roll their tongues"
means that both are homozygous recessive, with genotype rr.As in freckles, all children will have genotype rr, so none of them will roll their tongues.
None will be heterozygous. The whole family's genotype is rr.

D. Dimples, D (dominant)
"D. All four children have dimples"
implies that all children have genotype DD or Dd.
It is likely that at least one parent has genotype DD in order to have 100% of children have DD or Dd.Here are some possibilities

Case 1: DD + DD (both homoozygous dominant)
D   D
D DD DD
D DD DD
Phenotype: 100% have dimples

Case 2: DD + Dd (one homoozygous dominant, and other heterozygous)
   D d
D DD Dd
D DD Dd
Phenotype: 100% have dimples

Case 3: DD + dd (one homoozygous dominant, and other homozygous recessive)
D D
D DD DD
d Dd Dd
Phenotype: 100% have dimples

Case 4: Dd + Dd (both heterozygous)
    D d
D DD Dd
d Dd dd
Phenotype: 75% have dimples, 25 do not.Note: all 4 children could have dimples, with probability 31.6%

Case 5: Dd + dd (Heterozygous + homozygous recessive)
   D d
d Dd dd
d Dd dd
Phenotype: 50% have dimples, 50 do not.Note: All four children could have dimples, with probability 6.25%.

Case 6: dd + dd (Both homozygous recessive)
D d
d dd dd
d dd dd
Phenotype: all children have no dimples.
Conclusion:Likely genotypes of parents: DD+DD, DD+Dd, DD+dd
Possible genotypes of parents: Dd+Dd, Dd+dd
Impossible genotype of parents: dd+dd
Therefore we know with certainty that at least one of the parents has dimples.

E. Unattached Earlobe trait, E (dominant)
"Both Olivia and Marcus are EE"
(i.e. unattached earlobe trait).
This means that the whole family will have genotype EE, i.e. all are homozygous dominant, and have unattached earlobes.

F. Bitter taste, P (incomplete dominance)
"Marcus can not detect the bitter taste (pp for PTC gene)
Olivia has been found to be able to detect the bitter taste, but she is heterozygous for the trait. (Pp)"
   P   p
p Pp pp
p Pp pp
Probability for each single child being able to taste the ptc paper is 1/2.
Probability for all children being able to taste the ptc paper is (1/2)^4=1/16.
If Violet cannot taste the ptc paper, her genotype is pp.
We do not know for sure how many of the children can taste the ptc paper.
The most like situation is only half of them can taste, so do the parents. Therefore, half of the family can taste the ptc paper.

Finally, as to "please answer it correctly", I believe I did. :)
