Which type of protein would more likely be able to function as a channel through the plasma membrane

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Aquaporins

Explanation:

Aquaporins are the channel proteins that is present in the membrane of the cell which allow water to cross the membrane very quickly. This aquaporins play an important roles in plant cells, red blood cells, and certain parts of the kidney where this protein minimize the amount of water lost as urine. Without this protein, the diffusion of water across the cell membrane is not possible very quickly.

liberstina [14]

The hemoglobin that is about 65% saturated with o2 in a healthy resting person Systemic veins & pulmonary arteries.

<h3>Define Hemoglobin?</h3>

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that takes oxygen to body's organs and tissues and elates carbon dioxide from organs and tissues back to your lungs.

Thus, Systemic veins & pulmonary arteries are correct.

Wild diploid wheat has seven chromosomes in its pollen. Discuss the major events that had to occur for tetraploid pasta wheat to

lianna [129]

Answer:

Tetraploid wheat evolved by allopolyploidization and subsequent diploid-like behavior due to cytological diploidization

Explanation:

Durum wheat (Triticum durum) or pasta wheat, is a tetraploid wheat species that has 28 chromosomes, i.e., seven pairs in each genome (2n = 4x = 28). Durum wheat was domesticated from wild emmer wheat, which originated by hybridization of two diploid wheat species with 14 chromosomes: Triticum monococcum (genome AA) and one wild progenitor (genome BB). Triticum durum is a typical example of evolution by hybridization and polyploidization, where the resultant tetraploid species has two complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidization is one of the most common types of plant speciation. During meiosis, 28 chromosomes form 14 homologous chromosome pairs, because homologous chromosomes have developed 'restriction of pairing' (i.e., cytological diploidization). The restriction of pairing to fully homologous chromosomes ensures a correct meiotic behavior, which otherwise would be altered due to the high level of homology that still exists among chromosomes from different wheat progenitors.
