2.Which of the following represents a genetic cross between 2 individuals that are each heterozygous for both traits?

wariber [46]

Answer:

A. AaBb x AaBb

Explanation:

The term heterozygous refers to the presence of two different alleles of same gene in an organism. The one allele can be of wild type (original type) and one can be mutated or newly formed.

In the question, two traits are represented by two letters, A and B and alleles as A and a and B and b, respectively. We are asked about a cross involving two traits and two individuals in such a way that both are heterozygous.

If we look at option A, AaBb x AaBb,

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in heterozygous form (Aa and Bb) in both individuals.

If we look at option B. AABB x AABB

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in homozygous form form (AA and BB) in both individuals. Homozygous means when the alleles are same for each trait in an individual.

If we look at option C,Aa x Bb

There are not two traits, one trait of one individual and other trait of other individual is being crossed that is not possible.

If we look at option D. AAaa x BBbb

Again, the individuals are homozygous for two traits.

Therefore, A is best option.

Hope it helps!

A cellular structure that can be found in each type of cell that is unique to each type of cell, but that has a similar function

Answer

Complex barrier to the flow of substances out of the cells,and restrictions to inflow of unwanted substances into the cells. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature of the cell membrane controls the entry of substances from the extracellular medium into the intracellualr. In addition the polarity restricts certain substance movement across the walls.

Serve as the selective channels for the influx of certain substances into the cells, and the out flux of wastes.This is through ion channels for the movements of ions across.

Provide insulation to the cells,to maintain the constant internal temperature,this is through the presence of lipids as( Phospholipids and cholesterol).The latter prevent the clogging of the lipids in the cell membrane therefore preventing frozen up of the cell membrane,providing insulation.

Separation of metabolic process in the cell.

Explanation:

Cell membrane-This is present in all cells.But the variation of its constituents makes it unique to each cell. Although it performs the same role, the location and role the cells it bounded, reflects its constituents, it is made up of lipids, carbohydrate, protein and cholesterol
