The correct answer is:

(A) In metaphase I, tetrad sets of homologous chromosomes stay together as they line up along the center of the cell.

Explanation:

In meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair with each other (i.e., they form tetrads) and crossing-over occur. In mitosis, not of these things occur. In metaphase I of meiosis, tetrads follow on the metaphase plate.  In mitosis, there is only one state and it creates two daughter cells

Answer: the membrane channel

Explanation:

In passive diffusion, the small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer seen in blue. This layer acts as a semi-permeable or selectively permeable membrane; its hydrophilic heads are attracted to water (seen facing outwards) while its water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing  molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Thus the water will move from an area of high concentration  to an area of low concentration, until the system reaches a steady state called equilibrium- after this, there will be no net movement of water. Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

The dialysis tubing mimics a semi permeable membrane; it only allows water and small molecules of iodine to cross into the bag containing starch. The tubing is impermeable to starch;  these large molecules require the aid of protein omplexes called membrane channels, in order to move across the membrane and against the concentration gradient.

Jenny is trying to describe a wave. Which example would be the best description?
hoa [83]
<span>I believe the answer would be B - the toy car would hit another toy car that would in turn hit another toy car, and so on. A wave has a ripple effect, so it will continue to happen down the line, until there is a force that stops it, or there are no more cars to hit.</span>
