Explain why the cell membrane in animal cells is thicker than in plant cells.
Valentin [98]
Animal cells are unique in that they do not exhibit cell walls.Plant cells exhibit very stiff pecto-cellulosic walls, notably because of the presence of cellulose microfibrils, the stiffness of which compares to that of steel.

JulsSmile [24]

<span>Out of the following given choices;</span>

A. The Geiger counter being used to detect radiation is broken.

B. Two or more samples we accidentally swapped, causing confusion.

C. A virus contaminated the reaction in which the probe was made.

D. The human genome might contain at least one viral gene.

 

The answer is D. This means that the viral DNA inserted itself in the human tissue DNA aand became a prophage. A prophage is a latent form of viral infection where the inserted viral DNA has no interference with the host cell biochemical processes. The prophage will be present in the daughter cells of the host cells.

You have spent time working with a population of beetles. Sexually mature males range in size from 2-6 cm in length. You realize
babymother [125]

Answer:

Option B, No

Explanation:

Complete question is as follows -

You have spent time working with a population of beetles. Sexually mature males range in size from 2-6 cm in length. You realize that the females only mate with males that measure less than 3 cm long. If you measured allele frequencies at a single gene (locus) that contributes to overall length, would you expect this population to be in H-W equilibrium from one generation to the next?

Select one:

a. Yes

b. No

Solution -

No, because Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium theory is not applicable in practical scenario as it assumes that H-W equilibrium persists from one generation to the other only when these is no disturbing factor . These disturbing factors include – natural selection, non-random mating, genetic drift, gene flow and mutations. Since this theory works only in an idealized state where no such disturbances occur, it is very difficult to say that the beetle population can remain in H-W equilibrium. Also the females in the beetle population are selecting the males for mating thereby exhibiting sexual selection. Hence, H-W equilibrium will not be applicable.

Hence, option B
