The macronucleus is the larger elipse-shaped nucleus and takes care of
functions like respiration and digestion. In contrast to this, the
smaller micronucleus is only involved in cell division or reproduction.
Answer:
Unlike the queen bee, which has 32 chromosomes, drones have half the chromosomal charge (n= 16), so they are considered haploid.
Explanation:
The system of determination of the sex in the bees —like in other insects— is called haplodiploidy, and consists of which the females of the species possess complete charge of chromosomes, whereas the males only possess half. This is what happens with the queen bee with 32 chromosomes, while drones only have 16 chromosomes, so they are considered haploid.
Additionally, as a characteristic of haplodiploidy, males only proceed from female gametes, so they can only contribute gametes to produce females of the species.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>Drones, with half of the chromosomal charge, </em><u><em>cannot be diploid</em></u><em>.
</em>
- <u><em>Monosomy and trisomy</em></u><em> are defects in the distribution of chromosomes during meiosis, which imply one chromosome less or one chromosome more in the normal chromosome charge respectively.</em>
Answer: B) proteins in the membrane act like gates to control entrance and exit of molecules.
Explanation: Plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids bilayer in which the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids face each other to form the core of the bilayer. Proteins are embedded in the bilayer through an interaction between the amino acid side chains and the nonpolar acyl chains of the phospholipids. The embedded membrane proteins form channels for passage of ions and other molecules. Each membrane protein is selected for one or more ions or molecules that passes through it. The membrane is said to be semipermeable because it allows the passage of some molecules and excludes the passage of others.
The correct answer for this question is D - lipids. Lipids are also
known as fat, and are useful not only as protection, but also as long
term storage for energy, protection for vital organs. A certain type of
lipid even assists with communication between cells.
