Answer:

The non-polar fatty acid tails of amphipathic phospholipids make the insoluble boundary of cells.

Explanation:

Cell membranes are bilayer of phospholipids. Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules and have a polar head and non-polar tail. The non-polar tails of two phospholipid layers are buried and make the core of the membrane while the polar heads are located towards the surrounding water.

This arrangement of phospholipids makes an insoluble covering of cell and helps the cell to maintain the interior distinct from the surroundings.

It makes sense that cell membranes are made of phospholipids because water cant mix in with lipids, so the phospholipids will be able to effectively block out any unwanted water or chemicals suspended in water outside of the cell.

The law of_____
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is - segregation.

Explanation:

The law of segregation states that out of two factors or alleles of a gene located in an organism, only one allele or factor is distributed to each sperm cell or egg cell (gamete) randomly, So, the segregation of the alleles are random and only one allele is distributed to each gamete according to this law.

The law of segregation helps in making a different combination of alleles in a particular species or population and leads to variation in genetics. It makes sure that traits distribute to each generation randomly.
