Answer:

Cell membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane is mainly composed of the lipid bilayer and embedded proteins. The hydrophobic core of the cell membrane does not allow the polar, charged, and large substances to move through it freely. However, the non-polar and small substances can diffuse through the membrane. Therefore, cell membranes are semipermeable and regulate the entry and exit of substances from cells.

In the given experiment, iodine molecules from the beaker enter the dialysis tube and turned the starch solution black. On the other hand, the large starch molecules were not allowed to diffuse across the dialysis tube and there was no change in the color of the iodine solution present in the beaker. This represents that the dialysis tube served as a semipermeable membrane and allowed only selected molecules to pass through it.

Which role do gametes play in reproduction?
Lesechka [4]
<span>C. Gametes are the sex cells, and each (sperm and ovum) contain half of the parent's genetic material. These cells will fuse to produce a zygote, which will usually contain the full number of genes required by an organism to live. If there is a chromosomal abnormality, such as a gamete with an extra chromosome, the offspring can either die in development or sometimes be born with physiological and/or developmental difficulties. An example of this phenomenon is trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, in which the 21st chromosome bears 3 copies instead of the regular 2.</span>
