Answer:

Electrical gradient.

Explanation:

Ions DO NOT move in Ion channels by simple diffusion because most ion channels can be:

I) selective of ions pass through it.

II) operating on a "open and close" principle. Where it opens or close on its own accord OR does so ONLY when induced by a specific influence like change in voltage of ion channels.

IN ADDITION to the concentration gradient, ELECTRICAL GRADIENTS (change in membrane voltage) affects the movement of ions through ion channels

If B represents the allele for black eyes (dominant) and b represents the allele for orange eyes (recessive), what would be the
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

1 black : 1 orange

Explanation:

This is a typical monohybrid cross involving a single gene coding for eye color in MendAlien. The allele for black eyes (B) is dominant over the allele for orange eyes (b). In an heterozygous state, Bb i.e. combination of both dominant (B) and recessive (b) alleles, the MendAlien will be phenotypically black.

In a cross between a heterozygous MendAlien (Bb) and an orange-eyed MendAlien (bb), two of the offsprings will have a Bb genotype and be phenotypically black-eyed which the other two will have a bb genotype and be phenotypically orange-eyed. Thus, a phenotypic ratio of 2 Bb : 2 bb will be obtained.

This is also equal to 1:1 i.e. 1 black-eyed : 1 orange-eyed.
