Which statement about fungal cell walls is false? Fungal cell walls are similar in function to the cell walls of many protists,
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Cell walls prevent cells from dying in hypertonic conditions.

Explanation:

The cell wall is a rigid structure, essential for the survival of fungi, and knowledge of its composition may be useful for the development of new antifungal drugs. This wall does not alter the characteristics of the fungus, it stimulates and presses the fungus to flourish.

The fungal cell walls are similar in function to the cell walls of many protists, bacteria and plants. They prevent cells from bursting in hypotonic environments, but are unable to prevent cells from dying in hypertonic conditions. These cell walls also provide the cell with a degree of physical environmental protection and differ in the molecular composition of plant cell walls, as the fungal cell walls are chitin, while the plant cell walls are formed by cellulose.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Homozygous recessive

Explanation:

The parents of the individual displaying the sickle cell anemia (SS) are phenotypically normal parents meaning, both parents are carriers of the (AS) gene which is a recessive trait for sickle cell anemia.

The individual took up the SS allele from both parents which makes him/her homozygous recessive. An individual is said to be homozygous recessive if that individual carries two copies of the same recessive allele.

Homozygous dominant is when an individual carries two copies of the same dominant allele (e.g AA).
