The correct answer is small hydrophobic molecules.

The smaller the molecule and the more hydrophobic, or nonpolar, it is, the more rapidly it will diffuse across a membrane. It is because of the composition of membrane (lipid bilayer). By contrast, membrane is highly impermeable to charged molecules (ions), no matter how small they are.

In beans the pod texture and growth form genes are located on different chromosomes. There are two varieties of beans in a farme

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. Genotype in F1 - TtBb

Phenotype in F1 - tough pods, bush-type growth

b. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 5/8

c. Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 1/4

d. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 1/8

Explanation:

Since the two traits are located on different chromosomes, they will independently assort during gametes formation. T is dominant over t and B is dominant over b.

Two true-breeding varieties were crossed at the beginning of the program:

TTBB x ttbb

All F1 plants will have the genotype TtBb with tough pods and bush-type growth form.

Advancing the cross to F2:

TtBb x TtBb

Progeny

1 TTBB - tough pods, bush-type

2 TTBb - tough pods, bush-type

2 TtBB - tough pods, bush-type

4 TtBb - tough pods, bush-type

1 TTbb - tough pods, climbing-type

2 Ttbb - tough pods, climbing-type

1 ttBB - tender pods, bush-type

2 ttBb - tender pods, bush-type

1 ttbb - tender pods, climbing-type

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 10/16 = 5/8

Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 4/16 = 1/4

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 2/16 = 1/8

Which is an example of positive gravitropism?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

c. the plant root growing down into the soil

Explanation:

The plant root going down deep into the soil is an example of positive gravitropism. Gravity pulls everything towards the center of earth i.e. downwards and roots follow the direction of gravity automatically by growing downward towards soil that is why it is known as positive gravitropism. In short we can say that root favors the direction of gravity.

Shoot on the other hand show negative geotropism/gravitropism i.e. it grows towards the opposite direction of gravity. Shoot grow towards upside direction i.e. away from the surface towards sky.
