Answer: Option B

Explanation: The thin layer that forms the outer covering of the cell is known as the cell membrane. It is composed of the lipid bilayer which as embedded proteins.

This membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows only specific molecules to pass through them.

The main function of cell membrane is to protect the cell from the outer environment and by the invasion of harmful bacteria and viruses.

An albino woman marries a phenotypically normal man with no family history of albinism. What percentage of their children are li
maw [93]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

This involves a single gene coding for melanin pigment in the skin. The recessive form of this gene (allele) is albinism while the dominant form is a normal skin. The question highlights that the normal male parent (dominant) has no family history of albinism, this means that nobody in their family has ever possessed albinism or has been a carrier/heterozygous for the trait. This is because a carrier/heterozygote will always produce the recessive trait (albinism) if crossed with another carrier or albino individual.

In a nutshell, the normal male parent is homozygous for the dominant trait. Hence, if a homozygous dominant male is crossed with an albino woman (homozygous recessive), all their offsprings will possess a heterozygous genotype and dominant phenotype. Meaning that none of their children will ba an albino.

Hence, the percentage of their child being an albino is 0.
