Membrane lipids in tissue samples obtained from different parts of a reindeer’s leg have different fatty acid compositions. Memb

rane lipids from tissue near the hooves contain a larger proportion of unsaturated fatty acids than those from tissue in the upper leg. What is the significance of this observation?

Answer:

At lower temperature, membranes maintain fluidity by having a higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids.

Explanation:

The fluidity of the membranes is affected by temperature. At lower temperature conditions, tight packing of saturated fatty acids makes the membranes more rigid. Therefore, membranes incorporate a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids to maintain the required fluidity. This is why the membrane lipids from the tissue near the hooves have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids as the temperature of the tissues of a reindeer near extremities is lower than that of the tissues from the upper leg.

Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!

Mendel proposed 3 laws:

1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait

2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.

3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.

This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment

The deeper a fossil is found in sedimentary rock, the__?
SashulF [63]
I think the answer is "the older it is"

Reason: I might be wrong but is something (like a shell) gets buried in something (like sand), overtime many things (like dirt, soil, sand, etc.) will be on top of the original. This will make layers. So, the older rock is on the bottom since it has been there for the longest and it gets covered by other stuff (causing the layers).

Hope this helps! :) (If I'm wrong, sorry :( )

What happens when a mechanical wave runs through a medium?
Volgvan

Once this initial energy is added, the wave travels through the medium until all its energy is transferred. In contrast, electromagnetic waves require no medium, but can still travel through one.
