The characteristics or features that an organism has, such as eye color, skin color, hair color, tall or short is called a trait. In order for a trait to show up in the offspring, there should be two alleles present. One coming from the father, and the other from the mother. When fertilization occurs, the new offspring will have two alleles for every trait. The combination one has (coming from the father and from the mother) is called genotype. The two matching alleles is called homozygous while the two different alleles is called heterozygous. The allele that is expressed in heterozygous individuals is the dominant allele, while the allele that is not expressed is the recessive allele. The traits that are expressed make up you phenotype.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Phospholipid bilayer.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is defined as a biological membrane that separates the interiors of a cell from its external environment.

The plasma membrane has a function that protects the cell from its external environment, mediates cellular transport, and transmits cellular signals.

It is composed of a lipids bilayer (phospholipids and cholesterol), (phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group) with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules which hence, regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells. Plasma membranes is very flexible in order to allow cells change form example, red blood cells change shape as they pass through narrow capillaries.

What may occur when convergent boundaries interact?
nevsk [136]

Formation of island chains occurs when convergent boundaries interact and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Convergent boundary?</h3>

This refers to an area where two or more lithospheric plates collide in the earth.

When the y interact, island chains are formed which consists of sea with sparse islands around the area.

Drag labels at left into the appropriate targets on the right to complete this concept map about oxidative phosphorylation
almond37 [142]

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).
