3) The most common form of color-blindness - red/green color-blindness - is an X-linked recessive trait affecting around 8% of t

he male population in the US. What proportion of females would you expect to have this trait?

Answer:

0.08, because for an X-linked trait the genotype frequencies among males are the same as the allele frequencies. Therefore, you would expect about q2 = 0.0064 (or 0.64%) of the female population to be affected and 2pq =0.147 (or 14.7%) of the female population to be carriers.

A true Coelom develops completely within the mesoderm. It is also referred to as a body cavity passing down the trunk of some organisms <u>which originates through the splitting of the mesoderm during the initial stages of embryonic and later fits inner to it</u>. Organisms that have a Coelom contain complex structures and are found higher in the taxonomic order. i.e. the Coelomates

Explain hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic solutions and explain how cell behaves in the three solutions.
juin [17]
In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... If placed in a hypotonic solution, a red blood cell will bloat up and may explode, while in a hypertonic solution, it will shrivel—making the cytoplasm dense and its contents concentrated—and may die.

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.

Which of the following best represents a function of a lipid within an organism? O Lipids are components of cell membranes All t
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The statement that best represents a function of lipids within an organism is that they are components of cell membranes.

Explanation:

Lipids are biomolecules formed by the binding of fatty acids, important for structure, compound synthesis and energy reserve.

In living beings, one of the most important functions of lipids is to be the main component of cell membranes.

Specifically, phospholipids associate to form a double layer, called lipid bilayer, capable of acting as a semi-permeable membrane, due to its non-polar or hydrophobic character. In this way, <u>membrane lipids fulfill a structural and protective function of the cell and its contents</u>.

Regarding the other options:

  • <em>Proteins are made up of amino acids, not lipids. </em>
  • <em>Lipids are not constituents of the DNA structure.</em>
