Answer:

A single phosphate

Explanation:

A phospholipid is a fatty acid compound which is hydrophobic in nature due to which it forms the cell membrane of a cell.

The phospholipid is composed of a phosphate group, fatty acid chains, and glycerol molecules.

The glycerol molecule attached to a phosphate group forms the head of the phospholipid and the fatty acid forms the tail of the phospholipid. The head is the hydrophilic portion of the lipid while the tail is the hydrophobic portion of the phospholipid.

Thus, a single phosphate is correct

What are the four possible gametes of an organism has the genotype KkMm?

kozerog [31]

Answer:

KM, Km, kM, km

Explanation:

Gametes, which are only produced during sexual reproduction, are formed as a result of meiosis. According to Gregor Mendel in his law of Segregation, alleles of a gene will separate into gametes in such a way that only one form of a gene (allele) will be present in each gamete.

In this question involving a dihybrid with genotype: KkMm, the allele combinations of the gametes that will be produced after meiosis are KM, Km, kM, km.
