Answer:

n order to function, cells are required to move materials in and out of their cytoplasm via their cell membranes. These membranes are semipermeable, meaning that certain molecules are allowed to pass through, but not others. This movement of molecules is mediated by the phospholipid bilayer and its embedded proteins, some of which act as transport channels for molecules that otherwise would not be able to pass through the membrane, such as ions and carbohydrates.

Which type of mutation affects the largest number of genes
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Chromosomal Mutation

Explanation:

The development and function of an organism is in large part controlled by genes. Mutations can lead to changes in the structure of an encoded protein or to a decrease or complete loss in its expression. Because a change in the DNA sequence affects all copies of the encoded protein, mutations can be particularly damaging to a cell or organism. In contrast, any alterations in the sequences of RNA or protein molecules that occur during their synthesis are less serious because many copies of each RNA and protein are synthesized.

Geneticists often distinguish between the genotype and phenotype of an organism. Strictly speaking, the entire set of genes carried by an individual is its genotype, whereas the function and physical appearance of an individual is referred to as its phenotype. However, the two terms commonly are used in a more restricted sense: genotype usually denotes whether an individual carries mutations in a single gene (or a small number of genes), and phenotype denotes the physical and functional consequences of that genotype.

Briefly explain how producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and scavengers are related in an environment.
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Producers are very important to ecosystem reason being without the producers we would not be able to survive. Producers make their own food by use of sun which turns simple raw materials into food.
 Herbivores are consumers who eat only green plants. Omnivores eat animals and plants. Scavengers only eat dead organisms. Scavengers help the environment in that they eat dead organisms and decomposes the broken organic material down to the raw material.
