Answer:

The answer to the question: Predict the effect of fatty acid saturation on the ease with which a membrane can be split by freeze fracturing, would be: just like high temperature and cholesterol presence will ensure the fluidity, or lack of it, of a plasma membrane, the presence of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on the tail ends of phospholipids will increase the fluidity, or make it possible for the union between phospholipids to be broken up.

Thus, a phospholipid bilayer that is clustered with saturated fatty acids will shorten the distance between phospholipid molecules until they become like a rock wall and can be broken easily, because the tail ends tend to cluster together. This happens when temperature drops too low, especially under testing conditions like freezing them.

Under normal circumstances this will not happen because of cholesterol molecules and also because the presence of unsaturated fatty acids inside the lipid middle of the bilayer, where the tail ends are, prevent clustering of the tail ends and keep them moving.

Some environmental factors are how many deer there are in that park. If there is not a lot of deer, then the deer bag limit shouldn't go up, otherwise, there would be no more.

Vitek1552 [10]
Answer - A. Mating Must occur randomly 

Reasoning - Since mating must occur randomly are helps with the balance or equilibrium in genetic without any changes within that population since we do not want genetic drift, mutation and especially do not want any foreign or different species mating with the species we are targeting. So A is your best answer.

Which characteristic of the male reproductive system is not variable among animal species that reproduce sexually?
Kay [80]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A.) Presence of genitalia.

B.) Shape of genitalia.

C.) Presence of a scrotum.

D.) Composition of accessory fluids.

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

The reproductive system which is the system formed by the organ which is involved in the reproduction in an organism. These reproductive organs are known as genitalia. Since reproduction is one of the criteria of the cellular organisms, reproduction is possessed by all the organisms on Earth.

The animals which bear the reproductive structures therefore always show the presence of both internal and external reproduce organs like testes, Vas deferens as internal organs and penis and scrotum as external organs.

Thus, Option-A is correct.
