Solution:

The genetic material dna consists of basic subunits called Nucleotides.

Nucleotides are the subunits of DNA. The four nucleotides are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.

Anika [276]

Explanation:

B) protein channel

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backone) with up to 36 carbons.

Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Via <em>diffusion,</em> small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins.

Carrier proteins (also called carriers, permeases, or transporters) bind the specific solute to be transported and undergo a series of conformational changes to transfer the bound solute across the membrane. Transport proteins spanning the plasma membrane facilitate the movement of ions and other complex, polar molecules which are typically prevented from moving across the membrane.
Channel proteins which are pores filled with water versus enabling charged molecules to diffuse across the membrane, from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration. This is a passive part of facilitated diffusion

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<h2>Recessive to </h2>

Explanation:

1. As given here, both parents are black, and their 247 progeny out of 333 are black, it clearly indicates that 3/4 progeny is parental phenotype and 1/4 is different type.

2. This clearly show that both parents are heretogyzous, one allele is dominant and one is recessive.

3. Here black is dominant over blue.

4. Dominant allele express them-self in dominant homogyzous as well as heterogyzous condition.

If you could take all the dna out of your body would it fit on a plate?

ANEK [815]

No unless if you have a plate for kings, if you were to take all your DNA out of your body it would be just under 2 meters long.

"the term normally applied when two genes fail to assort independently is ________."

IgorC [24]

LINKAGE

Independent assortment refers to the allele segregation of two different genes. They are expected to be segregated from each other independently.This is not seen in monohybrids, they are usually heterozygous for an allelic pair only. Link genes cannot assort independently. These are inherited together during meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. Usually genes that are close together will tend to stick together resulting into inheritance of genes as pairs.
