Answer:

Prevent the passage of certain molecules into the cell.

Explanation:

Cell membrane or plasma membrane consists of lipid bilayer in which proteins are embedded. The carbohydrates are present in the plasma membrane in association with lipids and proteins.

The cell membrane acts as the semi-permeable membrane that allows the movement of selected particles into and out of the cell. The molecules may enter through diffusion, osmosis or by active transport depending on the tyep of molecule.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell?Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell?
denis23 [38]

Hello good afternoon...God bless :) here is the answer to your following question...

Explanation:

Osmosis is important to cells because it allows them to maintain water homeostasis. The most important function of osmosis is stabilising the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and intercellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This obviously is essential to the survival of a cell.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

47 chromosomes

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of division that reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells by half i.e. 2n - n. It occurs only in reproductive cells to produce sex cells or gametes. In humans, meiosis occurs to produce gametes (egg and sperm) that have 23 haploid chromosomes.

N.B: Somatic human cells have 46 chromosomes

According to this question, a meiotic error occurred during gamete formation, resulting in an egg that has 24 chromosomes. If that egg is fertilized by a normal sperm i.e. sperm with 23 chromosomes. A zygote that posseses (23 + 24) = 47 chromosomes will be produced.

Attached earlobes are recessive to free earlobes. what is the probability of having a child with attached earlobes when an indiv
erma4kov [3.2K]
I believe that the probability of having an individual with attached earlobes will be 50%. Since the attached earlobes is recessive then its genotype will be (ee), for the unattached ear lobes the genotype will be EE, Ee. Therefore, mating between an individual with attached ear lobes (ee) and one with unattached ear lobes, heterozygous, Ee,  the offspring will be; Ee, Ee, ee, or ee. Therefore; half of the offspring will have unattached ear lones (heterozygous) while another half will have attached ear lobes.
