Answer:

Letter B.

Explanation:

Aquaporins, also known as "water channels," are the main transport of water through the membranes of plant, animal, and bacterial cells. These channels allow the water to travel into and within cells and, at the same time, exclude the passage of ions and solutes.

What makes letter B the correct answer, is the form of transport and shape of the channel that allow water according to the osmotic gradient. In this model, letter A shows simple diffusion, while C and D seem to illustrate gated channels.

In pea plants, yellow seed color is dominated and green seed color is recessive. what will the generations look lik

Luba_88 [7]

To solve this you will have to do a punnett square.

Since the yellow seed is dominate let that represent: A.

For the green seed color that is recessive let that represent: a.

The punnett square would look like this:

a a

A Aa Aa

a aa aa

This shows that there is a 50% chance for each.

50% for green seeds (recessive)

50% for yellow seeds (dominate)

Hope this helps! :3
