Answer:

The right answer is (B) the extracted lipids cover twice the surface area of the intact red blood cells.

Explanation:

To explain this statement is necessary to take into consideration the structure of a lipid. On the first place lipids that form membranes are called phospholipids, this means they have one 'head' that is hydrophilic and a tail composed by the lipidic chain that is hydrophobic.

In a biologic context, the phospholipids form the cellular membrane. They do so by a bi-layer disposition, meaning that one the external side of the cell there is a layer of phospholipids with the hydrophilic head and in the internal side, there is a second layer of phospholipids with the hydrophilic head. The hydrophobic 'tails' are in the middle. This disposition is due to the fact that both the external and the internal environments are water based.

Therefore, since each cell has a bilayer membrane of phospholipids, when the cells are dissolved and all the lipids that used to form the membrane are put together, they will occupy twice the surface of the red blood cells.

Answer: B (Color blindness)

Explanation:

Typical red-green color blindness in human patients is caused by mutations on genes located in the X chromosome. These mutations act in a recessive manner. Since females have two X chromosomes, the presence of a mutation in a single one of them does not normally result in color blindness. Males, in contrast, have a single X chromosome and therefore the presence of a mutation is likely to cause the disease.

About the other options: Down‘s syndrome is a numerical chromosomal anomaly, not related to sex. Human blood type is a codominant trait. Finally, tail length in dogs is a polygenic trait not amenable to classic Mendelian analysis.

VikaD [51]

No there is no selective pressure that confers an advantage to those who do taste it.

Despite the fact that PTC isn't found in nature, tasting other bitter substances—many of which are toxins—that do occur naturally has a high correlation with taste sensitivity.

In order to defend themselves from being eaten, plants develop a range of harmful substances. Early humans developed the capacity to distinguish bitter tastes as a safeguard against ingesting dangerous plants. There are roughly 30 genes in humans that produce bitter taste receptors. People may taste a large variety of bitter substances because each receptor can interact with a number of different molecules.
