Answer:

The correct option is d) head.

Explanation:

Bicoid protein works as a transcription factor. It enters the nuclei of the embryos in early segmentation, where it activates the hunchback gene. In Drosophila, embryonic development begins at the time of fertilization. The sperm enters the mature oocyte through the micropile, a structure located in what will be the anterior region of the egg. Bicoid and hunchback mRNAs, protein products are critical for the formation of the head and thorax. Already in the early stages of oocyte development, certain mRNAs are located in specific regions of the oocyte: mRNA molecules encoding the Bicoid protein are preferentially located in the anterior region of the oocyte. Moderate levels of the bicoid protein are necessary to activate the formation of the thorax (i.e., the expression of the hunchback gene) but the formation of the head requires high concentrations of Bicoid, the promoters of a specific gap gene of the head must have sites of low affinity binding for Bicoid, so that this gene can be activated only in extremely high concentrations of Bicoid.

The lack of Bicoid protein affects the formation of the head and other structures in the anterior region of the oocyte.

Explain the fluid mosaic model
MrRa [10]
The model describes how cellular membranes i.e. lipid bilayers are organized. Despite the fluidity, lipid bilayers can form certain domains with different characterisrics and compositions. The cell can use different mixtures of lipids to create a 'mosaic' or 'patchwork' of domains.
An example of such domains are so called 'lipid rafts' which are aggregates of certain lipids (mostly cholesterol and sphingomyelins). In these rafts the lateral diffusion of membrane-bound proteins is strongly reduced, thereby forming stable complexes to facilitate, for example, signal-processing and transduction.
Note that a lot about how or why a cell creates these domains is still unknown.

Measure temperature in the international system of units
Schach [20]

Answer:

Use the formula K = °C + 273.15

Explanation: However, if you are given the temp in °F, then use this equation °F = 1.8(°C) + 32. You can also use this equation to convert °F →°C, which is the following: °C = °F - 32/1.8. When you find °C, then plug that into the first equation I provided in the answer!
