Answer:

Glucose.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is made up of lipid bilayer and proteins are embedded or may span the lipid bilayer. The carbohydrates are present in association with lipids and proteins.

The artificial membrane has been prepared that are free from proteins. Small uncharged particles may easily diffuse through the membrane. Among the given molecules in the question water is the smallest molecule and diffuse out first through the plasma membrane. Ethanol is 2 carbon compound and diffuse after water than glycerol diffuses as it is a 3 carbon compound. Glucose is the largest molecule and diffuse last through the plasma membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Answer:

<em>The offspring which carries the allele II will be homozygous dominant.</em>

Explanation:

A dominant trait can be described as a trait which masks the effect of a recessive trait. A recessive trait can be described as a trait which gets masked by the dominant trait.

A homozygous dominant trait occurs when both the alleles for the gen are dominant. A heterozygous dominant trait occurs when one allele is dominant and the other is recessive for the trait.  

Hence, a homozygous dominant trait will carry the alleles II.
