The cholesterol increases the stability of the cell membrane

Explanation:

The cholesterol molecules are intercalated in the fatty acid chains of the hydrophobic layer of the bilipid layer. They prevent the fatty acid chains from tightly packing together (from the many hydrogen bond interactions between the chains). Therefore the cell membrane retains fluidity even when temperature go below homeostatic levels in the body. In addition increase the boiling point of the cell membrane (acting the way impurities do) hence reducing its disruption even when temperature goes above homeostatic levels in the body.

What is the probability of sampling a homozygous recessive individual from a population of 100 tree frogs if the the recessive a
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The probability of sampling a homozygous recessive individual from a population of 100 tree frogs indicates that, the frequency of latent allele is 0.06 for example q2 is 0.06. Thus, it has been implies that each 6 tree frogs have the passive allele out of 100. So, the likelihood of accepting the tree frogs with homozygous passive tree frogs will be essentially 6%.
