If the plasma membrane was permeable, but not selectively permeable, how would that affect the cell?

Biology
1 answer:
Lelechka [254]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It would most likely kill the cell.

Explanation:

If a cell's membrane is fully permeable (not semi-permeable) then substances that are harmful to the cell are more than likely to enter it at one point or another, which can pretty much end up killing it.

In short, the semi-permeable membrane is there to ensure that only the useful stuff gets in and that the bad stuff stays out.

3. Pansies can grow to be tall (T), which is dominant, or short (t), which is recessive. They can also be red (R),
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Pansy 1 Genotype: TtRr

Pansy 2 Genotype: ttrr

Pansy 1 Gametes: TR, Tr, tR, tr

Pansy 2 Gametes: All tr

Phenotypic ratio of offspring: 1:1:1:1 (1 Tall red: 1 Tall white: 1 Short Red: 1 short white)

Explanation:

This is a cross involving two different genes; one coding for height and the other for colour in pansies. The allele for Tallness (T) is dominant over the allele for shortness (t) in the first gene while the allele for red color (R) is dominant over the allele for white color (r) in the second gene.

According to the question, a pansy

that is heterozygous for both traits will have a genotype: TtRr while a pansy that is homozygous recessive for both traits will have a genotype: ttrr

In a cross between a TtRr and ttrr, the following allelic combinations of gametes will be produced by each pansy;

TtRr- TR, Tr, tR and tr

ttrr- tr, tr, tr, tr

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), a phenotypic ratio 1:1:1:1 consisting of (4 Tall red: 4 Tall white: 4 Short Red: 4 short white) offsprings will be produced.

If nondisjunction occurs and an individual survives, which disorder can occur?
Semenov [28]
The answer is Klinefelter syndrome.
Nondisjunction disorders are conditions resulting from an unbalanced distribution of chromosomes. In the case of Klinefelter syndrome, the sex chromosomes are affected. Rather than having an XX for female or an XY for male people with Klinefelters have either XXY or XYY.
