It is because they have hydrophilic phosphate groups that are attracted to water and hydrophobic fatty acid tails that avoid water. 

Hope this helps!

Why is it more important to check for errors in dna replication than translation
Thepotemich [5.8K]

An error in transcription/translation affects only one cell.

An error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells.

When cattle with solid white coats (W) are mated to cattle with solid red coats (R), the offspring are roan (WR).
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

1/2 or 50%

Explanation:

The question involves a single gene coding for coat color in cattle. According to the question, the allele for red coat (R) is codominant to the allele for white coat (W). This means that neither of the two alleles are dominant nor recessive over one another, hence, they are both phenotypically expressed in their hybrid offspring (Roan coat, WR).

In a cross between two roan cattle (WR), each cattle will produce gametes with W and R alleles. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), a total of four possible offsprings will be produced with genotypes: RR, WR, WR, and WW.

RR (1/4) : Red coat

WR (1/2 or 2/4) : Roan coat

WW (1/4) : White coat

Based on this, the probability of producing an offspring that will be roan from the cross between two roan cattles is 2/4 equivalent to 1/2.

The phylogenetic distribution of the enzyme rubisco is limited to
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
<h2>The phylogenetic distribution of the enzyme RuBisCo is limited to all photoautotrophs, both bacterial and eukaryotic. </h2>

Explanation:

  • This is because the  RuBisCo mechanism takes place in all photoautotrophs and fixes inorganic CO2 into organic biomass or the biosphere through the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis.
  • The D-Ribulose-1, 5-Biphosphate Carboxylase-Oxygenase or RuBisCo is a catalytic enzyme that plays a crucial part in photosynthesis through carbon fixation by photoautotrophs including bacteria and eukaryotes.
  • The RuBisCo takes part in photosynthesis especially in Calvin Cycle during fixation of carbon from carbon dioxide to D-Ribulose.
  • Since it is a photosynthetic enzyme, it is present in photoautotrophs .
