Fluid mosaic is a term used to describe the current model of the cell membrane. Cell membranes are basically double layers (bilayers) of molecules called phospholipids.A mosaic is a structure made up of many different parts.<span> Mainly because of the way the plasma membrane is made up. It is fluid because it can wave and wobble like fluid, a bit sticky though. Due to the phospholipids sticking together. It is called mosaic because there are various proteins stuck inside the fluid creating a kind of patchwork or mosaic </span>

What is the purpose of the lab, the importance of kinetic energy, and the question you are trying to answer?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Laboratory is the place for experiment.

Explanation:

Laboratory is the place for experiment and the purpose for that is doing research and experimentation to confirm or discover new knowledge by using scientific method. Kinetic energy is very important because it has the ability to do work. It enables the body to move from one place to another. The molecules of water in the hot water has kinetic energy which able them to escape in the air against pressure of atmosphere.

What are the different ways fungal spores can be dispersed?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

The spores of some fungi are dispersed in water or on the surface of water. The chemical composition of the wall of these spores makes them "non-wettable" so they won't sink. The spores are carried along on the surface of the water like little boats. Water in the form of raindrops can disperse spores in a different way. While gravity is not a primary means of spore dispersal, evolutionary adaptations have been required of many fungi to overcome gravitational effects for effective spore dispersal. SPORE DISPERSAL BY WIND Dispersal of fungal spores by wind is by far the most common method for terrestrial fungi.

An individual with this karyotype would be described as A) an abnormal male with nondisjunction. B) a normal male with the expec
kaheart [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is an abnormal male with nondisjunction.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The karytope is the complete picture of chromosomes present in a cell of an individual.

It is used to study the chromosome number and abnormalities related with chromosome numbers.

Chromosomal nondisjunction is the consequence when the homologous chromosomes are not completely separated from each other during meiosis.

While chromosomal translocation is the crossing over of genetic material between two chromosomes.

Only chromosomal disjunction can be seen from the karyotype.

fomenos
Crop modification is when the DNA of a plant is altered, commonly used to make them more desirable. For example, bananas weren’t always these long and seedless fruits but with crop modification, over time scientists were able to change the DNA of the banana we know today.
