Answer: B) proteins in the membrane act like gates to control entrance and exit of molecules.

Explanation: Plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids bilayer in which the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids face each other to form the core of the bilayer. Proteins are embedded in the bilayer through an interaction between the amino acid side chains and the nonpolar acyl chains of the phospholipids. The embedded membrane proteins form channels for passage of ions and other molecules. Each membrane protein is selected for one or more ions or molecules that passes through it. The membrane is said to be semipermeable because it allows the passage of some molecules and excludes the passage of others.

In the wild-type operon (a+ b+ c+ d+ e+), how does the presence of the signal affect expression of the structural enzymes ?

NARA [144]

I think the presence of a signal affect the expression of the structural enzymes in that it stops the production of the structural enzymes. Without the signals, the structural enzymes are produced. Genomic DNA contains both the structural genes that encodes products that serve as cellular structures or enzymes, and regulatory genes, which encode products that regulate the expression. In multicellular organisms allows for cellular differentiation while in single celled organisms like prokaryotes , regulation ensures that a cell's resources are not wasted making proteins that the cell does not need at that time.

Stem cells can differentiate into any type of cell so they can be used to produce/repair nerve tissues. Advantage of using embryonic stem cells is that they are easier to extract than adult stem cells.

Answer:

<u>Changes in inheritable physical or behavioural traits</u> due to changes caused by variations as the organism move from one generation to another.

In addition changes in selective pressures of their new environments in order to gain adaptions for survival in the new environment is another factor for this changes.
