Ans.
Diffusion, osmosis, and active transport are mechanism of cellular transport that involves movement of molecules through plasma membrane. Diffusion shows movement of small, hydrophobic particles without the help of protein molecules through cell membrane along the concentration gradient.
Osmosis involves movement of water molecules against concentration gradient (from an area of high solvent concentration to an area of low solvent concentration) through cell membrane.
Active transport shows movement of particles, against the concentration gradient, means from a region of higher to lower concentration of molecules through cell membrane. It involves transport through membrane proteins.
Thus, the part of cell, which is affected by the movement of molecules through osmosis, diffusion, and active transport is cell membrane or plasma membrane.
Answer:
(i) An allele is a variant of a gene, can either be short or tall.
Dominant = the tall allele that "trumps" the short allele. if a dominant and recessive allele is present (heterozygous) then the dominant phenotype will be shown.
(ii) David's eyes are Brown
(iii) Sarah's eyes are blue
(iv) David - B, b
Sarah - b, b
(v) Possible genotypes include Bb and bb. These give the phenotypes of brown eyes or blue eyes.
(vi) The chance for blue eyes is 50% (or 1:1 ratio)
Answer AND Explanation:
Darwin describes natural selection as a process whereby nature selects those organisms that have favourable characteristics to be parents of the next generation. The individuals possessing the favourable traits are better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. This enables them to stand a better chance to survive in the struggle for existence due to limited resources.
Answer:
no population at maximum density............. The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals that the environment can sustain.
using seeds from the same source.
using the same kind of soil for both groups.
giving the control and experimental groups the same volume of water.
keeping the light the same for the experimental and control groups.
measuring plant height the same way and at the same time for both groups.
