The phenomena of polygenic inheritance would have become a grievous fault to his investigation, if he had investigated human height instead of stem length of pea plants.

Explanation:

The polygenic or polygenetic inheritance is the inheritance where the trait of a particular allele is passed on to the next generation with many genes involved in order to show the genotype and phenotype of the allele present on the same chromosome.

The stem length or plant height depends on the single factor of allelic gene inheritance and expression in phenotype, making it simpler to trace down the division of meiosis and control the experiment as needed. Considering human height for a chance, may lead to uncontrolled condition of having next generation study as well as the time required to be long. Other factor was that the height is dependent not only on the height gene expression but is controlled by nutrition and environmental factors too.

Explain the differences between diffusion in an open system and diffusion across biological membranes.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Diffusion : Is the movement of molecules / ions from a region of higher to lower concentration. It may or may not occur across a semi permeable membrane.

In diffusion there is no challenge involved as it is along the concentration gradient, but in active transport movement of molecules occur against concentration gradient ie; from lower to higher concentration.

2) For active transport, energy is vital for movement, in this case protein molecules function as molecular pumps to enable the cell accumulate glucose/ions, against concentration gradient. Here metabolic energy ATP is required.

3)Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport in which ions/molecules cross the semi permeable membrane because permeases present in the membrane facilitate the transport.

Like simple diffusion facilitated diffusion doesn't require metabolic energy and simply occurs across the concentration gradient.

4) Osmosis : is movement of water from hypotonic solution (lower concentration) to hypertonic solution (higher concentration) through a semi permeable membrane.

The cell membrane being permeable to water allows to and fro movement of water molecules along the concentration gradient.
