Answer:

The polar head groups of phospholipids interact with water while the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails are packed away from the water.

Explanation:

A phospholipid contains glycerol to which hydrocarbon tails are bonded. These hydrocarbon tails make the hydrophobic region of the phospholipids and are packed away from the water to make the inner core of the membranes. Glycerol of a phospholipid also has a phosphate group attached to its third carbon. The phosphate and glycerol moiety together make the hydrophilic head part of the phospholipid and interact with the surrounding water.

Nana76 [90]

The provided question has marked options incorrectely the correct order as follows:

A) Expose putative DNA repair mutant plants to ionizing radiation L and see if they survive less well than wild-type plants.

B) Measure the amount of post-translational processing that occurs in the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

C) Measure the somatic mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

D) Expose the putative DNA repair mutant plants to a deaminating agent and select those that have a decreased mutation rate.

E) Measure the germline spontaneous and induced mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Answer:

The correct answer is: A), C) and E)

Explanation:

The breeder wants to isolate the mutants in tomatoes that are defective in DNA repair, to identify such plants breeder should follow these methods as they will allow best to identifying the defective tomatoes-

Measure the somatic mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Measure the germline spontaneous and induced mutation rates for the putative DNA repair mutant plants.

Expose putative DNA repair mutant plants to ionizing radiation L and see if they survive less well than wild-type plants.  This will allow the breeder to see and analyze the ability of DNA repair in tomatoes

If cells are grown in a medium containing radioactive 15n, which of these molecules will be labeled?
Bezzdna [24]
The molecules that will be labeled will be both proteins and nuclei acids. This is  because both proteins and amino acids contain nitrogen. Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They perform many of work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's organs and tissues. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are made amine groups which contain radioactive nitrogen, while nucleic acids contain nitrogenous bases with radioactive nitrogen.
