Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) transporting ions against an electrochemical gradient

B) cell-cell recognition

C) maintaining fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer

D) attaching to the cytoskeleton

E) establishing the diffusion barrier to charged molecules

The answer is B

Explanation:

Generally, oligosaccharides are short chains of polysaccharides/carbohydrates. They make up the structure of membranes including the plasma membrane. Oligosaccharides attached to the protein content of the cell membrane to form a substance called GLYCOPROTEIN. The attached oligosaccharides functions in the ability for a cell to recognize another cell.

According to this question, if an animal whose cell is lacking oligosaccharides on the external surface of its plasma membrane, the most likely impairment would be that of CELL-CELL recognition.

The professional that most likely will be called in to help seismologist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

When an underwater earthquake has just been recorded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the seismologists will be called to determine if the effects of this earthquake and whether or not it will cause tsunamis off the coast of Hawaii.

Seismology is the study of earthquakes, the escalation of waves and the effects they might have. A seismologist is a scientist who is concerned with these studies. They make use of seismographs and other relevant tools to gather essential data which helps in reading the planetary movements and understanding them better. The study does not always predict an earthquake but it helps in predicting the possibility of tsunamis. Seismology enabled the development of tsunami warning systems.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Correct answer is A and B.

Explanation:

Because the Tonkinese breed has a coat that is intermediate to the coat color of the Siamese and Burmese, we can say that this demonstrates incomplete dominance which means that the dominant allele does not have the ability to completely mute the recessive allele in the phenotype.

This is also true because of the development points on the coat of the Tonkinese breed.  

So the correct answer is A and B.

I hope this answer helps.
