Answer:
Presence of an enzyme
Explanation:
Enzymes are the biomolecules present in cells. The enzymes serve to catalyze the chemical reactions that occur inside the cells. Enzymes speed up the rate of the chemical reaction and allow the formation of products at a fast rate. This is done by lowering down the activation energy that is required to begin a chemical reaction. This energy breaks down the older bonds present in substrates so that new bonds can be formed. Enzymes lower down the activation energy to speed up the reactions.
Answer:
Plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer. To be more exact there is two fatty acids making up the polar hydrophilic head, and a phosphate group attached as the non-polar hydrophobic tail. Proteins have many uses in regards to the cell membrane. In a nutshell they are used for diffusion of molecules across the plasma membrane. They are different types of diffusion, most noteably you should try and know the different between passive and active transport the latter of which involves a protien pump. Carbohydrates are used for cushiing the cell membrane and for cell recognition.

Answer:
A. Heritable
C. Affected by the MC1R gene
D. Polygenic trait
Has evolved due to evolutionary processes such as natural selection.
Explanation:
Human skin color is a polygenic trait as it is regulated by more than one gene. Each allele of these genes has an additive effect on the overall skin color of an individual. Therefore, the trait is a continuous trait, not a discrete one. The genes for human skin color are transmitted from parents to progeny which in turn makes it a heritable trait.
The gene MC1R codes for melanocortin 1 receptor and thereby, regulate the skin color of humans since melanocyte-stimulating hormone binds to the receptor to trigger the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes. Evolution of various skin color in human beings is regulated by natural selection which in turn favors the skin tone best suited under the prevailing climatic conditions of a particular human population
Q1. The answer is: a dominant allele.
An allele that appears or expresses itself over a recessive trait is called a dominant allele. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. Dominant alleles are responsible for dominant traits and if two dominant alleles are found together, a dominant trait will be expressed. Similarly, if two recessive alleles are found together, a recessive trait will be expressed. However, if both recessive allele and dominant allele are found together, the recessive allele will be masked by the dominant allele and a dominant trait will be expressed.
Q2. The answer is: homozygous.
If an organism that has two of the same alleles for a trait it is said to be homozygous. If it has two dominant alleles, it is dominant homozygous. If it has two recessive alleles, it is recessive homozygous. If an organisms have two different alleles (one dominant and one recessive), it is said to be heterozygous.
Q3. The answer is: An allele is a single form of a gene inherited from one parent.
Genes are sequences of nucleotides, or parts of genetic information, that are responsible for different traits. Different forms of genes are called alleles. Each gene has two alleles - one inherited from a mother and another inherited from a father.
Q4. The answer is: heterozygous.
If a person has two different alleles for a certain trait like eye color we call that heterozygous. If a person has two same alleles for a certain trait, it is called homozygous. If both alleles are dominant, it is called dominant homozygous. If both alleles are recessive, it is called recessive homozygous. However, if two different alleles (one dominant and one recessive) are found together, it is called heterozygous.
Q5. The answer is: DNA
A gene is a small segment of DNA that codes for a certain trait. One of the organelles inside the cells is the nucleus. The genetic material of the cell is found inside the nucleus. It is in the form of chromosomes, a complex of DNA and proteins. Further, a small segment of DNA that codes for a certain trait is called a gene.
Q6. The answer is: 46.
Almost all human cells have 46 chromosomes. These cells are diploid which means that it has two sets of chromosomes. There are two pairs of 23 chromosomes, each one from each parent. Only gametes have 23 chromosomes. They are haploid and have only one set of chromosomes.
Q7. The answer is: 2 alleles.
Alleles are different forms of genes. Each gene has two alleles. One allele is inherited from a mother and one allele is inherited from a father. So, for each gene, offspring will receive two alleles, each one from each parent.
Q8. The answer is True.
Organisms get one allele for each trait from each parent. Alleles are different forms of genes. Each gene responsible for a certain trait has two alleles. One allele is inherited from a mother and another allele is inherited from a father.
Q9. The answer is: False!
Genotype is the actual gene makeup. On the other hand, phenotype is physical appearance of a genotype. So, genotype is the sum of all genes of an organism. Phenotype is observable characteristic of an organism and it is determined by genotype, but also by environmental factors.
Q10. The answer is: False!
A child having blonde hair is an example of phenotype. Genotype is the sum of all genes of an organism. If we talk about all genes responsible for the blonde hair, we would talk about genotype. But, here is an example of observable physical characteristic, such is the blond hair, so it is an example of phenotype.
Q12. The answer is: genotype.
Genotype is the sum of all genes of an organism. Phenotype is observable characteristic of an organism determined by its genotype. In this question, Rr represents genotype of the organism. On the other hand, the capability of rolling their tongue would be phenotype.
Q13. The answer is: heterozygous.
If an organism has two dominant alleles found together, it is dominant homozygous. The genetic combination is labelled with two capital letters: CC.
If an organism has two recessive alleles found together, it is dominant homozygous. The genetic combination is labelled with two small letters: cc.
If an organism has one dominant and one recessive allele, it is heterozygous. The genetic combination is labelled with one capital and one small letter: Cc.
Q14. The answer is: homozygous dominant
Dominant alleles are labelled with capital letters (for example, C). Recessive alleles are labelled with small letters (for example, c). Homozygous dominant organism has combination CC. Homozygous recessive organism has combination cc. Heterozygous organism has combination Cc.
Q15. The answer is: Homozygous recessive.
The genetic combination cc is an example of homozygous recessive. If the genetic combination was CC, it would be homozygous dominant. If the genetic combination was Cc, it would be heterozygous. This is because only dominant alleles are labelled with capital letters.
