Answer:

The text is explaining a cell membrane.

Explanation:

A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer that acts as a kind of "skin" for the cell. The membrane helps the cell maintain homeostasis and filter out harmful particles. Elements like oxygen are allowed to pass through via protein channels, which act as gates. Does this answer your question?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is the more likely explanation, as there must be a limit to leg length in an animal that has to run very fast and strain their muscles and bones to the limit to do so.

As for the other options, there is no evidence to conclude that the genes that are involved in cheetahs leg length do not undergo mutation because the population exhibits a variety of leg lengths. Neither can we conclude that there are any isolated subgroups in the pupulation. Natural selection does act upon the traits involved in predation, as the question starts by saying that the faster a cheetah can run the more likely it is to capture its prey.

A husband and wife both have cleft chins, and when you look at their four children, three also have cleft chins; however, one do
Reptile [31]

Answer:

B- A cleft chin is due to a dominant allele

Explanation:

A husband and wife both having the phenotype for cleft chin and producing an offspring without a cleft chin, indicates heterozygousity in their genotype.

With the heterozygous genotype however, they both expressed the phenotype for cleft chin, indicating that the allele for cleft chin is dominant over the allele coding for normal chin.

Since both parents are heterozygous for cleft lip, the  sequence of genotype in their offspring will be:

  • 25% chance of having homozygous cleft chin
  • 50% chance of having heterozygous cleft chin
  • 25% chance of having homozygous normal chin

Because of the dominance of the cleft chin allele, both homozygous and heterozygous forms of the cleft chin allele, will be expressed in the offspring and only the offspring homozygous for normal chin will not express this allele.
