Answer:

(B) Abortion, abandonment, and infanticide of males occur regularly.

Explanation:

China's one child policy was formed in 1979 with the aim to curb the increasing population of the country. Considered world's one of the most controversial methods to control population, it permitted couples to have only one child. As the traditional Chinese society preferred male child over female child, one child policy especially hit a blow to female population. Parents started to abort or abandon females because they wanted to have a male child and government did not allow a second child.

This move created a huge imbalance in sex ratio. Number of males increased drastically with respect to number of women. Males were not aborted and did not face abandonment as they were highly valued in society. The program was relaxed in 2013 and allowed rural couples and ethnic minorities to have 2 children and it was finally scraped off in 2015.

Regarding plasma membranes, which of the following statements is false?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Regarding plasma membranes, which of the following statements is false, would be, B: The thickness of the plasma membrane is only about 1 nm.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is the structure of the cell that provides a protective barrier, between a cell´s intracellular environment and the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, aside from providing structural support, and protection, a cell´s membrane also serves as a communication media between the cells, and between a cell and all other elements outside of it. This membrance is formed by a phospholipid bilayer, with a space in between the two layers where the tail ends meet and it also has in its structure cholesterol and other lipids that allow the membrane to be fluid, but also structurally strong. However, what is not true is the thickness, as it is known that plasma membranes´ thickness actually lies between 7.5 to 10 nm, and not merely 1 nm. This is why the answer is B.
