Explanation:
<u>Reducing sugars are simple sugars with the ability to reduce copper (II) ions to copper (I). All monosaccharides (fructose, glucose, galactose) are reducing sugars as are some disaccharides, such as lactose and maltose. Simple sugars are all carbohydrates, and are used by the body as a source of energy.</u>
Answer: B (Color blindness)
Explanation:
Typical red-green color blindness in human patients is caused by mutations on genes located in the X chromosome. These mutations act in a recessive manner. Since females have two X chromosomes, the presence of a mutation in a single one of them does not normally result in color blindness. Males, in contrast, have a single X chromosome and therefore the presence of a mutation is likely to cause the disease.
About the other options: Down‘s syndrome is a numerical chromosomal anomaly, not related to sex. Human blood type is a codominant trait. Finally, tail length in dogs is a polygenic trait not amenable to classic Mendelian analysis.
Studying cells helps us to construct better medicines and vaccines, which is beneficial to understanding life.
By controlling what enters and leaves a cell, the cell membrane A) aids in maintaining homeostasis within the cell. Homeostasis is the process by which organisms maintain life through eating, growing, and living in variable conditions. It would not make sense to answer B) because organisms do not control the homeostasis of their external environment. D) also would not be correct because cell's do not control osmosis in the external environment. The membrane does not control osmosis because osmosis is generally a random process of molecular diffusion whereas the membrane acts in a conscious and controlled way.
