Answer:
Lipid molecules
Explanation:
The molecules that prevent cell membranes from dissolving are called lipid molecules most abundantly known as phospholipids.
Answer:
16/64 = 1/4
Explanation:
This is a typical trihybrid cross involving three genes T, P and Y. A plant with genotype TTPpYy is crossed with a plant recessive for all traits (ttppyy).
According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, each allele for each gene will get sorted into the following 8 gametes with only 4 different: TPY, TPy, TpY, Tpy, TPY, TPy, TpY and Tpy.
The recessive parent, ttppyy will produce tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy and tpy.
Hence, using a punnet square, 64 offsprings will be produced with only 16 of them heterozygous dominant for the three traits with genotype (TtPpYy). Hence, proportion is 16/64 equivalent to 1/4.
Very powerful microscopes were needed before cells could be observed in detail
