Answer:

The correct answers are described in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

The function of the structures in the cell membrane are as follows:

a) phospholipid bilayer: comprised of fatty acids and alcohol, the phospholipid bilayer acts as a hydrophobic barrier to avoid the uncontrolled transport of molecules and ions.

b) peripheral protein: they are proteins present in the external surface of the cell membrane. This proteins form temporary bonds between the cells and other molecules, attaching and detaching at specific times.

c) integral protein: this proteins have one part of its structure in the surface and other part within the cell membrane. They have different roles, including: receptors, transporters, linkers, channels, among others.

d) glycolipid & glycoprotein: proteins that have carbohydrate-bearing portions  in its extracellular environment. They maintain the stability of the cell membrane and facilitate cellular recognition.

e) cholesterol: cholesterol structure helps to the packing of the phospholipids, which restricts the passage of the molecules.

List the eight categories of biological classification of organisms from the most general category to the most specific.
NARA [144]

Answer:

Classification of biological organisms from most general to most specific is -

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

Explanation:

A hierarchy system of taxa or ranks of living organisms up to species level is known as taxonomic classification. It includes a higher and most generalized rank domain consist of archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. Second most generalized ranks kingdom that consist of various kingdoms.

Less generalized ranks are in order of a decrease in general and an increase in specificity are phylum, class, order, and family and the most specific ranks are genus and species.

If a homozygous black bull is mated with a homozygous white cow and the calf is gray, this would be an example of ________. howe
I am Lyosha [343]

The first statement above is an example of incomplete dominance. If the calf has black and white spots then that’s an example of codominance.

 

Incomplete dominance is a form of transitional inheritance in which one allele for an explicit trait is not entirely expressed over its paired allele. This effects in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a mixture of the phenotypes of both alleles.

 

Codominance<span> is a form of dominance by which the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are wholly expressed. This effects in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant or recessive. A usual example showing this type of dominance is the ABO blood group system.</span>
