Answer: The answer is that have to bind to receptors to cross the membrane.

Explanation:

A hydrophilic substance can easily dissolve or absorbed in a water containing vessel, not a fat or lipid vessel like biological membranes.

Now, protein-based hormones like dopamine or serotonin ARE NOT LIPID-SOLUBLE; so, have to bind to receptors positioned in the membrane and MAY also require energy in form of ATP for across the membrane before they would exert their function on the target cell or organelles.

Compare and contrast the two new cells formed in mitosis and cell division

Makovka662 [10]

The parent cell is also making a copy of its DNA to share equally between the two daughter cells. The mitosis division process has several steps or phases of the cell cycle—interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis—to successfully make the new diploid cells

define amphibian ?

Amphibians are four-limbed, ectothermic animals that belong to the class Amphibia. The phylum Lissamphibia includes every extant amphibian. They live in a broad range of habitats, with the majority of species being found in freshwater aquatic, terrestrial, fossorial, or arboreal settings. Therefore, amphibians normally begin their lives as aquatic larvae, but certain species have evolved behavioural adaptations to get around this.

The young typically transition from a larval stage with gills to an adult form with lungs. Some tiny terrestrial salamanders and frogs rely solely on their skin for respiration, whereas amphibians use their skin as a supplementary respiratory surface. Although they resemble lizards on the surface, reptiles, like mammals and birds, are amniotes and do not need bodies of water to survive.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes

Eduardwww [97]

Answer and Explanation:

The gene that expresses the size of the wing is X-linked. The dominant allele expresses long wings, XM, while the recessive allele expresses miniature wings, Xm.

The gene that expresses the color of the eyes is autosomal. The dominant allele expresses red color, S, and the recessive allele expresses sepia color, s.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes (XmXm ss) is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes (XMY SS).

The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.

F2) 8/16=4/8=1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

Females (8/16):

3/8 of the females are long-winged and red-eyed, XMX- S-

1/8 of the females are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMX- ss

3/8 of the females are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmXm S-

1/8 of the females are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmXm ss

Males (8/16):

3/8 of the males are long-winged and red-eyed, XMY S-

1/8 of the males are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMY ss

3/8 of the males are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmY S-

1/8 of the males are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmY ss

Note: The symbol "-" means that in its place might be a recessive allele or a dominant allele. For example, S- means that it might be SS or Ss.
