Why does it make more sense for the hydrophilic sugar-phosphates to be on the outside of the DNA molecule and the hydrophobic ni

trogenous bases on the inside? What other cellular structure do you know of that has a similar orientation?

The answer is in the question if you think about the meaning...but here is my input.

Since the lipids/sugar phosphates are hydrophilic, it would want to stay away from water. The opposite is for the hydrophobic nitrogenous bases. This way, the components of the DNA molecule won't be soluble in water, which the cell is mostly made out of. This similar structure can be found in a vesicle or cell-membrane.

C) As hydrilla is aquatic in nature, the roots do not have to search for water, and there is no need for xylem to absorb water because the plant is surrounded by water.

In which blood vessels does the exchange of gases take place?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: CAPILLARIES

Explanation: Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the blood stream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the blood stream to the lungs. It occurs in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessel is called capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.

In flies dumpy wings and ebony bodies are each mutations recessive to wild type, and you expect them to behave in a Mendelian fa
Dimas [21]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

Assuming that D (d) represents the allele for wing type and E (e) represents the allele for body type, crossing DdEe with DdEe will yield the following offspring according to the Punnet's square (see the attached image):

(a) <em>9/16 D_E_  wild type </em>

<em>     3/16 D_ee  wild wing, ebony body</em>

<em>     3/16 ddE_ dumpy wing, wild body</em>

<em>     1/16 ddee dumpy wing, ebony body</em>

(b) Chi square X^2 = \frac{(O - E)^2}{E}, where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

Phenotype                O                  E                                           X^2

Wild type                 473          9/16 x 830 =  466.875     \frac{(473 - 466.875)^2}{466.875} = 0.08

wild w/ebony b      156          3/16 x 830 = 155.625       \frac{(156 - 155.625)^2}{155.625} =  0.0009

Dumpy w/wild b     149          3/16 x 830 = 155.625      \frac{(149 - 155.625)^2}{155.625} = 0.28

dumpy w/ebony b  52            1/16 x 830 = 51.875        \frac{(52 - 51.875)^2}{51.875} = 0.0003

Total X^2 = 0.3612

Degree of freedom = 4 - 1 = 3

Tabulated value of X^2 (0.05)= 7.815

(c) <em>Since the calculated Chi square value is less than the tabulated value, we conclude that the observed outcome agrees with the expected outcome and that the cross followed the standard Mendelian pattern.</em>
