antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The characteristic that differentiates the cell membrane from a plastic bag is that the membrane is permeable to the passage of substances.

Explanation:

Cell membrane covers the cell and is predominantly formed by a double layer of lipids, which gives it the main characteristic of behaving as a semi-permeable membrane. This indicates that the membrane allows the entry of some substances and prevents the entry of others.

<u>Unlike the cell membrane, a plastic bag is impermeable, preventing the passage of water or any other substance</u>.

Two short-haired guinea pigs are mated several times. Out of 100 offspring, 25 of them have long hair. What are the probable gen
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Ss (male) × Ss (female)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. Based on the information in this question, the allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that a guinea pig will only be phenotypically long-haired if the genotype is "ss".

According to this question, Two short-haired guinea pigs are mated several times. Out of the 100 offsprings produced by this cross, 25 of them have long hair (recessive). This means that the phenotypic ratio of this cross is 3 short hair : 1 long hair i.e. 100 - 25 = 75 short hair. 75/25 = 3/1 = 3:1

To produce this phenotypic ratio, the parents must both be heterozygous (Ss) for the hair length gene.
