Answer:

1/65,536 = 0.001523 %

Explanation:

A: normal allele

a: recessive allele causing PKU

The probability that Rosie and Ross have one child with PKU will be >>  

Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA; 1/2 Aa; 1/4 aa

In consequence, the probability that Rosie and Ross have eight children with PKU will be >>  

(1/4)⁸ = 1/65,536 = 0.001523 %

Answer:

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, which controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell by passive and active transport.

Explanation:

According to this question, animal cells are made up of the following contents: 90% water and 10% protein, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, lipids and other molecules. The cell regulates this internal composition in a stable way via a process called HOMEOSTASIS.

The animal cell is able to regulate or maintain a stable internal composition by the possession of a selective permeable membrane called CELL MEMBRANE. The cell membrane is semi-permeable in the sense that it allows the entry of some molecules into and out of the cell and blocks others.

Some molecules are allowed by the cell membrane without the need for energy input in a transport called PASSIVE TRANSPORT while some requires energy input in a transport called ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

Answer:

16) 6 electrons

17) 6 protons

18) 6 neutrons

19) 4 electrons

20) 6

Explanation:

There are 6 electrons on the rings in total and 6 protons inside the nucleus. If you count the black cir les, there are 6 of them so there are 6 neutrons. Knowing that the inner ring can only hold 2 electrons the most, 6-2= 4. So there are 4 electrons on the outer ring. Knowing that you can get the atomic number based on the number of protons an atom have, the at pool mic number would be 6.

frez [133]

<u>Answer:</u>

The most appropriate answer option is: D) Saprophytes return organic material to the soil for use by living organisms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A saprophyte, also known as a saprobe or saprotroph, is an organism (fungi) which feeds and grows on decomposing organisms. We also know that it secrete enzymes that digest components of cell walls, such as cellulose and lignin.

Saprophyte is an important part of the biogeochemical cycle as it decomposes the bodies of the dead organisms, recycles them and releases nutrients into the soil to be used by the living organisms.
