Simple diffusion is the movement of molecules through a cell membrane, whilst facilitated diffusion is the movement of molecules through channels formed by the integral membrane protein.

Answer:

transport of substances across a biological membrane through a concentration gradient

Explanation:

if im wrong im deeply sorry, im not good at this but ill find an internet explination>

<h2>Main Difference – Simple Diffusion vs Facilitated Diffusion </h2><h2>Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are two types of passive transport methods in which the cell membrane transports molecules across it. It uses natural entropy to move molecules from higher concentration to a lower concentration until the concentration becomes equalized. Hence, no ATP energy is used for the transportation of molecules. There are four main types of passive transport: osmosis, simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion and filtration. The main difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that simple diffusion is an unassisted type of diffusion in which a particle moves from higher to a lower concentration across a membrane whereas facilitated diffusion is the transport of substances across a biological membrane through a concentration gradient by means of a carrier molecule.</h2>

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.

Explanation:

Most people believe that a rare allele would only be recessive. But this is not correct. A rare allele can be dominant. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population will depend on the environmental factors. The alleles which code for traits that are best suitable for living in an environment will be seen in more abundance. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population also depends on the breeding trends of the population.

Chromosomes only exist inside gametes true or false
netineya [11]

The male human has a sperm cell and the female has an egg cell. The cells from the male and female that combine to form a zygote are called gametes. The human sperm and egg cells each contain 23 chromosomes. . A combination of gametes forms a zygote with 46 chromosomes. The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and ovaries.<span>Chromosomes get shuffled when eggs and sperm are made. Though most adult cells contain two sets of chromosomes, sperm and egg cells are different. These special cells have just one chromosome from each pair. Which chromosome they get from each pair is random, making each sperm or egg cell unique. There is also a bit of mixing before the chromosomes are sorted into individual sperm or egg cells. Chromosomes from each pair in a mother or father, respectively, make contact and exchange pieces of DNA, creating hybrid chromosomes. </span>

Which is a malignant disorder of mature antibody-secreting B lymphocytes or plasma cells? Multiple myeloma Hairy cell leukemia A
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The correct answer is Multiple myeloma.

Explanation:

Multiple myeloma is a type of bone marrow cancer caused by a malignant degeneration of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are part of the immune or immune system, responsible for dealing with infections and diseases of external origin. Plasma cells are normally found in the bone marrow, mixed with other cells of the immune system and with the cell-producing cells of the blood. When there is an infection, the B lymphocytes respond, become plasma cells or plasma cells and produce antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) that help the body fight infection. T lymphocytes respond with various transformations that allow them to directly attack infectious agents or help other types of cells defend the body.
