Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "The gametes must be kept wet to avoid desiccation".
Explanation:
External fertilization is an adaption were species reproduce sexually, but there is no direct contact between the female and the male species, because the egg is fertilized outside the female's body. This adaptation occurs more often in aquatic animals because the gametes must be kept wet to avoid desiccation and allow fertilization, which occurs much more easily on aquatic environments.
Answer:
Estradiol has a higher partition coefficient than H+ ions
Explanation
Estradiol is a non-polar and hydrophobic molecule that has a higher partition coefficient than H+ ions, it means that the cell membrane is more permeable to this molecule because it can dissolve in and diffuse within the hydrophobic phase of the membrane. The movement of polar charged molecules (even small H+ ions) requires the input of energy to be able to dissolve within the lipid bilayer. In consequence, the movement of H+ ions requires proteins capable of transporting these protons through the membrane.
It provides coding for this complementary DNA strand:
TACTTTCGGATACGTGGT
KEY: adenine goes with thymine (thymine with adenine)
cytosine goes with guanine (guanine with cytosine)
It is completely normal to get results that do not support the hypothesis.
If a scientist encounters this, he/she should refine (change) the hypothesis and perform the experiment again.
Hope this helps!
