Which of the following processes might produce a human zygote with 45 chromosomes?A)a non-disjunction in meiotic anaphase occurr
pogonyaev

A non-disjunction in meiotic anaphase occurring in either an egg or sperm might produce a human zygote with 45 chromosomes. A condition in which human contain 45 chromosomes instead of 46 chromosomes is called aneuploidy or abnormal chromosome number.

<h3>What is aneuploidy?</h3>

The occurrence of one or more extra or missing chromosomes leading to an unbalanced chromosome complement, or any chromosome number that is not an exact multiple of the haploid number (23).                                                                                           It is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, for example a human cell having 45 or 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46.                                                                                                                  An extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of some genetic disorders.                                                                                                       The most common cause of aneuploidy happens during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly between the two cells.

All the following rely on ATP as a source of energy except
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy carrying molecule in the system of living organisms. It posseses the ability to store and release energy for use by organisms during biochemical activities. However, some processes do not require ATP to occur and are called PASSIVE TRANSPORT while those that require energy (ATP) are called ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

In the above options, the processes listed as follows require ATP to occur:

- The active transport of glucose from the small intestine to the blood

- The movement of the flagella of sperm for motility

- Exocytosis of waste substances across a semi-permeable membrane

However, the diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes, which is a passive transport does not require ATP.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The answer (Image 1) is attached. Since the options weren't provided, I've attached the image of the options, too.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids, a special form of lipids with a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. According to the fluid mosaic model, the hydrophilic heads are positioned towards the outside where they freely interact with the extracellular matrix and cytosol. Whereas, the hydrophobic tails are positioned towards the inside so they aren't exposed to water.

Liposomes are lipid bases particles used for drug and vector delivery. The picture shows a typical liposome.

In the current case, for water to move both outside and inside, hydrophilic heads should be present inside as well as outside the tails.
