Selective permeability membrane is the membrane that allows certain organisms to come in and out of the cell.
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is: <em><u> It means it is a membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by means of active or passive transport. </u></em>

Explanation:

All cells are enclosed with a cell membrane. The term, <u>selectively permeable</u>, refers to :

the membrane allows some substances or molecules to enter the cells, and others to be prevented from entering. It also allows substances to leave the cell.

This process can be done by :

Active transport -requires the cell to expend energy to move the materials.

Passive transport- it can be done without using cellular energy.

The mutation rate is the probability of a single gene mutating in an offspring bug.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A mutation is any alteration in the genetic sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations in the germline (i.e., gametes) can pass to the next generation, thereby these mutations can increase their frequency in the population if they are beneficial or 'adaptive' for the organism in the environment in which the organism lives (in this case, an insect/bug). The mutation rate can be defined as the probability of mutations in a single gene/<em>locus</em>/organism over time. Mutation rates are highly variable and they depend on the organism/cell that suffers the mutation (e.g., prokaryotic cells are more prone to suffer mutations compared to eukaryotic cells), type of mutations (e.g., point mutations, fragment deletions, etc), type of genetic sequence (e.g., mitochondrial DNA sequences are more prone to suffer mutations compared to nuclear DNA), type of cell (multicellular organisms), stage of development, etc. Thus, the mutation rate is the frequency by which a genetic sequence changes from the wild-type to a 'mutant' variant, which is often indicated as the number of mutations <em>per</em> round of replication, <em>per</em> gamete, <em>per</em> cell division, etc. In a single gene sequence, the mutation rate can be estimated as the number of <em>de novo</em> mutations per nucleotide <em>per</em> generation. For example, in humans, the mutation rate ranges from 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁶ <em>per </em>gene <em>per</em> generation.
