Answer:

The correct answer is ''proteins.''

Explanation:

Transport phenomena are essential in living beings, either to carry a hydrophobic molecule through an aqueous medium (transport of oxygen or lipids through the blood) or to transport polar molecules through hydrophobic barriers (transport through the cell membrane). Biological transporters are always proteins. Proteins are capable of carrying out specific functions such as the selective transport of molecules, or certain enzymatic reactions, among others. Membrane proteins can be peripheral or partially or totally integrated into the membrane, being, generally, globular or fibrous. Its activity is essential for the maintenance of transmembrane gradients. Thanks to membrane proteins, the exchange of molecules such as nutrients or waste products takes place, as well as the reception of external signals. Among its functions are channel-forming: Integral proteins arranged in the membrane in such a way that they give rise to the formation of a pore or channel, usually hydrophilic. These pores or channels allow the entry and exit of certain substances from the cell.

Obligate carriers, or obligate heterozygotes, are those individuals that may be unaffected clinically, but must possess a copy of the mutant gene. For autosomal recessive conditions, obligate carriers can be the offspring of a parental mating of two carriers (50% of offspring will also be carriers).

Which phrase best describes a process represented in the diagram below fertilizated egg and multicelluar organism?
yulyashka [42]
The phrase that best describes the process represented in the diagram is a zygote dividing by mitosis.
The fertilization (fusion) of an egg by a sperm cell produces a single cell which is call zygote. After the fertilization of an egg, the zygote starts a sequence of cell division called cleavage. During this process, the zygote divides into two identical cells through the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the term referring to the duplication of the genetic material and the division of a cell into two identical cells.
