Luba_88 [7]

Since you forgot to put capital letters i assume it's like this:

1)A Cross between YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) and yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits).

 2)offspring YyLl: 400, Yyll: 100, yyLl: 100 and yyll: 400

The recombinant offspring are allele combinations that are not directly inherited from the parents.
The parents combinations:YyLl and yyll,
The recombinant combinations: Yyll and yyLl
The other types are exacly like the parents so they are not recombinant.

answer: Yyll and yyLl

What is embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that helps in the movement of larger molecules ?

gladu [14]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Channel/Transport \ proteins}}$

Explanation:

The phospholipid bilayer is also known as the cell membrane. It covers cells and regulates the transport of substances. Certain ones can pass and others cannot, depending on certain factors like size and polarity.

Smaller substances tend to diffuse or move across the membrane quite easily. However, larger molecules have a much harder time. Many depend on special proteins embedded in the membrane. These are called transport proteins and they form a channel so large molecules can still move in or out of the cell.

So, salt, water, and fats do not contribute to the movement of larger molecules, but channel or transport proteins do and choice A is correct.
