The plasma membrane (cell membrane) is made of two layers of phospholipids.

The plasma membrane has many proteins embedded in it.

The plasma membrane regulates the entry and exit of the cell. Many molecules cross the cell membrane by diffusion and osmosis.

The fundamental structure of the membrane is phospho lipid bilayer and it forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments.

The proteins present in the plasma membrane, act as pumps, channels, receptors, enzymes or structural components

The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is allotetraploid, likely as a result of an interspecies mating long ago, followed by a
stepladder [879]

Explanation:

Xenopus laevis is allotetraploid: it has 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from one species and 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from another species, making a total of 4 sets of chromosomes. During meiosis, every chromosome has another homologous one with which it can pair, producing viable gametes that have the complete genetic information of the species.

Mules, however, are allodiploid: they have one set of chromosomes from a donkey and another set from a horse, making a total of 2 sets of chromosmes. But those two sets are not homologous, so during meiosis the chromosomes can't pair and the gametes will have errors that make them inviable, making mules sterile

Luteinizing hormone is bound to transport proteins in the plasma. <br> a. True<br> b. False
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Luteinizing hormone, also known as the lutropin, is a heterodimeric glycoprotein produced by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland.

The function of the luteinizing hormone in males is the secretion of the progesterone hormone. Whereas, in females, the acute rise of this hormone triggers ovulation, maintains the corpus luteum and is also responsible for the secretion of progesterone hormone.
