Answer:

An inversion

Explanation:

An inversion occurs when a chromosome breaks in two places; the resulting piece of DNA is reversed and re-inserted into the chromosome. Genetic material may or may not be lost as a result of the chromosome breaks.

Which of the following best describes an aspect of a membrane's molecular structure that causes it to be selectively permeable?
atroni [7]

Answer:

<u>d. Transport proteins within the membrane serve as a tunnel for molecules to enter the cell. </u>

<u />

Explanation:

Solutes are typically moved across the cell through either passive or active transport. The cells, surrounded by a bilipid layer or plasma membrane is amphiphlic- its polar, hydrophilic lipid heads face outwards, while their non-polar hydrophobic lipid tails face inwards towards each other.

While lipid-soluble molecules move across the layer easily, it is also difficult for charged and also large molecules to move across its surface, into the cell. Transmembrane channels, <u>embedded within the membrane</u>, help to maintain selective permeability as transport proteins, pores and gated channels. Simple diffusion happens as a method of passive transport in cells through plasma membranes.

The solutes travel through the plasma membrane in the process of diffusion from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration; this occurs without the use of energy. <u>Molecules moving against their concentration require active transport mechanism to cross the membrane</u>.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

This is how cells gene regulation occur.

Explanation:

Regulation of gene expression is  very very important thing to maintain the normal levels of all body proteins according to our body"s requirement.

            During positive gene regulation enzymes of various metabolic pathways of the target cell is being activated,thus supplying the cellular need of various metabolites and proteins.

             During negative regulation various enzymes are  turned off thus blocking the formation of metabolites or proteins not required by the cell.
