The head of a phospolipid interacts with water because it is

Biology
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A single phospholipid molecule has a phosphate group on one end, called the “head,” and two side-by-side chains of fatty acids that make up the lipid “tails. ” The phosphate group is negatively charged, making the head polar and hydrophilic, or “water loving.” The phosphate heads are thus attracted to the water .

The evolutionary effects of genetic drift are greatest when _____. see concept 23.3 (page 492)
Tamiku [17]
The evolutionary effects of the genetic drift are the greatest when the population is small.
In small populations, genetic drift can significantly change the frequencies of the alleles and affect the genetic structure of the population. In big populations, the effects of the genetic drift are small and insignificant.

Which of the following statements is true?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The true statement is: "Spring tides are the highest, while neap tides are the lowest."

Explanation:

  • The range of difference in the level of water between high and low tide is always larger in spring tide.
  • Neap tides are the moderate tides. It does not have huge difference in higher and low tides because the bulging of the ocean ( by the sun)  balances the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon.
  • This balance is not found in spring tides that is the main reason for spring tides to have the highest level for both higher and lower tides.

Define the following terms. Drag and drop the words into the appropriate blanks to complete the sentences.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1. replication

2. gene

3. strand polarity

4. translation

5. complementary base pairing

6. chromosome

7. antiparallel

8. transcription

9. allele

Explanation:

1. Replication is the process by which DNA is duplicated or the process of making another copy of DNA.

2. Gene is the physical unit of heredity i.e a segment of DNA transferred from parents to offsprings. A gene also encodes a useful products such as protein.

3. A DNA strand is a polar molecule, which is attributed to the phosphate group at the 5'-end of DNA and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA.

4. Translation is the process whereby the information in a mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a protein.

5. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby Adenine (A) binds to thymine (T), guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C).

6. A chromosome contains of single long molecule of DNA coiled together around histone proteins. The chromosome is associated with different types of proteins.

7. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, one strand runs from 5' to 3' and the other runs from 3' to 5'. This is called ANTIPARALLEL nature of DNA.

8. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA single strand.

9. Allele is the alternative or contrasting form of a gene. Each allele is contributed by each parent
