The  altered  protein  affected  the  function   of  the  cell  membrane. The   cell  membrane which  contain  a  bilayer control  the  movement  of  substance   in  and  out  of  the  cell and organelles.  Due   to  this  it  is  selective  permeable  to ion  and  organic  molecules.

The right answer is chloride transport in cell membrane.

Cystic fibrosis is genetically translated by a mutation in the CFTR gene.

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a chloride channel regulated by cAMP (cyclic Adenosine MonoPhosphate). This low-conductance channel is a regulator of other channels, particularly sodium channels such as the ENaC channel (Epithelial Na Channel) or the Outwardly Rectifying Chloride Channel (ORCC).

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Answer:

B. physical anonymity.

Explanation:

Anonymity can be explained in psychological research as a situation whereby the data collected from participants is confidential and cannot be traced to any particular individual.

Deindividuation is known to be a phenomenon in which people engage in seemingly impulsive and sometimes violent acts in situations in which they believe they cannot be personally identified.

In this case, people that are not physically present tend to be more hostile or engaged in some cruel act. This is because they know they can be seen face-to-face, and people will not know that they are the perpetrator of the act.
