In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain

the proper degree of fluidity. As summer turns to fall and eventually into winter, which of the following would you predict you would observe in the plasma membranes of organisms that are unable to regulate their body temperature?A. an increase in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and an increase in side chain saturationB. a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and an increase in side chain saturationC. a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side chain saturationD. an increase in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side chain saturation

Answer:

C. a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side chain saturation

Explanation:

Temperature is a factor that has a huge impact on cell membrane structure, more precisely its fluidity. So, for example, if temperature increases, the cell membrane becomes more fluid because the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids become less rigid.

Rosa drew a diagram to compare substitution mutations and insertion mutations.
djverab [1.8K]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

\huge\boxed{Option A}

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Mutations:</h2>

Mutations are the changes produced in the nucleotide sequence of the genome.

There are four main types of mutations

Substitution

Insertion

Deletion

Duplication.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>DELETION:</h3>

A small segment of chromosome mat be missing. This condition is known as deletion.

For example, Normal chromosome has A B C D E F G. If deletion mutation occurs then mutated chromosome has A D E F G and B C got deleted.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>DUPLICATION:</h3>

In this condition, a part of chromosome present in exec ess to the normal chromosome.

For example, Normal Chromosome has A B C D E F G. If duplication mutation occurs, then mutated chromosome had A B C B C D E F G and B C is duplicated.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>SUBSTITUTION MUTATION:</h3>

Substitution is a type of mutation where one base pair is replaced by a different base pair.

For example, in the sequence CAAGT, if C replaces G, it is a substitution mutation.

<h3>INSERTION MUTATION:</h3>

In genetics, an insertion is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence.

For example, in the sequence CAAGT, if extra base G gets inserted after C, the new sequence would be CGAAGT.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2>

Both substitution and insertion mutations change the position of nucleotide thus, the type of amino acid.

Determine the median value for foot width for males and for females. Describe in complete sentences the method you used to deter
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the data referred to in the question

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the data referred to in the question is attached below

In order to determine the median value of any set of data, the data is first of all rearranged chronologically (ascending) and then the middle value is picked if the number of data is odd but if the number of data is even, the two middle values are added together and then divided by two to get the median.

From the data provided, the values (which are 10 in number) can be arranged as shown below (with the median values in bold)

Females: 5, 7, 7, 7.5, 7.5, 7.8, 7.8, 8, 8, 17

Males: 4.5, 7.5, 9, 9, 9.2, 9.3, 10, 10, 10.5, 13

Since the number of data is even, the two middle numbers (in bold) shall be added together and then divided to get the median as shown below

The median value for the females foot width is = 7.5 + 7.8/2 = 7.65 cm

The median value for the male foot width is = 9.2 + 9.3/2 = 9.25 cm

How does cladistics help us understand phylogeny?
dangina [55]

Answer: C.) Cladistics is based purely on the shared characters between organisms and their ranking in evolutionary history.

 

Explanation:

Phylogeny is the evolutionary science which derives a relationship among the ancient species with their descendants based upon common genetic, physiological and morphological characteristics. Cladistics represent the study of a group of organisms which exhibit a common ancestor. A clade includes organisms having a common ancestors and exhibit similar traits in them. A clade is sufficient to include the organisms in a phylogenic tree based upon their evolutionary history.
