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.

A checkered hen mates with a checkered rooster. The genes for the checkered trait are codominant in both parents. What are the c
seropon [69]

Answer:

Option D, 75%

Explanation:

Let the genotype of co dominant checkered hen mates and checkered rooster be CcC and CcC

Where Cc – is the allele for chekered skin  

C – is the allele for non chekered skin

Co-dominant allele are those which irrespective of being dominant or recessive are expressed equally.  

The punnet square for the cross between these two would be  

Cc C

Cc CcCc CcC

C CCc          CC

3 out of 4 offsprings have chekered allele i.e CcCc, CcC and CcC. Thus, the probability of chekered offsprings would be 75%

Joints in which the bones are closely fitted are: a) strong joints with restricted movement. b) strong and free-moving joints. c
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

<u>a) strong joints with restricted movement.</u>

Explanation:

Joints which are closely fitted cannot allow free movement because movement requires space in the joint so the bones can move in this space. So a closely fitted joint allow restricted or no movement at all. Weak joints with restricted movements are called weak because they are not well fitted closely. Strong joints with restricted movement is closely fitted, one of the example is joints of skull.

Why do some cells divide faster than others and some cells do not divide after they are formed? Into which group does cancer fit
Nuetrik [128]

Skin cells, divide in a continuous manner that makes new skin cells to replace the skin cells we lost. Cells regulate their division by cyclins. Some cells divide faster when it supposed to stop dividing and this will lead to cancer disease.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process of cell division occurs for many reasons. A single cell is divided into two which in turn they will be divided into four and so on. This corresponds to the process of cell division and cell reproduction. Cell division is  an unique characteristics in human beings. Interactions between signaling proteins produces checkpoints in the cell cycle to ensure that cells do not divide at improper times.

A protein named Cyclins plays a major role in the determination and the regulation of the cell division process. The division that occurs in the cell can be regulated by the this protein type. They acts as a switch for controlling the cell division process. They will signal the cells when to divide and when to stop. When any cell continues to divided even after it is signaled to stop they may lead to a disease called cancer.   These are different form the normal cells because they will be having their own growth factors that controls their growth and they will lose the normal controls on the cell cycle.
