Cellular membranes are self-sealing— if they are punctured or disrupted mechanically, they quickly and automatically reseal. What properties of membranes are responsible for this important feature?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. The hydrophilic interactions among membrane lipids are noncovalent and reversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.
  2. The hydrophobic interactions among membrane lipids are noncovalent and
    reversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.
  3. The hydrophobic interactions between membrane lipids and cholesterol are noncovalent and reversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.
  4. The hydrophobic interactions among membrane lipids are covalent and irreversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. What is the probability that a child will be albino if: Both parents are members of Generation 2, and one parent is albino and the other is non-albino.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. In the next generation of 1 million individuals (Generation 2), what are the expected numbers of aa albinos and Aa carriers? (Assume random mating and all other HardyWeinberg conditions.)
