3. materials are able to move across a cell membrane through one of two methods: active transport or passive transport. what is the difference between the two?
1points
a
active transport requires the cell to form vesicles, while passive transport requires the use of membrane pumps.
b
active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not.
c
active transport is the only form of transport that requires the use of protein carriers.
d
passive transport is the only form of transport that requires the use of protein carriers.
4. a trait in cows is determined by two alleles of a single gene: allele r is dominant, and allele r is recessive. what is the probability of the dominant trait being expressed in the offspring of a cross between one rr parent and one rr parent?

5. overuse of antibiotics has caused antibiotic resistance in some bacteria in a population. which statement describes the most likely impact of natural selection on the bacterial population?
1points
a
beneficial mutations have decreased, resulting in a larger population than normal.
b
only the genes for antibiotic resistance are now expressed, eliminating other genes.
c
more antibiotic-resistant bacteria have survived, resulting in more offspring with this trait.
d
the bacteria have become genetically isolated, resulting in decreased reproductive rates.
