Composition of the Cell Membrane & Functions

The cell membrane is also called the _______________ membrane and is made
of a phospholipid _____________. The phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water
attracting) __________ and two hydrophobic (water repelling) ____________. The
head of a phospholipid is made of an alcohol and glycerol group, while the tails are
chains of ____________. Phospholipids can move _______________ and allow water
to pass through into or out of the cell. This is known as simple ____________
because it does not require __________ and the water or molecules are moving
__________ the concentration gradient.

Choose one question to answer. Explain using Mendelian concepts and Punnett
square.

1. In cats, long hair is recessive to short hair. A true-breeding (homozygous) short-

haired male is mated to a long-haired female. What will their kittens look like?

2. Mr. And Mrs. Duterte both have widow’s peaks (dominant). Their first child also has
a widow’s peak, but their second child doesn’t. Mr. Duterte accuses Mrs. Duterte of
being unfaithful to him. Is he necessarily justified? Why or why not?

3. Mr. and Mrs. Robredo have six children. Three of them have attached earlobes
(recessive) like their father, and the other three have free earlobes like their mother.
What are the genotypes of Mr. and Mrs. Duterte and of their numerous offspring?
