Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether it is possible for a boy-girl pair of twins to be genetically identical.

Introduction:

The process of meiosis produces four genetically different haploid nuclei. This process produces egg cells in females and sperms in males. When the egg and sperm unite at fertilization, zygote forms. When mitosis follows, each daughter cell contains the same genetic material as the zygote. If an early embryo splits just a few hours or days after fertilization and the resulting split is complete, then it results in the formation of identical twins. If the split is incomplete, then conjoined twins develop.

Biology Question
✓ Details Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.
drawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked. Thank you.
