Which type of junction prevents transmembrane proteins in the apical part of the plasma membrane from diffusing into the basolateral part of the plasma membrane?

The correct answer will be- Tight junction

Explanation:

The cell membrane contains faces two sides: the faces the lumen of the cell is called the apical membrane while the side which faces the basal side and lateral side is known as a basolateral membrane.

The junctions are present in the layer of cells which allows the physical binding of the cell and also allows the communication between the cells.

Tight junctions are one of the types of junction which helps maintain the polarity of the cell by preventing the diffusion of the integral membrane proteins between the apical side to the basolateral side. This maintains the specialised function of the membrane-like endocytosis in apical membrane while exocytosis at the basal membrane.

Thus, Tight junction is the correct answer.
