Contains the information for making proteins in the cells and ensures that the information is passed to new cells and new offspring. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What are proteins?</h3>

Proteins are big, complex molecules that play a number of important tasks in the human body. They are essential for the structure, function, and control of the body's tissues and organs, and they do the majority of their job in cells.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that conveys genetic information for an organism's development and function. DNA is made up of two connected strands that loop around each other like a twisted ladder, giving it the shape of a double helix. The backbone of each strand is made up of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups that alternate. Each sugar has one of four bases attached to it: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or thymine (T).

One method for separating polypeptides makes use of their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in water
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The solubility of any substance in water depends on its polarity. The polar molecule dissolves more easily in the water than the non polar molecule. Amino acids have different polarity at different pH.

(a) (Lys-Ala)3 : The (Lys-Ala)3 contain more positive charge and highly polar the at pH 7 as compared with the  (Gly)20 that remains uncharged and has less polarity.

(b) (Glu)20 :This amino acids negatively charged at pH 7 and highly polar than the (Phe-Met)3 which is non polar or less polar and hence least soluble  in water.

(c) (Asn-Ser-His)5 is highly polar at pH 3 as compared with the (Ala-Asp-Gly)5 that contains the carboxylate groups of Asp residues that are partially neutral. The  (Asn-Ser-His)5 contains = the imidazole groups of His residues are fully polar and soluble in water.

(d) (Asn-Ser-His)5 is polar at pH 6.0 because both have polar side chains Ser but (Asn-Ser-His)5 is only partially partially protonated due to the His side chains. Thus,  (Asn-Ser-His)5 is more soluble in water.

Why do sexually reproducing organisms need gametes? Why don’t asexually reproducing organisms need them?
Nana76 [90]
Gametes are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. Sexual reproduction needs zygotes to reproduce that is why gametes are needed. Asexual reproduction doesn’t need gametes because there is only one parent and there is no fusion of gametes.

Before mitosis begins, what happens during S-phase?
Blababa [14]
A
Before meiosis begins, during S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA of each chromosome is replicated so that it consists of two identical sister chromatids, which remain held together through sister chromatid cohesion. This S-phase can be referred to as "premeiotic S-phase" or "meiotic S-phase".
