Amino acids are acids on one hand, and a base on the other hand.

<h3>What is an acid?</h3>

An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen or hydroxonium ions as the only positively charged ion when it ionizes.

All amino acids have an amine group -NH_2 and a carboxylic group -COOH.

The carboxylic group ionizes such that:

COOH -- > COO^- + H^+

The presence of the amine group enables amino acids to also act as a base.

The number of major histocompatibility (MHC) protein combinations possible in a given population is enormous. However, an indivi
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".

Explanation:

In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.

which of the following is not an example of a trait a)eye color b)ear shape c) species d) body height​
Dmitry [639]
Eye color and ear shape are inherited.
Body height is mainly inherited/ influenced.
Species cannot be changed? So my guess is that C. Is the correct answer as it is not a inherited trait.
If that is wrong, then the answer is D. Because I would think body height is influenced by the two parents.

Why does a frameshift mutation usually cause more effects during protien sythesis than a point mutation
Levart [38]

Frameshift mutation affects codons downstream the point of mutation. The previous order of 3 nucleotide- sequences (codons) is consequently changed. This, therefore, changes the protein coded by the mRNA transcribed by the mutated DNA region. Frameshifts are mostly due to insertion or deletion mutations.
