The tightness with which a chemical attaches to a binding site is termed its affinity for that site, while the effectiveness of the binding chemical is termed its efficacy.

Affinity quantifies how well a medication binds to a receptor (or how well it "fits the lock").

The ability of a drug-bound receptor to induce a response (or "turn the key") is referred to as efficacy.

While antagonists only have affinity for the receptors and no (zero) effectiveness, agonists have both affinities and efficacy for the receptor.

Effectiveness governs what transpires after the medication has been attached to the receptor through affinity.

The affinity (potency) and/or efficacy of different medicines that bind to the same receptor and elicit the same type of response will often vary from one another.

Which correctly describes crossing over?
ollegr [7]

The correct option is A ie the process whereby non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material

  • Between prophase I and metaphase I, a process known as crossing over occurs in which two homologous non-sister chromatids join up and exchange various pieces of genetic material to create two recombinant chromosome sister chromatids.
  • When genetic material is switched between two chromosomes, this process is known as crossing over.
  • It is in charge of causing genetic variation among members of a species.
  • Only the reproductive cells known as gametes undergo this process.
  • The steps involved in crossing over are as follows:

1) Synapsis.

2) Chromosome duplication

3) Crossing over.

4) Terminalizataion.

Which statement best explains why correct protein folding is critical in the transmembrane protein shown above?
amid [387]

The statement 'interactions of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids help to anchor the protein in the membrane' explains why protein folding is critical. This process is fundamental for the function of transmembrane proteins.

Protein folding refers to the process by which a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) adopts its final tridimensional 3D shape (conformation).

In a protein, some amino acids contain hydrophilic R groups, whereas other amino acids contain hydrophobic R groups.

During protein folding, hydrophobic amino acids are arranged so they can interact with the long chains of the fatty acids in the internal region of the lipid bilayer, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are arranged so they interact with water on the surface of the cell membrane.
