A(n) <u>gene</u> is a sequence of organic nitrogen base pairs that codes for a polypeptide or a protein.

What is polypeptide?

Peptides are made up of short chains of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. The word "peptide" comes from the Ancient Greek word "peptós," which means "digested." Oligopeptides, which comprise dipeptides, tripeptides, and tetrapeptides, are chains of fewer than twenty amino acids.

A polypeptide is a peptide chain that is longer, continuous, and unbranched.

Therefore, along with nucleic acids, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and others, peptides belong to the large chemical families of biological polymers and oligomers.

A protein is a polypeptide that has more than 50 amino acids, on average. A protein is made up of one or more polypeptides that are structured in a biologically useful manner. Proteins are frequently coupled to other proteins, other macromolecules like DNA or RNA, or complex macromolecular assemblies.

Mashutka [201]

Jeffery Arnett is a physiologist who coined the term "emerging adulthood." This has previously been known as; delayed adulthood, transition age youth, youthhood, and the twixter years. He believes that the period between adolescence and adulthood is when the person reaches adulthood but doesn't have children, have sufficient funds, or have their own home. He believes it starts at 18 and ends around 25 years of age. He thinks this is when people are still looking for love, make money to spend on recreational activities, and trying to develop their own identities. This theory is highly controversial and has been contested by developmental psychologists.

The two planets considered “ice giants” are

Lady bird [3.3K]

I believe its Uranus and Neptune, please tell me if I'm wrong.

Reason: an ice planet is made up of a semi icy surface like perhaps water, oxygen, or any other element stronger than hydrogen. Neptune and Uranus both meet this match, they are made up of elements that are actually stronger than hydrogen.

The condition Marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main protein component of elastic fibers. Pre

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.

What's up? i learned this a pretty long time ago so bear with me

all cells: dna, nucleus, ribosome, cytoplasm, cell membrane, (mitochondria??)
