Most proteins in living organisms are composed of 40 amino acid residues in total, and nine of those are crucial for human health.

Which majority of amino acids make up proteins in living things?

  • Only twenty different amino acids, each with a distinct side chain, make up proteins. Different chemistries can be found in the side chains of amino acids. The majority of amino acids contain side chains that are nonpolar.
  • There are nine essential amino acids:
  1. tryptophan
  2. valine
  3. isoleucine
  4. leucine
  5. lysine
  6. methionine
  7. phenylalanine
  8. threonine
  9. methionine

What Constitutes Proteins?

  • Amino acids are the basic units of proteins. They are tiny chemical compounds with an alpha (central) carbon coupled to an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, hydrogens, and a changeable element known as a side chain.
  • A protein is made up of a lengthy chain of amino acids that are connected by peptide bonds. The biological process that links the carboxyl unit of one amino acid towards the amino group of a nearby amino acid results in the extraction of a water molecule, forming peptide bonds. The main structure of a protein is thought to be its linear amino acid sequence.

What would happen to skin cells if mitosis did not ​
olasank [31]

Since mitosis is the division of cells, in this case, skin cells, it allows the dead skin cells to fall off. Also, mitosis can fix any injuries. Without mitosis, these things would not happen.

Which of the following can occur to two segments of a population if they are geographically isolated
lbvjy [14]

The correct answer is 4.) Eventually they become separate species

A process of formation of a new species from an existing species is called speciation.

When a single species changed into two or more separate species, is called speciation. Speciation can take place due to reproductive isolation.  In reproductive isolation, the separated species no longer can interbreed among themselves. This is happened due to mating differences, sterility or environmental barriers which finally results into the adaptive splitting into two species.

Native Americans and Type O Blood

Modern Native Americans have very high frequencies of Type O blood.

In some places in North and South America, the frequency is as high as 100%. Anthropologists believe that early Native Americans arrived in North America by crossing over the Bering Land Bridge around 15,000 years ago, from East Asia.

Modern East Asian populations, with whom modern Native Americans share ancestry, do not have high frequencies of Type O blood. Instead, they have some of the lowest frequencies of Type O blood in the world.

B. Sickle-Cell Anemia

As many as 20-30% of people living in equatorial Africa have at least one allele on Chromosome 11 that codes for sickle-cell anemia (they have an, "S" rather than an, "A" allele). This is odd because usually, 80% of people who have two S alleles die before they can reproduce,

For each of the following cases:

1. What forces of evolution are at work?  State all that apply.

Mutation

Natural Selection

Genetic Drift

Gene Flow.
