Solution:

Myoglobin has a single chain of 153 amino acids wrapped around a group of iron and other atoms (called "heme") to which oxygen binds. Hemoglobin, in contrast, is made of up four chains: two identical chains consisting of 141 amino acids, and two other identical chains consisting of 146 amino acids.

Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for our body to make thousands of different kinds of proteins from just the same 21amino acids. There are only 20 amino acids.

The 20 Amino acids which make proteins are:

• alanine - ala - A (gif, interactive)

• arginine - arg - R (gif, interactive)

• asparagine - asn - N (gif, interactive)

• aspartic acid - asp - D (gif, interactive)

• cysteine - cys - C (gif, interactive)

• glutamine - gln - Q (gif, interactive)

• glutamic acid - glu - E (gif, interactive)

• glycine - gly

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: There re two different types of phenotypes in the offsprings that is Round yellow and Round green.

Explanation-

As per the Mendelian inheritance, Round shape and yellow color of pea are dominant over wrinkled shape and green color of pea.

According to the question, genotypes of parents are- RrYy ( heterzygous for round and yellow) and RRYy ( homozygous for round and heterozygous for yellow).

The first parent can produce four different gametes that is RY, Ry, rY, ry whereas the second parent will produce only two types of gametes that is RY and Ry.

When they are crossed, they will produce two different phenotypes in the offsprings.

When cells perform photosynthesis, they transform energy from one form to another, what takes place during photosynthesis?
Oxana [17]

During photosynthesis, solar/light energy from the sun is transformed into C6H12O6, or glucose (chemical energy). Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods (glucose) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen (O2) and glucose.
