Answer:

axon; dendrite

Explanation:

A neuron has three main parts. These are axons, dendrites, and a cell body. Synapse is the site of communication between two neurons. The first neuron of a synapse is called the presynaptic neuron (sending neuron) while the second one is called the postsynaptic neuron (receiving). The axon of the presynaptic neuron and the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron communicate with each other at the synapse as the axon of the first neuron delivers the nerve impulse away from the cell body.

Dendrites function as the receiving or input portions of a neuron. The plasma membranes of dendrites have numerous receptor sites for binding chemical messengers from the presynaptic neuron.

Three species of lizard, labeled A, B, and C, are being studied using molecular analysis by two research colleagues in different
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

The <u>biomolecule used in comparing lizards A and B is the mitochondrial DNA while that used to compare the same lizard B to another lizard C is the ribosomal RNA (rRNA)</u>. <u>They should have compared the same biomolecules throughout</u> by extracting the mitochondrial DNA of the three lizards and then proceed to sequence the whole genome of the lizards. After which they can now do a Global alignment (comparison) of the three sequences together. This procedure would have given them a more accurate information on there identity and similarity.

Skin color, fur color, and height are examples of which inheritance pattern? A)Mendelian inheritance B)incomplete dominance C)co
Charra [1.4K]
<span>All of these are examples of Polygenic inheritance (Answer choice D). This is because there are multiple genes that control skin or fur color, or height, and the physical form (phenotype) is the result of a coordination of different genes (genotype). These three physical characteristics are complex in nature, there is not just one gene that controls them.</span>

Predict where the structural differences would occur between an-pep and other enzymes that do not digest the peptides.
kramer

AN-PEP enzyme refers to a dietary supplement, which has been shown to dissociate gluten in the stomach. It has been proven to help the individuals suffering from Gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease. The scientific name of the enzyme is Aspergillus Niger prolyl endoprotease.  

However, certain structural differences would take place between AN-PEP, which prevent the enzyme from digesting the peptides. Some of the differences like amino acid differences would be expected in the active site, and in the regions, which influence the folded composition of the active site.
