Answer:

c. amino acids

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers of proteins. Two amino acids combine in a condensation reaction that releases water forming a peptide bond. These two amino acid residues form a dipeptide. If a third amino acid is bound, a tripeptide is formed and so on to form a polypeptide.

The amino acids are formed by an alpha carbon attached to a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen and an R chain of variable composition, which determines the properties of the different amino acids; There are hundreds of R chains so hundreds of different amino acids are known. In natural amino acids, the amino group and the carboxyl group are attached to the same carbon that is called asymmetric alpha.

The binding of several amino acids results in chains called polypeptides or simply peptides. Protein will be discussed when the polypeptide chain exceeds 50 amino acids or the total molecular weight exceeds 5,000 amu. There are about 20 different amino acids composing proteins. The chemical binding between amino acids in proteins occurs through a peptide bond. This reaction occurs naturally in ribosomes, both of the endoplasmic reticulum and the cytosol.

why does the meiosis produce cells with only half the amount of DNA? How does this aid in the formation of a healthy zygote?
Andreyy89
Meiosis produces cells (germ cells or gametes) with only half the DNA, or chromosomes, as normal cells (somatic cells). This is called haploid or referred to as "n" number of chromosomes. Normal body cells have doubke that, called "2n," or diploid. For humans our n = 23, so germ cells (haploid) have only 23 chromosomes, while somatic (normal body) cells have "2n" or 46 chromosomes. It is important to only carry half the number of chromosomes or DNA (n), because it is going to combine with another half (n) when sperm meets egg during fertilization. This n + n = 2n restores the diploid number of chromosomes (DNA) in a zygote, the first cell of a future embryo, fetus, and new human being.

The distance, measured in degrees, north and south of the equator is referred to as _____.
Vlad [161]

Answer;

-Latitude

Explanation;

-The distance, measured in degrees, north and south of the equator is referred to as latitude.

-Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.

-The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator.
