Biology

nirvana33 [79]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The types of R-groups

It's shape

Explanation:

The structure of an enzyme is strongly related to its function. For example an enzyme structure defines its active site and how that site interacts with the substrate for catalysis of a reaction.

On the other hand, the structure of a protein is highly dependent on the interactions of the R-groups of the amino acids that make up the proteins. The interactions are dependent on the charges of these groups that stabilize protein structures such loops of beta-sheets and alpha-helices. If these charges are affected then the conformation of the protein will also most likely be altered.

For plants and other organisms to develop differences among their respective species the alleles of their genes must contain var
olasank [31]

A) <u>Mutation</u> is the original source of variations for plants and other organisms  which develops differences among their respective species

Explanation:

Genetic variation leads to the natural differences between each individual and among individuals of a species. The main cause for this variation is due to alleles that cause variations in the composition of genes or the DNA sequences.  

A mutation is a genetic variation which leads to the creation of a new allele in a species population. Each variation in the DNA sequence leads to an allele formation and each allele leads to a difference in character or trait between individuals since they are the alternate version of the original genes.  

Although genetic variations could be brought about by crossing over, random fertilization, or independent assortment; mutation is the original source because it provides the basic raw material for all the evolutionary changes.
