A protein's shape is important because each protein has a specific action (or function) that it does, and it has to "fit" other molecules sometimes. For example, enzymes have active sites where the molucules bind to it. The active site is shaped to fit specific molecules. The enzyme sucrase only fits the sucrose molecule. Another example is hemoglobin, which does not have a nucleus because it functions as the carrying molecule for oxygen and needs the space for storage. Protein carrier molecules in cell membranes also have receptor sites that are shape specific to the molecule they are intended to transport.
A protein has 4 levels of structure and cannot funtion unless it has achieved the tertiary level.



1.some (most cases) protein acting as enzymes 2.some proteins help to maintain structural frame work (like virus core proteins)3.there are so many cannot generalize more,

Describe how an organism's genotypes codes for their phenotype. In your answer use the vocabulary terms: Phenotype, genotype, DN
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The organism's genotype encodes their phenotype because the <u>genotype</u> corresponds to the characteristic that is determined by genes —formed by fragments of <u>DNA</u>— which are transcribed into <u>mRNA</u> to be translated into amino acid sequences in the synthesis of <u>proteins</u>, determining the morphological and functional characteristics of an organism, that is, its phenotype.

Explanation:

<u>Genotype</u> corresponds to the genetic information contained in the <u>DNA</u>, according to the sequence of nucleotides in its molecular structure. This genotype includes characteristics or polymorphisms that define the appearance and function of living beings.

Each DNA molecule constitutes a chromosome, formed by genes —DNA fragments— each of which determines specific characteristics.

When DNA is transcribed into <u>mRNA</u>, information is being sent that is necessary for the incorporation of amino acids into a <u>protein</u> that is being synthesized. The proteins, in turn, determine morphological and functional characteristics that constitute the <u>phenotype</u> of an individual.

Is a caterpillar a heterotroph?
kolezko [41]

PLZ HELP 80PTS!!! What sex is the person who has the karyotype described in Steps 3-4? How do you know?
goldenfox [79]

I can’t help you with the first two questions, as I do not have a reference, but I can help you with the last two. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive trait. It is caused when specific sections of both copies of chromosome 8 are deleted, which in other words mean that it is not a sex-linked disorder because it isn’t inherited from the mother and father of the offspring.

No, all mutations are not bad. Only a small amount of mutations cause genetic disorder. Some in fact are good mutations. There is actually one mutation that is found roughly in 10% of Europeans which affects the CCR5 protein and it prevents HIV from entering the cell!
