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,

What are two diffrences between replication and transcription?
Ghella [55]
Replication - The action of copying or reproducing something.
DNA replication of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Transcription - First step to gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language.

1.) Transcription involved both DNA and RNA, whilst replication only involves DNA.
2.) Replication uses two identical replicas of DNA, whilst transcription is copied.

Hope I helped.

A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of one type of colorblindness (denoted by Xc). Let the genotype for no
Alex73 [517]

The scenario will be Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son

<h3>What is color blindness?</h3>

The condition is frequently inherited. Certain eye diseases and medications are also possible causes. Men are more affected than women.

Color blindness is characterized by the inability to distinguish between red and green shades.

A colorblind man's genotype is XcY, and a heterozygous carrier female's genotype is XcX. A cross between XcY and XcX would result in progeny with the following ratio=

Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Thus, the couple is likely to have a son who is half normal and half affected. Similarly, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.
