Answer:

comets with short orbit periods

Explanation:

Comets are irregular rocky bodies composed of dust, frozen gases and ice. Most of the comets reside in Kuiper belt and Oort clouds. Kuiper belt is a region beyond orbit of Neptune. Comets orbit the sun in large elliptical orbits. Comets can be classified based on the period of their orbits. Comets which lie in Kuiper belt have period of orbit less than 200 years. Hence, these are known as short period comets where as long period comets reside in Oort cloud having orbital period of more than 200 years.

The order of sequence of amino acid segment or residue in the peptide chain of the protein affects the structure of the particular protein which also leads to change in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein.

Multiple sclerosis and atherosclerosis are similar in that they both refer to:

alukav5142 [94]

The conditions mentioned are both a type of sclerosis, which refers to the hardening of a certain anatomical feature.

In atherosclerosis, the affected anatomical feature is the artery. This is a condition that causes the obstructions of blood flow through the artery as a result of plaque buildup along the artery walls. Unlike with MS, atherosclerosis does not present symptoms until the obstructions are severe or the plaque loosens, which can lead to heart attacks, among other consequences.

In the case of Multiple Sclerosis, the affected anatomical structure is that of the nerve. This is a condition for unknown reasons, causes the immune system to attack the myelin covers of nerve cells which act to protect the cell. The absence of this cover causes the build-up of plaque along the nerve axon, stiffening and disrupting the communication of the nerves with the central nervous system.
