Answer: protein structure

Explanation:

In Sickle-cell anemia, the gene sequence of hemoglobin is changed in its sixth position due to the substitution of glutamate with valine.

So, since glutamate, an amino acid soluble in water due to its hydrophilic side chain is substituted with valine, an amino acid that has a hydrophobic side chain insoluble in water or bloodstream; the resulting hemoglobin protein is altered in structure (sickle shaped) and unable to bind and transport oxygen efficiently to the various body parts.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

large central vacuole

cell wall

Explanation:

Let me clear some things up for you. There are two types of cells - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The principle difference between these types of cells are the structure of their genome. In case of prokaryotes, the genomic matter do not have a defined structure, it just kind of floats around in the protoplasm. But in the eukaryotes, the genome is more structured, have all kinds of proteins associated with them, and is surrounded by a two layered sack called the nuclear membrane. Both plant and animal cells have these feature of structured nucleus, therefore, they are both eukaryotes.

Now for the difference between plant and animal cells. the features you mentioned are unique about plant cells, but do not rule them out from being eukaryotes, as the 'true' structure of the nucleus is still there. Cell walls are necessary for the plant cells because plants do not posses an endoskeleton like most of the animals do. The cell wall makes the whole plant rigid so they don't fall apart or appear like a blob. Chloroplast is where photosynthesis happens, so it should most definitely be in a plant cell. Animals don't do photosynthesis so they don't have chloroplasts. Vacuoles are also present in animal cells, but they are much smaller, greater in number, and are known as lysosomes. Functionally they are virtually the same.

Answer:

Artifical Selection OR Cross Pollination

Explanation:

If white roses and red roses are cross-bred by scientists, it would be artifical selection. If they were crossed in nature, it is called crossed pollination.

frozen [14]

Answer:

B is correct. Production of PEP, glucose, and fructose 6-phosphate by gluconeogenesis-specific enzymes that bypass irreversible steps of glycolysis push the equilibrium of reversible enzymes that function both in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in the direction of glucose production.
