The easiest example is of Pentadactyl limbs. This is the 5 bone structure of the 'arm' of different animals being similar, contributing to the explanation of common ancestors. Animals that have this are whales, horses, dogs, cows, birds and even humans. We each share the same five bones in similar places but with some of them changed to suit certain functions ie birds are more spread to support flying, while humans are made for throwing, picking up and holding things.
The Rules of Protein Structure. The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
The number of amino acids that will be in the polypeptide chain produced by the normal DNA or MRNA sequence is usually 30 amino acids. Although the number of amino acids depends on the function of the generated DNA or RNA. The types of amino acids also differ depending on the function.
Answer: Option B
Explanation: The first line of defense acts a barrier and does not allows the foreign materials to enter inside the body. It includes chemical and physical barriers that are always ready to protect the body from infection.
Example: Skin and mucous membrane.
Skin is largest organ and it acts as a barrier between pathogens and human body. It acts a waterproof material and the pathogens cannot get inside through skin unless the skin is broken.
Mucous membranes also acts as first line of defense and breaks the cell wall of many bacteria entering through the openings of the body.
So, skin and mucous membrane are the first line of defense.
