Define the mechanical differences of elastin and collagen then explain the influence of these differences on tensile strength of

skin
Biology

Fittoniya [83]3 years ago

Answer:

Collagen is produced in the human body until natural aging occurs, whereas elastin is mainly produced during the fetal period. Collagen has the main property of providing structures with strength, whereas elastin will allow the structures which contain it to stretch and return to their initial form without damage

From what I know,  collagen/elastin ratio as well as the collagen and elastin structures change with age [3,4,5,6]. The elasticity of the skin increases with atrophy of the collagen fiber bundles, the related flattening of the rete ridges, and the thickening of the dermal elastic fiber.

What is true about translation? Choose ALL that apply.
Licemer1 [7]

<u>In the process of translation, the statement stands correct and applies are as follows:</u>

  • The ribosome has two sub-units that work together.
  • Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds.
  • Each tRNA brings in exactly one amino acid that corresponds to the anti-codon.
  • The order of the amino acids is determined by the mRNA which is transcribed from DNA.

Answer: Options A, B, C, and E

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the process of translation, ribosomes are the structural unit where the translation is being performed and it has the two sub-units which enact together the translational process.

Any two amino acids are bonded together by peptide bond and tRNA brings one amino acid at a time which corresponds to the anti codon. The order of amino acids is determined by mRNA transcribed from the DNA, and not from the ribosome. Thereby, all given options are correct except the option D.

Why are dominant alleles not necessarily more common than recessive alleles?
marta [7]
It all depends on the trait. If the dominant is more common that the recessive trait then it is more likely to a dominant trait in the gene pool. But if the recessive trait is more common in the gene pool then you will have a recessive trait. Does this make sense? Let me know if I'm right!
