<span><span>anonymous </span> 3 years ago</span>Proteins are involved in almost all of the cell's functions. They can act as:
Transportation: they can transport hydrophobic molecules in blood for example
Regulation: protein hormones and enzymes
Receptor: can act as receptors on cell surface and in the subsequent signal transduction (G-protein for instance)
It is true that all proteins are made up of up to 20 amino acids, but there are several reasons for their diverse actions:
-One reason is the possible sequence and number of amino acids: Met-Ser-His is different from Met-His-Ser for example. Besides, you have different chain length, for a protein is made up of long chain of polypeptide (longer than 50-70 amino acids) and can have any of the 20 amino acids with repetition, so using simple probability, this can provide up to practically unlimited combination with proteins that have chains of thousands of amino acids.
-Another very crucial reason for the diversity of protein action is the conformation. A protein passes by at least 3 conformational stages before becoming mature. The straight amino acid chain is the primary structure of the protein that can never be active. Spatial modification of this primary structure results in a secondary structure, Helix or Beta-pleated sheets (or other coiling structure), that is also inactive. Further coiling and bending of the secondary structure produce a 3-dimentional conformation that is the active form of the protein. Moreover, many proteins can undergo further conformational rearrangement and combination with other protein sub-units producing a quaternary structure.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Assume that allele A is the dominant allele that produces the dominant phenotype (tall) in plants that have at least one allele A, and allele a is the recessive allele that produces the recessive phenotype (short) in plants that have two alleles a.
In the parental generation, a true-breeding tall plant has the AA genotype (phenotype: tall), and a true-breeding short plant has the aa genotype (phenotype: short).
We have the Gregor Mendel's cross as in the image attached here.
All of the F1 generation (offspring plants) have the Aa heterozygous genotype, and therefore, they are all tall.
The answer is c (the offspring plants have a genotype that was different from that of both parents).
~ C. Population
Population is all the inhabitants of a particular town, area, or country.
<span>While Acid fast bacteria retain carbol fuchsin after acid-alcohol treatment, non- Acid fast bacteria are decolorized by acid-alcohol.
Bacteria of genus mycobacterium are best stained using acid-fast method. A mixture of Phenol and fuchsin is carbol fuchsin. In acid-slcohol, acid is hydrochloric acid.</span>
<span>Well this isn't actually a question but to market to a company like this you first have to impress a small number of people in a single chain of command. Your products don't have to be marketed to a company as a whole or to a single rung of the food chain but to each successive member in a hierarchy in the company. Firstly to the employee, then to their management then to the ones who actually making the decision to buy.</span>
