How are proteins distinguished from each other?

Biology
2 answers:
ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago

Different combinations of amino acids give different properties to proteins. Therefore, the main feature that should be used in distinguishing proteins from each other is the amino acid sequence of proteins. However, proteins can be distinguished by their size and the biochemical properties as well.

Answer:

Proteins are made of amino acids that gives them different properties. The different properties of the proteins makes them different from each other.

Proteins can also be differentiated based on their structures. It can be primary, secondary, tertiary or quarternary. The structure of the protein determines its function.

Basically, the type of amino acid found in the protein determines its properties.

If organisms inherited traits via blending inheritance, rather than Mendelian inheritance, what would we expect the offspring (F
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

green-flowered plants

Explanation:

In biology, blending inheritance refers to an erroneous theory from the XIX century, which proposed that the progeny (F1) inherits phenotypic traits as an average of parental phenotypic values. If this theory would be true then a crossing of a blue flower variety with a yellow variety of the same species would produce green-flowered progeny (since green is a combination of blue and yellow). Charles Darwin used pangenesis, a hypothetical mechanism for heredity that implied blending inheritance, in order to understand the transmission of hereditary characters. Darwin believed that different parts of the body generated heredity particles called 'gemmules' that aggregated in the gonads, and contributed to the transmission of heritable information to the next generation. The blending inheritance theory was replaced by Mendelian inheritance during the early 1900s.

What modification to the Myosin light-chain protein by MLCP likely causes the contraction to relax?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The options

A. Methylation

B. Dephosphorylation

C. Phosphorylation

D. Enzymatic transformation

The CORRECT ANSWER IS B.

B. Dephosphorylation

Explanation:

The regulation of the phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) is a major step in the regulation of smooth muscle cell contraction.

The dephosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) occurs in smooth muscle tissue and causes the relaxation phase of the muscle cells. This step is controlled by the MLC phosphatase (MLCP).

Explain why ecologists think the focus of conservation efforts should be ecosystems, not individual species?
Alecsey [184]

It depends on the species and its primary threats, there is no universal solution. Many South East Asian species are primarily threatened by poaching ("Empty forest syndrome"), whereas many "reptiles" and amphibians from Madagascar can apparently cope with fairly high levels of collection (e.g. Golden Mantella [Mantella aurantiaca]), while the loss of their often small habitat is the primary threat.

Fur color in mice is affected by a single gene. The gene for fur color has two alleles: B that causes dark brown fur, and b that
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The genotype could be BB or Bb

Explanation:

The genotype could be Bb which means it has heterozygous alleles.

The B which is allele for dark brown fur is dorminant and b for light brown is recessive. In this case, the dorminant allele masked the effect of the recessive allele b which make the dorminant allele B to be expressed phenotypically.
