Protein folding is determined by a variety of factors, from the amino acid composition all the way through to primary, secondary and tertiary structures of the proteins. Proteins fold in water environments, and how they fold is determined by the hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and charge of amino acids. Amino acids that are hydrophobic will face away from water environments, while hydrophilic amino acids will face towards water environments. This gives rise to primary and secondary structures such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Among these are a variety of structures that form the tertiary structures. The different types of amino acids play an essential role in this, as they are the building blocks of proteins and can affect the structures of proteins because of their charge and affinity for water.

Given a parent genotype of hh, what are the possible gametes that they can produce?<br> :)

Yuri [45]

Answer:

For hh, the gametes can only carry h (the recessive allele). For both heterozygous individuals (Hh), the gametes can carry the H (dominant allele) or the h (recessive allele). For Hh, the gametes can carry the H (dominant allele) or the h (recessive allele). For HH, the gametes can only carry H (the dominant allele).

Populations of blue-winged warblers, a type of bird, migrate south in the winter and return to Canadian breeding grounds in the

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Populations will decline.

Explanation:

Since individuals will be less likely to successfully reproduce, and because they will not be able to breed with other birds on the breeding grounds.

How do researchers hope to understand healthy aging by the study of proteins?

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Of course, you could scan their driver’s license or look for signs of facial wrinkles and gray hair. But, as researchers just found in a new study, you also could get pretty close to the answer by doing a blood test.

Woman looking at herself in mirror That may seem surprising. But in a recent study in Nature Medicine, an NIH-funded research team was able to gauge a person’s age quite reliably by analyzing a blood sample for levels of a few hundred proteins. The results offer important new insights into what happens as we age.

Explanation:

For example, the team suggests that the biological aging process isn’t steady and appears to accelerate periodically — with the greatest bursts coming, on average, around ages 34, 60, and 78

Neurons are either classified by their structural differences or their ? differences.

DedPeter [7]

Nerve cells are functionally classified as sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) are unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar shaped cells that conduct action potentials toward or into the central nervous system.
