Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the leading and the lagging strands of DNA during D
Mrrafil [7]

The answer is; A & C

The lagging strand is replicated in fragments called Okazaki fragments, each initiated by a primer. The fragments are later joined into one strand by DNA ligase. Replication occurs by adding nucleotides to the 3’ end of a preceding nucleotide. Because the lagging strand is antiparallel to the leading strand, the replication of the lagging strand is in the opposite direction as the replication fork direction. This is why the lagging strand is replicated in fragments because replication is being carried out by a single DNA polymerase (moving in the direction of the replication fork) per replication fork.

Solid tumors are clusters of cancer cells and often contain blood vessels. When molecule B binds to the wild-type Brec protein i
Agata [3.3K]

The molecule C-P phosphorylates and thus activates D, whereas Kinase D amplifies cellular signaling by phosphorylating many substrates. In this case, it is expected to observe kinase D overexpression in Brec-MUT cells.

<h3>Cancer, phosphorylation and signaling pathways</h3>

Cancer can be defined as a multifactorial disease, which is often associated with uncontrolled cell growth.

Cancer signaling may be associated with defective pathways such as, for example, a mutated kinase protein that affects normal downstream molecular cascades.

A kinase is a specific protein that acts to phosphorylate specific cellular substrates, thereby activating/deactivating a particular signaling pathway.

Dominik [7]

Food and nutrition are fundamental to military capability. Historical examples demonstrate that a failure to supply adequate nutrition to armies inevitably leads to disaster; however, innovative measures to overcome difficulties in feeding reap benefits, and save lives. In barracks, UK Armed Forces are currently fed according to the relatively new Pay As You Dine policy, which has attracted criticism from some quarters. The recently introduced Multi-Climate Ration has been developed specifically to deal with issues arising from Iraq and the current conflict in Afghanistan.Answer:
