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.

The reading frame of the sequence would shift, causing a change in the amino acid sequence after that point.

Explanation:

DNA sequencing is important to apply to the human genome. It allows scientists to sequence genes and genomes. Since there is a limit to how many bases can be sequenced in one experiment, larger DNA molecules - as mentioned - have to be 'broken' into smaller fragments before they can be sequenced and re assembled. The normal allelic variant is 1600 base pairs (bp) long and contains three exons. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is 5' - epsilon – gamma-G – gamma-A – delta – beta - 3'.

Which organelles would create a basic protein that could be modified to move chromatids during metaphase?

bija089 [108]

The organelles would create a basic protein that could be modified to move chromatids during metaphase is the histine protien which is secreted from the RNA's.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Histone protein is the protein that is associated with the chromosome. The chromatin fibres get condensed into chromosomes on these proteins.

The chromatin fibre i.e. the DNA fibre gets to wrap itself around the histone octamer which is formed of two units of each of Histone H2A H2B H3 and H4. Then the H1 protein seals the turn and thus a chromosome is formed. These histone are produced in the S-phase of the cell cycle. This protein is transcribed into m-RNA's and then translated into protein.
