Answer:

B.hydrogen bonding within polypeptide strands

Explanation:

Alpha helix is one of the secondary structures formed by polypeptide chains. It is formed when the backbone of a polypeptide is wound around a longitudinal axis. The side chains of the amino acids are oriented outwards. Alpha helix structure is stabilized by the formation of a maximum number of hydrogen bonds between the amino acids of the chain. The hydrogen atom linked to the electronegative nitrogen atom of a peptide bond form hydrogen bond with the electronegative carbonyl oxygen atom of the fourth amino acid.

In this way, every peptide bond except the ones present close to each end of the helix take part in hydrogen bonding and stabilize the structure.

Which of the following terms does not refer to one of the four types of potentially infectious types of microorganisms?
Doss [256]

Answer:

D. toxins

Explanation:

<u>Toxins are not microorganisms</u>, in fact they are non-living substances/chemicals which can cause infection in our body. Toxins may be produced by microorganisms but they are themselves not microorganisms. Some of the examples of toxins produced by microorganisms are botulinum toxin A, tetanus toxin A, muscarine etc.

Other options can refer to potentially infectious type of microorganisms. Option A. talks about microbes, among microbes some are pathogenic. Option B. talks about pathogenic, as the name indicates will be infectious for sure.

Option C. talks about nonpathogenic, it may be non pathogenic at a time but later on it can be pathogenic. For example: some vaccines use inactivated microbes which are non pathogenic for generating antibodies in the body but later on in the human body when they get optimum conditions for growth they can turn pathogenic and start infecting our body.

vlabodo [156]
Alleles are alternative form of gene and are present at same place on chromosome
suppose the two alleles S and T are controlling leaf colour so the genotype that will b possible is SS.ST.TT and for species B the 6 phenotypes will occur so i conclude that 
<span>Species B will have a wider range of phenotypes
</span>so D is correct
hope it helps
