Answer:

(A) two

Explanation:

A heterodimeric protein consists of two polypeptides (a polypeptide is a  chain of amino acids) that differ in amino acid composition, number or order in the chain sequence. Each polypeptide makes a different subunit of the protein.

One gene encodes one polypeptide, so if the protein has two different polypeptides, two genes are required to form this protein.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Fibrous

Explanation:

Proteins are assembled according to their functions. Fibrous proteins usually provide protection and support to cells. They are made up of polypeptides that have elongated shape and assembles in large cables or threads. These proteins are differentiated from globular proteins by their globular form and repeated units of amino acids.

For example the fibrous proteins involved in horns, hair and nails is alpha-keratin.  Elastin found in skin and ligament is also a fibrous protein. Collagen includes collagen fibrils that have tensile strength of steel is also a fibrous protein found in cartilages and bones.
