George Beadle and Edward Tatum used mutant strains of Neurospora to formulate the one-gene-one-enzyme hypothesis. Researchers la

ter updated this hypothesis to propose that one gene encodes one polypeptide because proteins can have multiple subunits. Consider a heterodimeric protein. How many genes are required to form this protein?
(A) two
(B) four
(C) six
(D) three
(E) one

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.

Which of the following describes the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Some of these can easily be eliminated by knowing that both nitrogen 14 and nitrogen 15 are isotopes ( same element, with the same amount of protons, but with different numbers of neutrons) of nitrogen. So if the only difference between nitrogen 14, 15 , and regular nitrogen is the amount of neutrons...how many protons and electrons should both nitrogen 14 and 15 have? After thinking, you should be able to eliminate A, B,and C.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.
