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

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.

Filip, aged 64, was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. His medical reports will most likely reveal a diminished production of
UNO [17]

Answer:

Filip's medical report, diagnosed with Alzhaimer's, may reveal a diminished production of acethylcholine.

Explanation:

Alzhaimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that causes immediate memory loss, behavioral changes and cognitive impairment, due to neuronal alterations and atrophy.

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine —related to neuronal transmission and body movement— may experience a decrease in its production leading to Alzheimer's, according to the cholinergic hypothesis.

Many therapies and treatments at present are based on the use of drugs to correct the acetylcholine deficit.

Regarding other options:

  • <em>Dopamine: alteration or deficit is related to Parkinson's disease.</em>
  • <em>Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA): deficiency is not common and is related to a type of congenital and infantile neuropathy. </em>
  • <em>Serotonin: deficit of this neurotransmitter can lead to depression and psychological disorders.</em>

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Hydrophobic Properties

Explanation:

Lipids and water do not mix. The contents of cells in the larger proportion is the cytoplasm, this is made up mostly of water. The lipids serve as a barrier; the contents that are distributed in a watery medium will not be able to mix. This is due to the hydro-phobic or water "hating" capacity of lipids.
