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.

Give the definition of parasympathetic nervous system?
SashulF [63]

Answer: Autonomic nervous system is made up of 3 divisions; Sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic division. All these divisions are involuntary actions where parasympathetic is ultimately responsible for the "rest and digest" part of it. When the body is at rest the parasympathetic nervous system inhibits or lowers high energy requiring bodily functions.

This nervous system will lower any fight or flight response actions such as the release of epinephrine into the blood and enable digestion, urination and defeacation. When engaged in digestion you feel relaxed and at rest, this is solely due to the parasympathetic nevous system.

How does biodiversity depend on a species' ability to reproduce
bekas [8.4K]
Biodiversity depends on a species' ability to reproduce itself. If a species cannot reproduce then it will die out. This depends on the climatic conditions of the region. If there is a natural disaster for example, it will affect a species' ability to reproduce. This reduces the number of diverse species on earth. Biodiversity is the recognised variety of different types of life found on the earth. It also measures the variety of number and variety of plants, animals and other organisms found in different ecosystems.
