Biology

Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
7 0
Vestigial structures are considered evidence since scientists believe they are structures that were once used by a species ancestors but are no longer needed. They do not impair the organisms in any way, so there is no need for evolution to get rid of them. Vestigial structures are anatomical features that no longer seems to have a function or purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species. Examples are wisdom teeth, the muscles of the ear, the appendix, the tail bone among others in human.

Which of the following statements regarding secretory protein translocation is NOT true? Hydropathy profiles are used to computa
miss Akunina [59]

Incorrect statement is: Type II membrane proteins have a signal sequence targeting them to the ER as well as a signal anchor sequence.

Signal peptide or signal sequence is a sequence of amino acids that gets recognized by signal recognition particle (SRP). This sequence is involved in cotranslational translocation into ER, where the protein should be folded. A stop-transfer sequence signals that translation of the protein should continue in the cytosol (not in ER). A signal anchor sequence signals the insertion of protein into the ER membrane.
