Answer:

Sulfur is part of the structure of some amino acids and proteins.

Explanation:

Sulfur enters the disulfide layers in proteins and is responsible for their spatial structure. Many proteins, in order to perform their function, need a stable spatial form (Enzymes, for example.). Because disulfide bridges form strong bonds between amino acids, this structure remains strong and stable to perform its function.  In addition, sulfur is present in the amino acids cystine, cysteine and methionine contained in proteins. Proteins are the compounds in which most of S and N are incorporated. Sulfur content in proteins is 1 g / kg and N is 15 times higher.

Why do scientists compare the DNA of bananas, worms, fruit flies, and humans? How can this information be helpful?
brilliants [131]
About 60 percent of our genes have a recognizable counterpart in the banana genome! "Of those 60 percent, the proteins encoded by them are roughly 40 percent identical when we compare the amino acid sequence of the human protein to its equivalent in the banana

if a cell has 24 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would each of its four daughter cells have after meiosis?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Because there are two rounds of division without duplication in between, the genetic content is cut in half. Each of the 4 daughter cells will only end up with half of the genetic content of the parent cell. Therefore, after meiosis, the daughter cells would have only 12 chromosomes each.
