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.

skelet666 [1.2K]
<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

The thylacine is an extinct marsupial that once roamed Tasmania and Australia. There are several preserved specimens in existence. DNA cloning offers the best chance for bringing back the thylacine. DNA cloning is a method that offers multiple same images of a gene. A point gene is injected into a round section of DNA known as a plasmid. In reproductive cloning, researchers discard a developed somatic cell such as a skin cell from an animal that they want to follow. They then carry the DNA of the donor animal's somatic cell into an egg cell or oocyte from which DNA nucleus is removed. The offspring is a clone.
