Answer:

20 amino acids.

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers that combine together to form a protein. Two main types of amino acids are non- essential amino acids and essential amino acids.

Thousands of different proteins can be made by the simple 20 amino acids present in the cell. The amino acids can combine in different ways to form all the proteins present in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (5).

Answer:

In an individual's molecular and cellular level, the heterozygote alleles are preferred over the homozygote alleles. In humans, the heterozygote alleles are found at a locus of beta polypeptide subunit of hemoglobin, while on the other hand, the homozygous alleles found at a similar locus are prone to sickle cell disease.

The individuals carrying homozygous alleles exhibit sickle-shaped RBCs and they also possess low oxygen-carrying capacity, which ultimately results in brain, kidney, or heart failure. However, in the case of heterozygous alleles, the configurations of RBCs are of two kinds, that is, normal shaped and sickle-shaped. Thus, there are not enough sickle-shaped cells to result in the condition.

The heterozygote alleles are resistant to malaria, thus, in tropical areas, where malaria is a prime issue the heterozygote alleles are preferred over the homozygote dominant alleles as they are vulnerable to the infection and over the homozygote recessive alleles who has sickle cell disease.

There would be more evidence spread out through space to be noticed by scientists and it seems like a stretch to go as far back as 4 billion years ago.
