Proteins are the macromolecules made of hundreds of amino acids. Proteins are most varied class of biological molecules and show the greatest variety of structures. Many have detailed three-dimensional folding patterns that result in a compact form, but others do not fold up at all and they are in random conformations. The function of proteins depends on their structure.
The secondary structure of protein fold together to form the 3D arrangement of a polypeptide chain that results into Tertiary structure which is a functional protein.

Answer:
The high yielding property of a plant species would be most useful for meeting the scientists’ goal.
Explanation:
In selective breeding, we develop a new variety by crossing a wild specie with the domestic growing variety in order to achieve the characteristic which is present only in wild specie. So with the help of selective breeding, this characteristics is transferred to the offspring. The main goal of scientist is to produce such variety which produces maximum yield and also good quality seeds.

create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random
fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during
meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring)</span>
Answer:
D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.
If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:
Bb = B and b
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:
1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb
BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs
bb = white fur guinea pigs
