Answer:

C. glycoproteins

Explanation:

Glycoproteins are proteins containing glycans (oligosaccharide carbohydrates) attached to amino acid side chains. These oligosaccharides are attached to the amino acid chain by a posttranslational modification referred to as glycosylation, a modification generally found in extracellular regions. Glycosylation refers to the chemical reaction in which a glycosyl donor (i.e., the carbohydrate) is attached to a functional group in the protein. The glycosylation sites play distinct functional roles for both cell interactions and cell recognition. Moreover, glycosylation sites are also essential for substrate recognition by an enzyme. For example, secreted cytokines are glycosylated, which is required for their binding to receptors.

The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is allotetraploid, likely as a result of an interspecies mating long ago, followed by a
stepladder [879]

Explanation:

Xenopus laevis is allotetraploid: it has 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from one species and 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from another species, making a total of 4 sets of chromosomes. During meiosis, every chromosome has another homologous one with which it can pair, producing viable gametes that have the complete genetic information of the species.

Mules, however, are allodiploid: they have one set of chromosomes from a donkey and another set from a horse, making a total of 2 sets of chromosmes. But those two sets are not homologous, so during meiosis the chromosomes can't pair and the gametes will have errors that make them inviable, making mules sterile

DNA, Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is the empirical proof of God.

DNA can never be created naturalistically and is absolutely uniquely structured:

1. DNA contains multiple levels of coded organically constructed information that controls all cellular functions and no natural process is capable of creating or coding.

2. The amino acids that provide the coding fo the genetic information are homochiral. The few, not all, amino acids that can form naturally are not symmetric and are either left-handed or right-handed, called racemic. All amino acids in DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, ribosomes and other cellular assemblies are left-handed, 100%. No right-handed amino acid can function within DNA. Nature may produce a partial list of racemic amino acids, but cannot produce homochiral amino acids, again, only produced within a cell.

3. Phosphate penta-sugars provide the overall dual backplane physical structure to allow the amino acids to be affixed and are all right-handed homochiral, not produced in nature and exclusively right-handed.

How is the shape of a shark's body adapted for swimming?
inn [45]
Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species.  Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.
