The proposed cause of CJD and kuru in humans, mad cow disease, and scrapie in sheep is a change in a brain protein. Disease vict

ims appear to have a protein that should normally contain alpha helices but instead they have changed into a protein made of beta pleated sheets. The disease appears to spread when the abnormal protein comes into contact with the normal protein, causing it to become deformed. Which level of protein structure is associated with these diseases?

Answer:

secondary structure

Explanation:

Alpha helices and beta sheets are two main structural forms in secondary structure of proteins. This structures are formed spontaneously. The next step of protein structure formation is folding into tertiary three-dimensional form.

In diseases such as CJD and kuru, protein prion is changed in structure. It is not known how degeneration of priones protein structure occurs, but it can lead to neurodegenerative diseases which can even be fatal.

Priones are also known as proteinaceous infectious particles.

Answer:

Beaches would shrink until they were no longer there because the sediment is pulled away from the shores by the tide and there would be no new rock sediment to replace the old rock sediment.

Explain the behavior of the balloons referencing the charges.explain how the distance and direction of john travoltage’s finger
blagie [28]

when John Travoltage rubbed his foot against the floor, he started building up negative energy, this negative energy later built up as he was rubbing his foot on the floor which then caused a reaction with the door knob, the same thing happened with the balloons, as we rubbed it on the sweater, the balloons started building up negative energy too, which then resulted in a connection with the positive energy. The dust particles most likely got a charge from moving around from different places, considering that fabrics build up the negative energy, it appears that the dust particles could have landed on a fabric which then allowed the particles to build it up and then stick to other surfaces.

in a series of experiments Griffith infected mi've with oa nonvirulent r strain bacteria and highly virulent s strain bacteria.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

This demonstrate the transforming principle.

Explanation:

Griffith performed the experiment on the virulent bacteria and non- virulent bacteria. The non- virulent bacteria produce rough colonies and did  not cause pneumonia. The virulent bacteria produces smooth colonies that kill the mice and caused pneumonia.

When Griffith mixed the on virulent bacteria and heat killed virulent bacteria he found that the mice were killed. He concluded that there was transforming principle that turns the non- virulent bacteria into virulent bacteria from the heat killed bacteria. Something, has been transferred from the heat killed bacteria to the non- virulent bacteria. Later, he found that dead mice blood sample contained both the non-virulent rough bacteria strains and virulent smooth strains of bacteria.

Why are some of Carl Linnaeus’s classifications of organisms incorrect?. A.Linnaeus did not study the anatomy of organisms.. B.L
Soloha48 [4]

Answer;

D) Linnaeus primarily used physical characteristics.

Explanation;

-Carolus Linnaeus developed naming system that is still used today, called binomial nomenclature. He is known as the Father of Taxonomy,  which is the system of classifying and naming organisms.  

-Among is contribution is the development of a hierarchical system of classification of nature, which includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

-However, some of Carl Linnaeus's classifications of organisms were incorrect because Linnaeus primarily used physical characteristics.
