Answer:

Disulfide linkage/bond

Explanation:

The tertiary and quarternary structure of the protein is stabilized by Disulfide linkage which is formed between two thiol groups in the protein. 2-mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent that breaks this disulfide bond.  

A protein becomes denature when it loses its native configuration and becomes inactive. So as 2-mercaptoethanol breaks disulfide bond in protein it looses its native configuration and becomes denatured. 2-mercaptoethanol  is used in SDS-PAGE to separate protein subunits. Therefore the correct answer is Disulfide linkage/bond.

What activity led to the formation of Grand Canyon
Dahasolnce [82]
Weathering and erosion played a big role in forming the grand canyon. The rock was being weathered, most likely mechanical weathering, and then it eroded away. Think of a pebble that is in running water. When you pick it up, it is smooth, right. But before, it was pointy. So, the grand canyon was once a big rock, and weathering broke through it making it one of the wonders of the USA.

What are the methods used to conserve biodiversity
iVinArrow [24]

With the actions of the humans the biodiversity is facing a huge problem in most of the world, the habitats are destroyed, forests are cleared, animals are killed, water and air are polluted...

In order to conserve the biodiversity there are certain things that have to be put in action. The methods for conservation can be in-situ methods and ex-situ methods.

The in-situ methods are the preferred ones, as these methods are focused on conserving the environment as it is. This basically means that the ares that have larger biodiversity, and especially where there's species that are rare, should be made national parks, sanctuaries, monuments of nature, thus being protected by law.

The ex-situ methods are the ones that involve the conservation of the species outside of their natural habitat. That is done with gene banks, sperm and ova banks, seed banks, zoos and botanical gardens, collections of In vitro plant tissue and microbal culture, and captive breeding of animals and artificial propagation of plants.
