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.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

<em>The overuse of pesticides</em>

Explanation:

Pesticides are usually sprayed on plants so that the pest organisms can be killed. But these chemicals sprayed on plants can be toxic for humans when humans consume crops which have been sprayed with pesticides. Also, erosion causes these toxic chemicals to get eroded in the nearby lakes. The chemicals in the pesticides are harmful for every life that uses this water. Hence, the overuse of pesticides might kill pests but it is also toxic for consumption by humans.

In fruit flies, the allele for vestigial wings is recessive to the allele for normal wings. In a generation of fruit flies, 18 m
Zina [86]
Mendelian genetics one of the fundamental laws is The Law of Independent Assortment. The law states that parental traits are passed independently from parent to child. The recessive trait, vestigial Wings, occurs in an approximate phenotypic ratio of 1.3. In monohybrid Cross of heterozygous (Rr) parents the expected phenotypic ratio correlates with the given 1:3 result therefore l can conclude that the parents are both heterogeneous (Rr) for vestigial wings. Normal Wings-R, Vestigial Wings (Parent 1) Rr* Rr (Parent 2) R*R- RR- Normal Wings (Child 1) R*r Rr- Normal WIngs (Child 2) r * R - Rr- Normal Wings (Child 3) r*r- rr Vestigial Wings (Child 4) 1 Vestigial Wings: 3 Normal Wings

Which of the following best describes cell communication processes that are present in bacteria, yeast, and multicellular organi
Savatey [412]

Answer:

They release chemical messengers to communicate with cells they may or may not be in direct contact with.

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms such as bacteria or yeast, 'talk' to each other through the release of chemicals. In bacteria, this is known as quorum sensing which allows them to determine the surrounding bacterial population density. In yeast, one of the more popular pathways is known as the mating factor pathway, which allow the organisms to find mates. Whereas, in multicellular organisms (such as humans), this chemical release allows for cell-cell co-ordination which keeps the system functioning correctly.
