The order in which the amino-acids are placed within the polypeptide determines the tertiary structure and therefore the function of the given protein. Amino acids have different functional groups like methyl(CH3), phenyl(C6H5). Those functional groups can interact with molecules like glucose determining reactions, the proteins that catalyze reactions are called enzymes. Other functional groups of amino acids can be the sulfate groups. For example, insulin has 2 polypeptide chains(Chain A has 21 amino acids, and chain B, 30). Between the two polypeptide chains, 2 disulfide bonds form altering its shape.
Answer:
The correct answer is - option C.
Explanation:
CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.
As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.
The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.
Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
Answer:
This method involves making observations, forming questions, making hypotheses, doing an experiment, analyzing the data, and forming a conclusion.
Explanation:
The scientific method has five basic steps, plus one feedback step:
1.Make an observation.
2.Ask a question.
3.Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.
4.Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.
5.Test the prediction.
6.Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions.
Atomic number Z = 8
as atomic number is equal to number of protons So, there are 8 protons in the oxygen 16 and oxygen 18
And number of protons is equal to number of electrons so there are 8 electrons in both oxygen 16 and oxygen-18.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
so, number of neutrons in oxygen-18 = 18 - 8 = 10
and number of neutrons in oxygen-16 = 16 - 8 = 8
