The possible answers are:
A. Variation in length of the amino acid backbone
B. Each protein is encoded by a distinct gene
C. Variations in the type of peptide bond
D. Variations in the glycosidic linkage
E. Variation in tertiary structure
<span>F. Variations in which amino acids are used
The correct answers are A,E and F
There are only 20 amino acids that make all of the proteins in our bodies. However, there are options for protein variation are almost unlimited.
Firstly, you can vary the number of different amino acid that you use to make a protein.
Secondly, you can also vary the length of the amino acid chain.
And thirdly, when an amino acid chain is formed different parts of the chain interact with each other, bonding chemically, forming different 3-dimensional structures of the protein.
All of this contributes to the vast variation in proteins.</span>
The answer should be the third option "number of protons and neutrons." The atomic mass of a element is equal to the amount of protons, and neutrons added together in that element. So for example if we are trying to find the atomic mass of hydrogen you would add the total amount of protons and neutrons together to find it's mass although it doesn't equal the exact amount of it's mass but it's close.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Post-translational modification, alternative splicing, DNA mutations
Explanation:
The diversity of the proteome can occur at different levels of biological processes:
1. During DNA replication yielding DNA mutations.
2. At the mRNA level in Alternative Splicing.
3. After translation on amino acid molecules including addition of different types of sugars (Glycosylation). This is post-translational modification.
