Answer:

Explanation:

A multi-subunit protein is a good example of a quaternary-structure protein. A quaternary structure protein is often defined as a unit composed of different polypeptide sequences or chains (often called subunits). The most common interactions observed in these conformations are chemical interaction between the “R” groups in the amino acids that composed the proteins. These interactions are mostly weak interactions (such as London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonds). Therefore, option D is correct.

I hope this clarify your inquiry.

How does the models support the idea that genetic mutations may arise from environmental factors?

Vanyuwa [196]

The chemical tags that are attached to DNA, known as the epigenome, can potentially be altered by the environment. These tags change the amount of protein that is produced from the genes by making them more or less active.

Traits are frequently influenced by environmental factors rather than genetics. Although not always. Sometimes a gene's DNA sequence or degree of activity is altered by the environment.
The proteins that a gene produces can be replaced by either of these effects, which in turn impacts characteristics.
The nucleotide sequence of a gene may alter as a result of some harmful environmental influences. DNA strands, for instance, can be damaged by UV light.
Certain pollutants, such as those found in plastic and cigarette smoke, can change how DNA bases behave chemically, allowing one DNA base to stand in for another.

DNA compaction into chromosomes is dependent upon a family of proteins called histones. These essential DNA organization protein

irinina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The history protein H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 forms an octamer ( 2 each of the four histones) around which the DNA is wrapped. They help in packaging the DNA allowing for compaction of the DNA

Linker histone H1 and a length of DNA (linker DNA) links two nucleosomes together and they also play essential role in chromatin strucrure, stabilizing it and also modulating accessibility of the DNA to biological processes.
