Protein X is a protein that is composed of four subunits of equal size--alpha, beta, delta, and gamma--that are bound by either

noncovalent interactions or disulfide bridges. Only the beta and delta subunits are bound to each other by disulfide bridges. How many bands would you expect to see in an SDS PAGE experiment in which beta-mercaptoethanol, a reducing agent, is used?

Answer:

The correct answer is e3

Explanation:

The given protein in the question proteib X contain four subunits of equal size alpha,beta,delta and gamma which are bound by either noncovalent interactions or disulfide bridges and only beta and delta subunits are bound to each other by disulfide bridges.

  As a result when the protein will undergo fragmentation it will generate 3 bands because the interaction that is present between alpha and beta subunit will break resulting in the formation of 2 bands. Now the most important fact is that the beta subunit is linked to delta subunit by di sulfide bond so when betamarcaptoethanol will act on protein X it will break the disulsulfide bond present between the beta and delta subunit to reduce both the subunit.

  Finally the interaction that is present between delta subunit and gamma subunit will be broken down to release the delta subunit which will form a single band during SDS PAGE..

Identify the properties of heat as it relates to the molecules within a body
Brut [27]

At the molecular level, the heat comes from the agitation of the molecules and therefore their atoms. This increase in agitation causes the molecules to be less condensed between them and will separate after breaks in the intermlecular bonds. This distends the material, as we see when we heat a metal, or a transformation of the phase of the material, such as melting ice or boiling water.

Why human with heterozygous genotype will have the dominant phenotype?
AnnZ [28]

A human with heterozygous genotype can have a dominant phenotype if one of the alleles complete mask the effects of the other.

  • Heterozygous genotype involves two different alleles, unlike homzygous genotypes in which the alleles are the same.
  • When the two alleles of an heterozygous genotype exert equal effects on one another, they are said to be codominant.
  • When one of the alleles of an heterozygous genotype incompletely exert its effects on the other allele, it is said to be incomplete dominance.
  • When one of the alleles complete dominates and masks the effects of the other allele, it is said to be dominant.

Hence, a dominant allele will always produce a dominant phenotype even if the genotype of the organism is heterozygous.
