The molecule pictured below produced a blue color when tested with Benedict’s reagent, a yellow color when tested with IKI, and

a violet color when tested with Biuret reagent. Based on the structure shown below and these chemical results, what kind of biomolecule is this? the molecule a blue color with benedicts reagent.no color change that given molecule is not a simple carbohydrate

Answer:

The molecule is a protein

Explanation:

When the molecule was tested with benedict's solution and a blue color was formed, that actually meant there was no colour change because the colour of benedict's solution is blue. Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of reducing sugar, which changes it's colour to green, orange, yellow or even red; <u>the fact that there was no colour change shows the molecule is not a reducing sugar</u>.

Yellow colour when tested with IKI (Iodine-potassium iodide) also shows no colour change. IKI reagent is used to determine the presence of starch, which gives off a dark-blue colour if starch is present. Hence, <u>absence of this dark-blue colour or observation of a yellow/orange colour shows the molecules is not starch</u>.

Biuret reagent is used to test for peptide bonds in a molecule. In the presence of a peptide bond, the biuret reagent changes colour from blue to violet. The amino acids in proteins are held together by peptide bond, hence the biuret colour change shows that the biomolecule is a protein.

How is a clade differentiated from another clade
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

A clade is a grouping that includes a common ancestor and all the descendant species of that ancestor. Clades are differentiated visually based on where they branch off from one another.

Explanation:

A clade is a grouping that includes a common ancestor and all the descendants (living and extinct) of that ancestor. Using a phylogeny, it is easy to tell if a group of lineages forms a clade. Imagine clipping a single branch off the phylogeny — all of the organisms on that pruned branch make up a clade.

Clades are nested within one another — they form a nested hierarchy. A clade may include many thousands of species or just a few. Some examples of clades at different levels are marked on these phylogenies. Notice how clades are nested within larger clades

How can we recognize non-renewable resources and work to preserve them as long as possible?​
Lerok [7]
A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a quick enough pace to keep up with consumption. One way to preserve them as long as possible is to decrease the use of them or use renewable resources instead.

Which statement identifies an example of a genetic factor that could influence the growth or development of an organism created
qaws [65]

Answer:

fertilizer creating a mutation among a farmer's crops

Explanation:

A genetic factor is one that affects the gene or genome of an individual organism. This genetic factor often influences the observable trait called PHENOTYPE of the organism. In this case, an example of a genetic factor that could influence the growth or development of an organism created by an environmental factor is the "fertilizer creating a mutation among a farmer's crops"

The fertilizer represents the environmental/chemical factor which is creating the genetic factor (mutation) that will eventually influence the growth or development of the crops.

In a population of mice, the presence of black spots is the result of a homozygous recessive condition. If the frequency of the
Greeley [361]

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allel, than:

p is frequency of A allele, q is a frequency of a allele, p2 is a frequency of homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous genotype and q2 is frequency of homozygous recessive genotype.  

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; p+q=1

p=0.15 q=1-0.15=0.85

2pq=2*0.15*0.85=0.255~26%
