Answer:

The correct answer would be - seafood and fishes.

Explanation:

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the type of omega -3 which is a fatty acid that is great for health in improving good cholesterol, cardiac health, fight against inflammation and many other benefits.

The highest source of the EPA and DHA are seafood such as salmon Mackerel, Salmon, Herring, Cod Liver Oil, Caviar, Oysters, Sardines, Anchovies, and others.

Thus, the correct answer is - seafood and fishes.

Fish and seafood or marine sources are the highest food source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Among the marine sources, fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel and anchovy have the highest content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Explain what incomplete dominance is
Schach [20]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the organism ’s resulting physical appearance shows a blending of both alleles. It is also called semi-dominance or partial dominance. One example is shown in roses.

The earliest ancestors of about half of all extant animal phyla can be traced back to the _____ explosion. see concept 32.2 (pag
Vesna [10]
The answer is 'Cambrian' explosion. This took place approximately 541 million years ago. 'Explosion' refers to the evolution of a large range of new major animal phyla. Scientists know this by the large number of diverse fossils from this period. Prior to this period, organisms were single-celled, but over the Cambrian Explosion, lasting about 80 million years, life forms diversified rapidly to resemble the life forms existing today.

A frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have what effect on the protein's structure? see sectio
ExtremeBDS [4]
I think a frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have an effect on the structure of the protein such that the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered. A frameshift mutation occurs when a protein is drastically altered because of an insertion or a deletion. Insertions and deletions cause a change in the length of a gene, which causes a shift in the codon reading frame.

Starting with a protein that has been inserted into the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane with the Amino (N) terminal in the E
Vika [28.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

Ribosomes are the primary structure for protein synthesis. They can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol.  

Free ribosomes are not attached to any cytoplasmic structure or organelle. They synthesize proteins only for internal cell use. Other ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and they are in charge of synthesizing membrane proteins or exportation proteins. Free and attached ribosomes are identical and they can alternate their location. This means that although free ribosomes are floating in the cytosol, eventually, they can get attached to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.  

Synthesis of proteins that are destined to membrane or exportation starts in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a <u>signal aminoacidic sequence</u>. This signal sequence varies between 13 and 36 amino acids, is located in the <u>amino extreme</u> of the synthesizing protein, and when it reaches a certain length, it meets the <u>signal recognizing particle</u>. This particle joins the signal sequence of the protein and leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building. When they reach the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, the signal recognizing particle links to a receptor associated with a pore. Meanwhile, the ribosome keeps synthesizing the protein, and the enlarged polypeptidic chain goes forward the reticulum lumen through the pore. While this is happening, another enzyme cuts the signal sequence, an action that requires energy from the ATP hydrolysis. When the new protein synthesis is complete, the polypeptide is released into the reticulum lumen. Here it also happens the protein folding (which is possible by the formation of disulfide bridges of proteins are formed) and the initial stages of glycosylation (the oligosaccharide addition).  

Once membrane proteins are folded in the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum, they are packaged into vesicles and sent to the Golgi complex, where it occurs the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. The Golgi complex sends proteins to their different destinies. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organelle. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.  

There are certain signal sequences in the <u>carboxy-terminal extreme</u> of the protein that plays an important role during the transport of membrane proteins. A signal as simple as one amino acid in the c-terminal extreme is responsible for the correct transport of the molecule through the whole traject until it reaches the membrane.
