As covalent bonds are strong it makes the sugar phosphate backbone a stable molecule which will HV less chances for a mutation while the huydrogen bonds exist for the ease of DNA replication as they are strong in a way but weak for the replication to take place easily.

Growth factors and cytokines both lead to tyrosine phosphorylation through receptors, but they do so through different mechanism
gladu [14]

Answer:

The growth factor receptors have a kinase domain while the Cytokines receptors do not contain a kinase domain as part of their structure.

Explanation:

The two are signaling molecules that control cell activities in some manners, such paracrine, endocrine and autocrine manners.

The receptor kinase domain can be specific for substrate sites in which phosphorylation occurs.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d. Tryptophan would bind to the repressor

Explanation:

However,the repressor would not be able to bind to the operator and switch off transcription.The cell would still be making tryptophan even though it is being supplied by the medium in which it is growing.This is a waste of energy.
