Answer: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

There are 20 standard amino acids which make up the human and other mammalian proteins. In a protein molecule, amino acids are held together by peptide bond which is formed between -COOH (carboxylic group) of one amino acid and NH_2 (amino group) of another amino acid.

They can be broadly divided as-

1) Charged amino acids

  • Lysine (K)
  • Arginine (R)
  • Aspartic acid (D)
  • Glutamic acid (E)  

2) Hydrophobic amino acids

  • Glycine (G)
  • Alanine (A)
  • Proline (P)
  • Leucine (L)
  • Isoleucine (I)
  • Methionine (M)
  • Phenylalanine (F)
  • Valine (V)

3) Polar amino acids

  • Glutamine (Q)
  • Histidine (H)
  • Asparagine (N)
  • Serine (S)
  • Threonine (T)
  • Cysteine (C)
  • Tyrosine (Y)
  • Tryptophan (W)

The correct answer is tympanometer. A tympanometer is not used to measure hearing, but to rather measure the transmission of energy through the middle ear. In this way, tympanometry is an objective test of the function of the middle-ear. Tympanometry is used alongside other measures to asses hearing, such as pure tone audiometry.

krok68 [10]
(1) All the genotypes are as follows: AABB, AaBB, AABb, AaBb, aaBB, aaBb, AAbb, Aabb, aabb.

(2) Assuming that Aa is dominant and Bb is recessive, there will be 9 phenotypes with both A and B allele dominant (i.e. AaBb, AABb); there will be 3 phenotypes with just the A allele dominant (i.e. Aabb, AAbb); there will be 3 phenotypes with just the B allele dominant (i.e. aaBb, aaBB); and there will be 1 phenotype with both alleles recessive (i.e. aabb). The phenotypic ratio in this case is 9:3:3:1.

(3) The probability of producing an offspring with the aabb genotype is 1/16 or 6%.

If you are in an emergency and there is no space to the side to steer out of the way of a crash, __________.
lana66690 [7]

The correct answer is controlled braking.

If someone suddenly pulls out in front of the person while driving, the natural reaction is to apply the brakes. Although, this is a good reaction if there is the adequate distance to stop and one applies the brakes accurately.

While in case of emergency stops, one should apply brakes in a way, which will maintain the vehicle in a straight line and permits one to turn if it becomes essential. For this, the person can use stab braking method of controlled braking.

In controlled braking, one applies the brakes as hard as one can without locking the wheels. There is a need to keep steering wheel movements very slight while attempting this. If one needs to make bigger steering amendments or if the wheels lock, release the brakes.
