The secondary structure of proteins results because of _____ bonding between molecules in the protein molecules' backbone.

Biology

Answer:

Hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The newly synthesised proteins as a result of the process of translation are linear structures formed by linear arrangement of amino acids.

The linear structure of a protein is known as the primary structure which changes its conformation and take the shape of either the helix or the pleated sheet. This helical or pleated sheet structure is known as a secondary structure.

The secondary structure is formed due to the bond formed between the hydrogen of the carbonyl group and the amino group which form the backbone of the protein structure. The hydrogen bond causes the linear polypeptide to form spiral helical or bend pleated sheet.

Thus, Hydrogen bonding is the correct answer.

valkas [14]

Answer:

Each protein with a specific structure and function

The unique three dimensional shape of proteins is based on several superimposed levels of structure

Explanation:

Proteins are essential nutrients for human and a vital source of fuel for building body tissues. They are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. These amino acids act as precursor to nucleic acids, hormones, immune, repair of tissues among others.

Proteins contain 20 amino acids which are the building block for proteins. These amino acids can be reformed to create millions of protein in human body in which each protein has specific structure and function.

The three dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid chain is know as the protein structure. The precise shape formed determine the protein function.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

All the offspring have genotype RrTt

Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon

Explanation:

Given

Tallness ( T) is dominant to dwarfness (t)

Red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r)

It is given that heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color which means that the allels for color of flower show co dominance

Genotype of dwarf red snapdragon is RRtt

Genotype of a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers is rrTT

The punnet square representing the cross between RRtt and rrTT is as given below-

Rt     Rt         Rt     Rt

rT RrTt      RrTt RrTt    RrTt

rT RrTt      RrTt RrTt    RrTt

rT RrTt      RrTt RrTt    RrTt

rT RrTt      RrTt RrTt    RrTt  

Thus all the offspring have genotype RrTt

Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon

Do adult individuals stop growing? explain your thinking in detail​
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Although most adults won't grow taller after age 18 to 20, there are exceptions to this rule. First, the closure of the growth plates may be delayed in some individuals. If the growth plates remain open past age 18 to 20, which is uncommon, height could continue to increase.
