Answer:

The folding of polypeptide begin during translation of the polypeptide chain. Amino acids interact with each other to form three dimensional tertiary structure and secondary structure elements formed spontaneously as an intermediate before the formation of tertiary structure.

There are two common secondary structure elements formed that are  alpha helices(α helix) and beta pleated sheets ( β pleated sheet).  Both the structures are attcahed by a hydrogen bond which is present between amino hydrogen and carboxyl oxygen atoms in the peptide backbone.

Hence, the two common elements of secondary structure are alpha helices and beta sheets.

With the following crosses of pea plants, give the flower color of offspring and the ratio expected (blue is dominant). A cross
nikitadnepr [17]
3 blue, 1 white
Let blue be represented as B and white be represented as b
genotype of heterozygous blue plant: Bb
Cross = Bb x Bb
Possible genotypes of offspring: BB, Bb, Bb and bb
Thus, as can be seen, three of the four offsprings will be blue and one will be white.

Proteins, which are compounds made of nitrogen-rich amino acids, create waste products in the body of animals that must be elimi
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Ammonia is toxic to the body. Animals that live in water excrete their waste in ammonia (aqueous) form because it is less toxic when diluted. However, land animals need to convert the ammonia to a less toxic product such as urea before excretion. Ammonia is formed through deamination of amino acid.
