Answer and Explanation:

Protein is one of the most important molecules in our organism, being present in the composition of all elements, in addition to participating in several metabolic processes. This importance creates the need to study this molecule, however, to study it it is necessary to know the composition chemistry and the levels of structure it presents.

The chemical composition of proteins is related to amino acids, since protein is formed by them. In this case, we can say that the proteins have the same composition as the amino acids containing carboxylic acid and different amino groups, which is what determines the name and function of the amino acid.

In addition to chemical composition, the structure levels of proteins are extremely important, as they only function at a specific structural level. As for these levels, proteins can have a primary structure (there are more than two amino acids organized in a linear row), a secondary structure (when the primary structure turns into a helix species), a tertiary structure (formed by a more intense folding of the secondary structure providing the appearance of helices and leaves) and quarternary structure (when several tertiary structures are joined, allowing folding at the three-dimensional level. This is the functional structure of the protein).

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre una solución isotónica, hipotónica e hipertónica?

kherson [118]

Answer:

La solución isotónica significa que tiene el mismo potencial hídrico igual que la sustancia, la solución hipertónica significa que la solución tiene un potencial hídrico menor que la sustancia secundaria, la solución hipotónica significa que la solución tiene un potencial hídrico mayor que la sustancia.

What is paleobotany and what significance does this field have to our understanding of plants

stich3 [128]

Paleobotany is the study of plant fossils and remains. This can help us understand how plants lived long ago and how they were like.

Hope this helps ya!

Imagine that you attempted to recreate Mendel's work with garden peas. You began by crossing true breeding violet-flowered, tall

salantis [7]

Answer:

(a) 90

(b) 30

(d) 10

F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) is consistent with Mendel's law of segregation.

F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) and flower color (violet:white) is consistent with Mendel's law of independent assortment

Explanation:

The F2 phenotypes are supposed to be in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendelian law. The total number of F2 progeny is: 80 + 36 + 39 + 5 = 160

(a) Hence, the expected number of tall, violet plants will be:

9/16 x 160 = 90

(b) Expected number of tall, white plants will be:

3/16 x 160 = 30

(d) Expected number of dwarf, white plants will be:

1/16 x 160 = 10.

Total number of tall F2 plants = 80 + 36 = 116

Total number of dwarf F2 plants = 39 + 5 = 44

Expected ratio of tall:dwarf plants according to Mendel = 3:1

Expected number of tall plants = 3/4 x 160 = 120

Expected number of dwarf plants = 1/4 x 160 = 40

Chi square $X^2$

= $\frac{(observed frequency - expected frequency)^2}{expected frequency}$

$X^2$ for tall = $\frac{(116 - 120)^2}{120}$

= 0.1333

$X^2$ for dwarf = $\frac{(44 - 40)^2}{40}$

= 0.40

Total $X^2$ = 0.1333 + 0.4

0.5333

Degree of freedom = n - 1

2 - 1 = 1

Tabulated $X^2$ (α = 0.05) = 3.841

Since the tabulated $X^2$ is more than the calculated $X^2$ , the hypothesis that the F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) is consistent with Mendel's law of segregation is accepted.

Observed Expected $X^2$

tall, violet flowers 80 90 $\frac{(80-90)^2}{90} = 1.11$

tall, white flowers 36 30 $\frac{(36-30)^2}{30} = 1.2$

dwarf, violet flowers 39 30 $\frac{(39-30)^2}{30} = 2.7$

dwarf, white flowers 5 10 $\frac{(5-10)^2}{10} = 2.5$

Total 160 160 7.51

Degree of freedom = 4 - 1 = 3

Tabulated $X^2$ (α = 0.05) = 7.815

The tabulated $X^2$ value is more than the calculated $X^2$ value. Hence, F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) and flower color (violet:white) is consistent with Mendel's law of independent assortment.
