You know that neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Under normal conditions, protons and neutrons stick together in the nucleus. During radioactive decay, they may be knocked out of there. Neutron numbers are able to change the mass of atoms, because they weigh about as much as a proton and electron together.
Answer:
B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects the binding properties of another site on the protein.
Explanation:
In an allosteric interaction between a protein and a ligand, the ligand binds to a site in the protein. As a result, there is a change in the properties of other active sites on the protein. These active-site changes may or may not allow the protein to bind to other molecules. There is a change in the protein that affects the affinity of the active site for other molecules. The affinity on the active site increases if the protein binds to an activator and decreases if the protein binds to an inhibitor molecule.
Normal colour vision (trichromacy) refers to vision that uses all three types of light cones. People with defected trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and these conditions are called anomalous trichromacy. Three types anomalous trichromacy ( one type of cone perceives light slightly) :
1. Protanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to red light
2. Deuteranomaly - phenotype: reduced sensitivity to green light
3. Tritanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to blue
People can also have color blindess as the result of mutation, when loss of function of one cone occurs. This condition is called dichromacy. If there is complete color blindness or monochromacy, the person can’t distinguish any color from grey.
Color blindness is an inherited genetic disorder resulted from mutations on the X chromosome.
