A trait is the organism's feature. So, a trait would be eye color. A phenotype would be hazel. An allele is a gene. It can be recessive or dominant.

Allele means a form of gene which gives rise to characteristics or traits. traits on the other hand mean a phenotype a person has. the green colour of a pea is the example of its trait and the genes responsible for the colour are examples of its alleles

Schizocoelic development

The coelom is a fluid-filled body cavity, where the internal organs are suspended in. It is the cavity between the wall of the body and the digestive tract.

In the schizocoelic development of the embryo, the coelom, called the schizocoel, develops as a split in the mesoderm. The outer layer of the mesoderm attaches with the ectoderm to form a body's musculature, while the inner layer attaches with the endoderm to form the wall of the digestive tract. 

This type of development is commonly found in annelids, arthropods, and mollusks.

The ileum contains ________ that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.
Ivanshal [37]

The ileum contains villi that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.

Villi are small finger-like structures that project into the lumen of the small intestine. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal walls for easy and quick absorption of digested food with the addition of digestive secretions. Villi vary in length from about 0.5 to 1 mm. They are usually found in large numbers at the beginning of the small intestine and they reduce toward the end of the tract.

where they execute important functions. The polypeptide chain of these proteins must cross the lipid bilayer. This presents a pr
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

In this case, it is likely that the polypeptide chain assumed an alpha helix configuration because the lipid bilayer did not have beta-barrel proteins.

Explanation:

A polypeptide chain is naturally polar, however, a lipid bilayer is naturally non-polar. This makes it difficult and even prevents the polypeptide chain from crossing a lipid bilayer, since the composition of these two elements does not allow them to mix. In that case, the polypeptide chain has two options to take to successfully cross the lipid bilayer.

The first option that the polypeptide chain has is to allow the creation of twisted beta sheets in the shape of a closed barrel in its structure. This only works if the lipid bilayer has beta barrel proteins in its composition to act as a transport channel for the polypeptide chain. However, few lipid layers have this protein.

Most likely, the polypeptide chain assumes an alpha helix conformation to cross lipid bilayers that do not have beta-barrel proteins. By assuming the beta conformation, the polypeptide chain reinforces the hydrogen bonds present in its composition, allowing it to cross the lipid bilayer without having its conformation and structure disassembled.
