on? If proteins could fold only into rigid, inflexible structures, how might this affect the cell's ability to regulate their function? If proteins were inflexible, tertiary structures could not appear, so those proteins could not perform their function. If proteins were inflexible, cell structures could perform normally. If proteins were inflexible, peptide bonds would not be so stable compared to linkages in other types of macromolecules. So those proteins would not be able to perform their function. If proteins were inflexible, those which structure is aff

Answer and explanation;

-In many proteins, especially those involved in cell signaling, their structure is affected by binding to other molecules or ions. Since the Shape of the protein is directly involved in its function, the protein's activity is regulated by controlling how it is folded. If proteins were inflexible, this type of control could not occur.

-Proteins are highly variable in overall shape and chemical properties due to variation in the composition of R-groups and the array of secondary through quaternary structures that are possible. This variation allows them to fulfill many different roles in the cell. Diversity in the shape and reactivity of active sites also makes them effective catalysts.

Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a population of plants that have either purple flowers or white flowers, a
sattari [20]

Answer: natural selection

Explanation:Natural selection, gene flow, gene drift and mutation are the mechanisms for EVOLUTION.

The dominant purple allele must have been acquired from previous parent gene, by natural selection

Definitely the available   alleles from previous flower population were white and purple flowers. But, because the parents of purple flowers exhibit VARIATION, in their gene pool,  they showed dominance over  the recessive white colour flowers in the same population.  

◼ from Darwin’s observation and deduction, Organisms who acquired certain characteristics from variation  tend to survive than others, and therefore pass these inheritable characteristics to their offspring.

◼Thus the purple flowers dominated the population for the available resources, among the other flowers colours, (competitions) therefore it leads to a stable population in size after a period of time., while the white colour flowers are recessive

◼Darwin concluded that, variants of best adaptation will be selected for by natural conditions operating in the environment of the population at that particular period (natural selection).

Based on this, natural selection takes place, and the purple flowers with best variation will have selective advantage (dominance)above white colour flowers(recessive).

Consequently, they have higher survival rates compare to white flowers in the population this is   survival of the fittest by natural selection of purple flowers

The frequency of the white colour flower will reduced because of less manifestation of traits from generation to generation from reduced gene pool due to recessive trait, however the frequency of Purple flower will increase because the number of copies of allele of purple flowers is greater than the total number of all the flowers population( white flowers+purple)

What is a similarity between limestone, obsidian, and quartzite?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

It forms from sandstone that has come into contact with deeply buried magmas. Quartzite looks similar to its parent rock. The best way to tell quartzite from sandstone is to break the rocks. Sandstone will shatter into many individual grains of sand while quartzite will break across the grains.

Answer:

pulmonary circulation

Explanation:

The pulmonary circulation moves the blood between the lungs and heart. Since the blood carries oxygen the heart pumps it to every body part including the lungs so we can maintain homeostasis.
