The two factors that determine the shape of a protein 
1. Primary structure. The sequence of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. It is a strong of linearity that can be thousands in length. Moreover, the formation of the amino acid and its system is influenced by its genes’ nucleotides arrangement. 
2. Hence the next factor is how is the structure of the amino acids bended and folded with itself that forms the certain protein molecule and forms the larger complex structure

The molecular clock has limited usefulness for estimating divergence times among species in part due to the saturation of DNA se

Greeley [361]

Answer:

In highly diverged lineages, the substitutions process will occur at sites that have been substituted previously.

Explanation:

Molecular clock uses the mutation rate to reduce the time in prehistory when the life forms are diverged. The molecular clock uses the sequence of amino acids and nucleotide sequence for the DNA.

This clock does not measure any time but the number of mutations, and other changes over certain time. Sometimes its useful property might be limited due to the highly diverged lineages.

How does static electricity result in cloud-to-ground lightning

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

When the positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning - occurs between the two charges within the cloud. This is like a static electricity sparks you see, but much bigger. Most lightning happens inside a cloud, but sometimes it happens between the cloud and the ground.

Do you think graphite would most likely display cleavage or fracture? Explain

Brums [2.3K]

In graphite, carbon atoms are arranged in layers. Graphite has cleavage because the weak bonds between the layers break easily. Add a description wheel for fracture in your notebook.

Which are functions of lipids?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Ok first of you need to know what a lipid is. A lipid is a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This includes waxes, steroids etc. Lipids are important for living cells. Together with carbohydrates and proteins, lipids are the main constituents of plant and animal cells. Cholesterol and triglycerides are also considered lipids.

So I would go with C.

Hope I helped. :)
