what molecules will be best used to compare different species with the exact same sequence of amino acids? why would two species

have the same protein even if the molecules in question is different? (hint: transcription to translation to protein).

Ans.

Protein synthesis involves formation of proteins, during which information present in DNA is used to make polypeptide chains. Hence, amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain is determined by the sequence that may differ in different species having proteins with same amino acid sequence.

Thus, the molecules that are used to compare different species with proteins having exact same amino acid sequences are DNA molecules.

Protein synthesis includes two steps, transcription and translation. During transcription, DNA gets converted into RNA by RNA polymerase enzyme, while during translation, RNA provides information to make proteins.

In RNA information is present as triplets of nucleotides, known as codon. Each code codes for a specific amino acid. There are a total of 64 codons, while number of protein-forming amino acids is 20. Hence, one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon and this property of codons is known as degeneracy of codons.

Thus, two species may have the same protein even if their DNA molecules are different because of degeneracy of codons.

Active transport makes it possible for cells to:______.
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

e. All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

Active transport is a type of transport in living systems in which molecules/ions/substances are moved or transported against their concentration gradient i.e. from a region where the substance is LOW to a region which it is HIGH, across a membrane. Since molecules are transported across a memembrane against their concentration gradient, an energy input in form of ATP is needed to do so.

Active transport is used in living systems to transport out secretory products and waste material against concentration gradients, take up nutrients from the environment against concentrations gradients etc. Since ions are substance moved by active transport from a low region to high region, there is an imbalance in the intracellular concentration of ions, such as Na, K etc.

Since there is no equilibrium in the concentration of ions on opposite sides of the membrane, an electric potential is formed across the membrane i.e. one part of the membrane will be more positively charged than the other.

ValentinkaMS [17]
<span>These are the three most common types of stresses that occur at different types of plate boundaries. 

Compression- convergent boundaries
Tension- divergent boundaries
Shear- transform boundaries 

Therefore, Compression, or compressing stress, is the major type of stress that occurs at convergent plate boundaries.</span>

Why are viruses called obligate intracellular parasites?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

they servive only in living cells.

Explanation:

the virus are connecting link between living and non-living. they are unable to perform life process outside the living cells. outside the living cells, the viruses behave as simple chemical so they are called as obligate intracellular parasite.
