Answer:

His

Explanation:

  • His is the short-form for the amino acid Histidine.
  • Histidine has imidazole as its functional group.
  • When it is in the protonated then the pKa of the side chain is 6 which lies in the physiological pH range of around ph6.
  • Due to this the catalysis of many enzymes have involves histidine for proton transfer. Histidine has the ability to abstract protons from amino acids such as cysteine, serine and threonine.
  • The abstraction of proton takes place with the help of the basic nitrogen present in histidine which abstracts the protons from the targets and then another molecule is used to act as a buffer and proton is abstracted from the acidic nitrogen.

11. If a single mutation turns off the growth of some pairs of legs within an organism, what's most likely affected?
Lana71 [14]
The answer is hox gene.

Hox genes are responsible for an embryo's body plan. They determine different body structures - legs, vertebrae, antennae, wings, depending on groups. Mutation in hox genes is serious mutation since it affects the early stages of embryo and consequently, normal development. If a mutation occurs in the hox gene for legs growth, the legs will not develop.

You have a plant with yellow seeds, which express a dominant phenotype. How would you determine the plant's genotype? Conduct a
Archy [21]
The answer is <span>Conduct a test cross with a purebred recessive plant. 

</span>

Test cross is the cross between an organism with unknown dominant genotype and an organism with known recessive genotype.

<span>Since dominant trait results from a dominant allele, the test cross can determine if an unknown genotype is heterozygous and homozygous dominant. </span>

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allele, then AA is dominant homozygote, Aa is a heterozygote, and aa is recessive homozygote.

<span>According to the Punnett square, if all of the offspring are heterozygote (Aa), then unknown genotype is dominant homozygous (AA). If half of the offspring are the heterozygote, and the other half are recessive homozygote, then the unknown genotype is heterozygote (Aa).</span>
