The configuration is a concept that is related to the order (poition) by which different substituents linked to the same central atom, in the case of amino acids, around the central carbon atom. So, amino acids can be divided in two groups, L- and D- forms, analogous to left-handed and right-handed configurations.  

On the other hand, protein folding (folded structure of peptides) is the physical process by which a protein chain acquires its conformation (3D structure) that is usually biologically functional.

Which characteristics do hookworms and tapeworms share? Check all that apply.

The answer is; B and D

Tapeworms (Cestoda) are called flatworm (Platyhelminthes) while hookworms are roundworms (Nematodes). Both are parasites and live within the intestines of animals and feed on the nutrients digested in the organ. When these worms migrate to other parts of the body, they cause complications, The more of this parasite one has the heavier the symptoms they will exhibit – such as asthma-like symptoms.

Describe what will happen to the wave as it goes through the hole. what do we call this?​
kari74 [83]

Diffraction occurs when a wave moves through an opening in a barrier. This causes the wave to change direction and spread out.

Waves can behave in three different ways depending on the obstacles they encounter. They can reflect, refract or diffract. In diffraction, waves such as sound, light or water either bend around small objects that obstruct their passage or spread out as they travel through a gap in the barrier.

The degree of diffraction forms a direct relationship with wavelength. It generally increases as wavelength increases. Conversely, the amount of bending lessens as wavelength decreases. However, if the opening of the barrier is smaller than the wavelength, the effect of diffraction is not easily observed. Hope this helps.

Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

D) The structural genes will be transcribed continuously.

Explanation:

Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome.  If she moves the operator to the far end of the operon, past the transacetylase (lacA) gene, the structural genes will be transcribed continuously.

A structural gene is a gene that codes for any RNA or protein product other than a regulatory factor (i.e. regulatory protein).
