A mother is nursing her infant. Of the 20 amino acids that exist, 9 would be considered essential for the mother. How many amino

acids would be considered essential for her infant?
Biology
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. 20 different amino acids are present in various combinations in different proteins. Humans are incapable of synthesizing some amino acids. These are called the essential amino acids as they must be provided in the diet.

Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine are the nine amino acids that are not synthesized in the body of adult humans and therefore, are categorized as essential ones. Arginine is a non-essential amino acid for adult humans but is essential for adult humans. Therefore, for an infant, more than 9 amino acids are essential ones.

How are vaccinated individuals protected against a virus?
aleksandrvk [35]
Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, does not cause illness, but it does cause the immune system to produce T-lymphocytes and antibodies. Sometimes, after getting a vaccine, the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms, such as fever. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity.

Why can't both strands of DNA be replicated at the same time?
saw5 [17]

Answer: DNA is a molecule made up of two strands, twisted around each other in a double helix shape. The two strands are complementary which have a 5 prime end and a 3 prime end. To understand this question you must first understand the steps that follow.

DNA Replication:

<u>Step one: </u>

DNA Helicase (unzips) separates the strands.

<u>Step two:</u>

DNA Primase starts the process and makes a small piece of RNA called a primer. This marks the starting point for the DNA.

<u>Step three:</u>

DNA Polymerase binds to the primer and will make the new strand of DNA. DNA Polymerase can only add DNA bases in one direction, from the 5 prime end to the 3 prime end.

  • The leading strand is made continuously.
  • The lagging strand does not run continuously because it runs in the opposite direction. Each fragment is started with an RNA primer. DNA Polymerase then adds a short row of DNA bases from the 5 prime to 3 prime direction. This results in okazaki fragments because it can only replicate in small chunks. The process is repeated.

<u>Step four:</u>

Once the new DNA is complete the enzyme exonuclease removes all the RNA primers from both strands of DNA.

<u>Step five:</u>

Another DNA Polymerase fills in the gaps that are left behind with DNA.

<u>Step six:</u>

DNA Ligase seals up the fragments in DNA, in both strands to make a continuous double strand.

<u>Final answer:</u>

DNA Replication cannot replicate at the same time due to the leading and lagging strand.

Good luck!
