Answer:
Explanation:
The switch from glutamic acid to valine in position 6 of hemoglobin (HB) forms the basis of sickle cell anemia disease pathology.
Valine is hydrophobic and it's chain is shorter than glutamic acid. The lack of the carboxylic acid and shortness of valine will result in loss of the ionic interactions formed between the glutamic acid's carboxylic group and other amino acids. A hydrophobic cavity will form in the beta sheet of HB due to the short and hydrophobic structure of valine. For these reasons, the HB molecule will be less stable and insoluble in water. The insolubility is thought to be caused by fibril formation between the valine interacting with hydrophobic pocket residues of the adjacent HB molecule. This would in turn affect binding of oxygen to HB.
Answer:
codon
Explanation:
A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis.
Answer:
A lighting producing organ to attract mates and prey.
Explanation:
Camouflage would do very little for a fish that spends most of it's day in the middle of a dark ocean. Mimicking other deep sea creatures would actually be more of a disadvantage than an advantage, as the sounds would be more likely to scare away potential prey, rather than attract them. A light however, would attract the prey's curiousity and urge them to check out the light.
Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
Yes, the light reactions also depend upon the Calvin cycle. Calvin cycle refers to a phenomenon that is used by the plants and algae to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugar, the food needed by the autotrophs in order to grow. The plants rely upon the Calvin cycle for food and energy.
In the given case, the rate of oxygen production would get diminish as the rate of ATP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes. Of all the outcomes of the Calvin cycle, ADP and NADP+ are the only ones that get utilized by light reactions.
The ADP and NADP+ are used up by the light reactions to fuel their reactions. This illustrates that if the rate of ADP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes the production of oxygen by the light reactions also diminishes.
