Answer:
Prions are abnormally shaped proteins that cause spongiform encephalopathies. (Ans C)
Explanation:
Prions : Prions are proteinaceous infectious particle or misfolded proteins with the ability to transmit their misfolded shape into normal shape protein. They are also responsible for some neurodegenerative diseases in mammals. They can affect both animals as well as humans.
Prion disease occurs when normal prion protein (present on the surface of many cells) becomes clump (abnormal) in the brain. This accumulation of abnormal protein in the brain can cause disease.
Spongiform encephalopathies also called prion disease. Spongiform encephalopathies affect the nervous system and brain of animals & humans. It is caused by a degeneration of brain tissues giving it a spongy appearance.
A cofactor<span> is a non-protein chemical compound or metallic ion that is required for a protein's </span>biological<span> activity to happen. These proteins are commonly enzymes, and </span>cofactors can<span> be considered "helper molecules" that assist in biochemical transformations.</span>
It would be Glucose, because simple carbohydrates are sugars, and glucose is just another name for sugar.
Some examples of simple carbs are,
<span>-raw sugar,
-brown sugar,
-corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup,
-glucose, fructose, and sucrose,
and
<span>-fruit juice concentrate.</span></span>
Two factors that influence the phenotype are: (1) the specific genetic information of the individual (its genotype), and (2) environmental influences on the expression of the individual's genetic potential.
