Answer: Peptide bonds

Explanation: A peptide bond is a bond in which two amino acid molecules are covalently joined together. The reaction involves the removal of water molecule from alpha carboxyl group of one amino acid and alpha amino group of another amino acid to form a peptide bond. When many amino acids are joined by peptide bond, the product is a polypeptide or protein.

Answer:

water molecule

Explanation:

Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid.

Suppose a couple has come to see you to discuss the probability of their children having cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is known to be
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The children that the couple may have a 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of being carriers for the CF gene

Explanation:

We know that both parents are in the same situation. Let's start for example with the mother. She has one parent and one sibling with cystic fibrosis (CF). So, supposing that the allele of the gene that causes the disease is <em>"f"</em>,  as the disease is autosomal recessive, both, the parent and the sibling have the genotype ff.

Also, knowing that the other parent has a normal phenotype, but the sibling has CF, we deduce that the other parent of the mother must have a <em>Ff</em>.

So, <em>despite the mother's phenotype is normal, her genotype is Ff</em> (see the Punnett square 1) Couple's parents in the attached image). In other words, she is a carrier for the CF gene.

As the parents' situation is analogous, <em>we can deduce that the father also has a genotype Ff  </em>and is also a carrier for the CF gene.

Now, if we look at the Punnett square for them  (see the square 2) Couple in the attached image), we see that all their children will always have at least one copy of the CF allele, <em>f</em>.

More specifically, their children have 25%  chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of having a normal phenotype but being carriers of the CF gene.

People and most other animals wake up and go to sleep on a regular basis, at about the same time every 24 hours. what causes thi
ANTONII [103]
The light-dark cycle caused by the rising and setting of the sun is responsible for what are called circadian rhythms. These are biological processes that show a cycle of around 24 hours, the time between consecutive rising of the sun. Experiments have shown that without the external cue of sunlight, the circadian rhythms of organisms tend to break down. These can be reset by being re-exposed to these cues. Jet lag is due in part to a re-setting of the circadian rhythm, as you travel to a different time zone, your body has to become used to a different timing of night and day. <span>  </span>

What factors explain the difference in biodiversity between the tundra and the tropical rain forest?
Natali [406]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The difference in biodiversity between the tundra and the tropical rain forest would be that warmer temperatures and higher average rainfall in the tropical rainforest allow more things to survive. Hope this answers the question.
