Capsid is the component of a virus that is lacking in its cell

A capsid is the protein shell that surrounds a virus. Capsids functions by protecting the nucleic acids of a virus while interacting with the host environment. Capsids are made up of many oligomeric structural subunits that contains the protein; protomers. Capsids are generally grouped based on their structure. The common ones are helical and icosahedral.

What property makes phospholipids ideal building blocks for cell membranes?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The polarity of the phospholipid makes it ideal for a building block of cell membranes.

Explanation:

There is the tails which are hydrophobic (water fearing) and the heads which are hydrophilic (water loving). These properties of phospholipids allow the tails to go towards eachother and heads to face the water which maintains a solid structure allowing certain materials to pass through.

Several organisms have a homologous protein (inherited from a common ancestor) that is highly similar at the amino acid level. Y
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.

Explanation:

  • Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
  • A Gene is made up of a  Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
  • This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
  • The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
  • Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
  • The Genetic Code is a table which represents the  amino acid encoded by each codon.
  • However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
  • This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
  • In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
  • This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
