Answer:

Fibrous

Explanation:

Proteins are assembled according to their functions. Fibrous proteins usually provide protection and support to cells. They are made up of polypeptides that have elongated shape and assembles in large cables or threads. These proteins are differentiated from globular proteins by their globular form and repeated units of amino acids.

For example the fibrous proteins involved in horns, hair and nails is alpha-keratin.  Elastin found in skin and ligament is also a fibrous protein. Collagen includes collagen fibrils that have tensile strength of steel is also a fibrous protein found in cartilages and bones.

A pea plant is heterozygous for both seed shape and seed color. S is the allele for the dominant, spherical shape characteristic
forsale [732]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

P1: SSyy

p2: ssYY

Explanation:

In the given question it is given that S is the allele for the dominant trait of spherical shape over s allele of dented shape and similarly Yellow pea seed is dominant over y green seed.

It is given that parent 1 or p1 is true breeding for green spherical shaped seeds which means it has two alleles of the same gene that are SSyy (S for spherical and y for green) and parent 2 or p2 is a pure bred plant with yellow dented shaped seeds that would be ssYY.
