Answer:
Explanation:
However, at very high salt concentration, the increased surface tension of water generates a competition between protein and salt ions for hydration. Salts strip off the essential layer of water molecules from the protein surface eventually denaturing the protein
Answer:
I believe that the best answer to the question: How is it that the same tertiary structure of a protein can result from different primary structures? Would be, B: None of the above.
Explanation:
This is probably the best choice from all the ones in the list simply because due to specific portions of the other answers they make the statement incorrect.
It will help to remember this: proteins have primary, secondary and tertiary structures because when they first emerge from the trascription process from mRNA, they are a simple string where the most important factor is the sequence of aminoacids. It is this sequence which will determine the folding factor. However, there is another factor that must always be kept in mind; environmental factors (temperature, medium where the protein is, as well as location where it is being produced) will also play a role on how the folding will happen and on which of the aminoacids.
The evolvement of a protein chain from its primary, to its secondary and then tertiary shape (the only functional, or known as native state) depends on which of the aminoacids in a specific sequence has the necessary elements to form bonds (hydrogen bonds) with others and thus start the folding process.
An allele is dominant and heterzygote (Pp) when a dominant allele (P) is crossed with a recessive allele (p).
Explanation:
A dominant allele is the one with a particular dominant character or phenotype which dominates even though there are other alleles found.
A heterozygous allele results from two different alleles coding for a gene.
A heterozygous dominant allele (Pp) results from the crossing of a dominant allele (P) with a recessive allele due to complete masking of the recessive allele (p).
For example, when dominant brown eyes are crossed with recessive blue eyes, in a heterozygous dominant allele results in brown eyes and masks the recessive blue eyes.
