d proline residue. B) highly polar or charged amino acid residues tended to be located interiorally. C) myoglobin was completely different from hemoglobin, as expected. D) the structure was very compact, with virtually no internal space available for water. E) the α helix predicted by Pauling and Corey was not found in myoglobin.

Answer:

D) the structure was very compact, with virtually no internal space available for water.

Explanation:

John Kendrew was the first scientist who determined the structure of the protein myoglobin and he won the Nobel price for his discovery. He and his colleagues examined the structure of the protein using the X-ray crystallography.  He defied myoglobin (oxygen-carrying molecule) as compact ( no water inside the molecule) with lack of symmetry. There were no channels in the protein and the internal volume was small. Hem group was located on the surface.

The diagram shows a bacterium. Which labels best complete the diagram
Sliva [168]

Answer:

X - Flagellum, Y - Bacterial DNA, Z - Cytoplasm

Explanation:

A bacterium is a living thing that are majorly known for causing diseases but are important for human life.

A bacterium is also consist of several organelles such as cell wall, cytoplasm, flagellum,  bacterial DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes and others.

The diagram shows three main organelles that are X - Flagellum, Y - Bacterial DNA, Z - Cytoplasm. Flagella functions for the locomotion of the bacteria, bacterial DNA is a genetic material of the bacteria, and cytoplasm is a gel-like matrix composed of enzymes, water, nutrients and other waste material.

Hence, the correct answer is "X - Flagellum, Y - Bacterial DNA, Z - Cytoplasm".

How do scientists produce new genetic variations not found in nature? by a transforming rna b using gel electrophoresis. c using
valentinak56 [21]
Scientists most often produce new genetic variations of organisms by causing mutations with radiation or chemicals and then selectively breeding in order to emphasize the desired traits in the new variations. The Dachshund is an example of this. By breeding two dogs with a similar mutation that caused student legs and elongated backs breeders were able to create a new variation not found in nature.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?
Ivan

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.


Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.

Genetic mutations pass to offspring in gametes because gametes A) are not germ cells. B) make up all internal organs. C) do not
Anni [7]
Because gametes (sex cells) are the only cells that pass along genetic information. Somatic cells are the cells that have already differentiated into various organs or tissues. They can't pass on a mutation to offspring because they're not involved in creating it.

The answer is D. They fuse during sexual reproduction
