Disulfide bonds are important in determining and stabilizing protein structure. Which amino acid, if mutated, will affect the fo
elixir [45]

Answer:

c. cysteine

Explanation:

Cysteine is a non essential amino acid. It contains sulfur in form of thiol group. A disulfide bond or bridge is formed between two thiol groups. It is represented as S-S. It is formed by oxidation of two cysteine molecules. The resultant disulfide bond is called as cystine which connects two polypeptide chains.

Cysteine is the only amino acid capable of forming disulfide bridge. It stabilizes protein's globular structure and plays an important role in protein folding and stability. Cysteine is required for protein synthesis, metabolic processes and detoxification. It is the part of beta-keratin which is the main protein in nails, hair and skin. If cysteine is mutated, formation of disulfide bond will be affected.

What does it mean to say that an allele is "fixed" in the population?
Gemiola [76]
Alleles are the individual genes that give rise to certain characteristics in an organism.

When an allele is "fixed" to a population, this means that the characteristic will be constant & most likely will not change until the environment changes as well.

Like with arctic hare, the alleles that influence the color of their coats (white in the winter & brown in the spring/summer) will stay because any fur pattern other than the aforementioned characteristics with result in becoming someone else's food with the lack of camouflage.

Hope that helps!
