Ribosomes are the RNA-protein enzyme complexes that synthesize proteins. There are no ribosomes inside the lumen of the secretor

y pathway. Instead, secreted and membrane-bound proteins are synthesized in the cytosol, but have short stretches of amino acids called "signal sequences" that target the newly-forming proteins to a special channel in the membrane of the ER that enables the movement of the newly-forming proteins into the ER. This "translocation" ceases if a protein sequence is reached that will be embedded in the plasma membrane. Protein synthesis will proceed, and the membrane-spanning sequence will eventually be embedded in the ER membrane. Which of the following features would such a transmembrane amino acid sequence have?
A. The amino acids would have mostly hydrophobic side-chains.
B. The amino acids would have mostly hydrophilic side-chains.
C.There's no way to predict the relative number of hydrophobic and hydrophilic side-chains in transmembrane amino acid sequences.

Answer:

mostly hydrophobic

Explanation:

A membrane is made of amphipathic molecules with the hydrophobic part pointing to the lumen and cytosol and the hydrophobic part (much bigger makes up most of the membrane) in the middle, the protein chains that are embedded in the membrane are thus mostly hydrophobic because the membrane is mostly hydrophobic and like likes like

Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to
maw [93]

The sexual reproduction helps in having more variation among the offsprings. It also makes the offsprings more resistant to genetic diseases.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sexual reproduction is the process by which the gametes of the species fused together to form zygote which develops into an offspring. This offspring produced has the gene from both the parents . This genetic setup is not only copied from the parents but they undergo the crossing over and independent assortment which leads to variation among the offspring itself as well as they differ from their parents too.

This variation among the offspring as well as the crossing over helps to eleminate the lethal genes from the genetic pool. Thereby they help to get more resistance among the offsprings from diseases.

Consider the diagram. mc002-1.jpg Which process is represented? nondisjunction translocation inversion insertion
sladkih [1.3K]

If this is the picture you are talking about, the right answer is non-disjunction

Non-disjunction is the non-separation of homologous chromosomes at the time of cell division which results in the formation of ova or spermatozoa leading to an abnormality in the number of chromosomes of the egg thus fertilized by the spermatozoa.

The fertilized egg consists of either a single chromosome, what is called monosomy, or, conversely, three chromosomes, this is called trisomy. While naturally, the fertilized egg has a single pair of chromosomes.

The process by which cells are drawn or attracted to an area by a microbe invader is known as ________.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

chemotaxis

Explanation:

Chemotaxis is movement of the organism in the response to the chemical stimulus.

Bacteria, somatic cells and single-cell as well as multicellular organisms direct  movements of their body according to some chemicals in the environment. This is very important for the bacteria to find the food by swimming toward highest concentration of the food molecules or also to flee from the poisons.

<u>Thus, it is a process by which various cells are drawn to the target area by a microbe invader.</u>
