The process of passing genetic material from one generation to the next depends completely on how cells grow and divide. To reproduce, a simple organism such as bacteria or yeast simply copies its DNA (through a process called replication) and splits in two. But organisms that reproduce sexually go through a complicated dance that includes mixing and matching strands of DNA (a process called recombination) and then reducing the amount of DNA in special sex cells to arrive at completely new genetic combinations for their offspring.

There are two basic kinds of organisms — ones with a nucleus and those without a nucleus (a compartment filled with DNA surrounded by a membrane called a nuclear envelope):

<span>Prokaryotes: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and therefore have DNA floating loosely in the liquid center of the cell. Prokaryotes divide, and thus reproduce, by simple mitosis.</span><span>Eukaryotes: Organisms that have a well-defined nucleus to house and protect the DNA. Eukaryotes divide by meiosis for sexual reproduction.</span>

An antibody has been isolated that binds to F-actin but not to G-actin. What structural feature(s) of F-actin do you suppose the

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

F-actin is a double helical filament as opposed to G-actin,which is a globular protein .Each actin filament has two ends,called the plus and

the minus ends, which makes it recognizable from each other.This gives the structure a distinct polarity.

Explanation:

Actin is the most abundant protein that is found in almost all eukaryotic cells.Its a most important part cytoskeleton as its a monomeric subunits(size 42kDa) of two types of filaments i.e. microfilaments and thin filaments in cells. Actin is essentially required to maintain stability and morphogenesis of cell.It is involved in numerous significant processes such as endocytosis,cell division and migration.Actin is present in two forms:

•G-actin

•F-actin

The two forms of actin are different structurally.

G- actin is a globular shaped protein,usually present in free form(a monomer),having a tight binding site for another actin monomer.Each monomer has ATP. Upon polymerization of G-actin monomers, a polymer called F-actin filaments is form. This process is driven by hydrolysis of ATP.

ella [17]

Answer: The enzymes are important to the digestive system because they help in BREAKING DOWN of food substances that contains fat, carbohydrates and proteins.

Explanation:

In the process of digestion, several substances are secreted into the duodenum which is the first part of the small intestine. The pancreas, through the pancreatic duct, secretes pancreatic juice. This juice contains several digestive enzymes which include:

--> Amylopsin- This helps in the breaking down of starch( CARBOHYDRATES) to maltose.

--> trypsin: this is a protease that helps in the breaking down of PROTEIN into polypeptide.

--> Lipase: This helps in the breaking down of FAT to carboxylic acids and glycerol.

All the above enzymes of the pancreatic juice require an alkaline medium to work in. This is provided by the bile which is secreted in the fall bladder.
