There are thousands of proteins in human bodies, each protein structure is determined by its amino and sequence. Different DNA coding eventually leads to a different protein being made, with a different structure.

Shape affects the function of the protein. The reason that hemoglobin and hair have different structures is because they are composed of the same amino acids (there are only about 20 amino acids), BUT the amino acids are in a different order, which was specified earlier by the DNA.


 

Proteins are large molecules formed from chains of amino acids. Depending on how those amino acids are put together(order/structure), different proteins can be made.



different DNA coding eventually leads to a different protein being made, with a different structure.  

explanation:  

DNA codes for the proteins we and all living organisms make. Different nucleotide sequences in the DNA will lead to different proteins being synthesized.  

This is the process of protein synthesis in short:  

DNA --> mRNA --> tRNA --> amino acid chain --> protein.  

DNA- doesn’t leave nucleus. it is transcribed to mRNA.  

mRNA- messenger RNA directs which sequence of amino acids in translation.  

rRNA- ribosomal RNA, the location of the protein synthesis.  

tRNA- transport RNA; this has an ANTICODON that will match up to the CODON (group of three nucleotides); adds an amino acid to the amino acid chain. the amino acid it adds on is specified by the codon. for example, if the codon read GUA [I hope you're familliar with the whole ATGC DNA stuff...], then the anticodon, which is complimentary to the codon, would read CAU, and also carry the amino acid (in this case, valine). DNA is usually very long, so many codons will match up with many anticodons on the tRNA, which will then "drop off", or add another amino acid to the chain.  

The order of the amino acids will affect the way that amino acid chain bonds to itself-- it will twist (or whatever it does) in a certain way, which will affect its shape.  

Shape affects the function of the protein. The reason that hemoglobin and hair have different structures is because they are composed of the same amino acids (there are only about 20 amino acids), BUT the amino acids are in a different order, which was specified earlier by the DNA.

What is the sequence of defense for fighting off pathogens
LenKa [72]
When a pathogen comes in contact with your body, it has to breach the first line of defense to get inside. Your skin and mucus membranes are the main barrier here. Mucus traps the pathogens, and then is forced out of your body when you cough or blow your nose. Your skin also secretes chemicals that have antiviral properties, killing viruses on contact. If the pathogens get through that defense, the next line is non-specific immunity cells that patrol your tissues engulfing pathogens. There are other cells that do this, like macrophages, but the dendritic cells are most important for activating the third line of defense in your body.

Dendritic cells reside in your tissues, waiting for an invader to arrive. When they do find one, they engulf it and digest it. After they do this, they select pieces of the invader called antigens and put them on their surfaces. The dendritic cells migrate back to lymph nodes, key locations in your body filled with immune cells. There, they show the antigens, called antigen presentation, to two types of lymphocytes, T-cells and B-cells, activating them for a full immune response.

2. Explain how similar and different sexual reproduction in plants and animals is?
muminat

Answer:Both plants and animals reproduce sexually, producing a male and female gamete, which fuse to form a zygote. However, plants are also able to reproduce asexually, unlike most animals. ... In sexual reproduction in animals, the two gametes are the spermatozoa and the oocyte, which when fused become the ovum.

How do humans use their genes to produce more than 22,000 proteins?
Citrus2011 [14]
Dna, is all in the Dna. The Dna is made of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine which codes for mrna. The mrna codes for amino acid and proteins are made of amino acids. In response to the gene, a gene is a basically a small part of dna in a certain order that codes for specific traits
