The new hydrophilic amino acid would not form the same interactions with hydrophobic R groups. As a consequence,   protein's 3D structure would likely be affected.

Different types of amino acids have different properties and thus form different interactions. For example, hydrophobic amino acids (water-repelent) such as alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, cysteine and methionine. participate in van der Waals type of interactions. They often form the hydrophobic core of the protein which doesn’t interact with water surrounding.

On the other hand, hydrophilic amino acids (arginine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartat..) are polar, can dissolve in the water and can join the hydrogen bond network.

What is the importance of crossing-over?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

b.It increases the likelihood that daughter cells contain different genetic material.

Explanation:

Morgan and Cattell for the first time used the term ‘crossing over’.  Crossing over takes place during prophase I of meiosis. During crossing over, chromosome segments of non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes get exchanged. As a result, the daughter cells acquire different genetic materials. Thus, it provides genetic variation by creating a new combination of genes or get recombination and produces hybrids.
