What could happen if a mutation in a gene caused a hydrophobic amino acid in a polypeptide to be replaced by a hydrophilic amino

acid?

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.

10+6h=34 what does h equal?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:  h = 2.125

Explanation:

Simplifying

10h + 6h = 34

Combine like terms: 10h + 6h = 16h

16h = 34

Solving

16h = 34

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '16'.

h = 2.125

Simplifying

<h2>h = 2.125</h2>

Which of the following does not explain why if two people are exposed to the same high stress causing conditions, there is a lik
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Probably B

Explanation:

They all explain it, honestly, but B sounds the least like an answer they would accept as true. It's also kind of sus that they have 2 different answers about reacting differently to stress, and B is definitely the least likely of the two to be correct. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, I'm only here because I searched for the answer myself. Good luck.

Is cytokinesis a part of mitosis ?
stich3 [128]
Cytokinesis is part of M-phase, but not part of Mitosis. M-phase consists of nuclear division (mitosis) and cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). And yes, telophase is part of mitosis, so it's in M-phase <span>too.
