The digestion of polypeptides begins in the mouth with the enzyme pepsin. T/F

Biology
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]2 years ago
3 0

The answer is:

False

Here is why:

What makes this statement false is "mouth." Polypeptide digestion starts in the stomach and it ends in the small intestine, in the duodenum to be more specific. Polypeptides cannot be directly absorbed by the body, so they are broken down into either individual amino acids, dipeptides or tripeptides so they can be absorbed.

What is recombination and how does it work? is it the same thing as crossing-over? if an organism practiced self-fertilization,
Sever21 [200]
Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange. 
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.

How can islands be created by plate tectonics
Tema [17]
One example is the country of Iceland which is a large island right on the mid-Atlantic ridge which is where the Atlantic oceanic plate is rifted in two and where the underlying magma wells up to the surface as the two sides to the plate move opposite to each other. The resulting volcanic rock then builds itself up into an island.
