Which factor plays a central role in determining which of the brain's synapses will be eliminated and which will be maintained?

Biology
1 answer:
likoan [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is "frequency with which they are activated".

Explanation:

Frequency refers to the number of consecutive repetitive events per unit time. It is measured in hertz (Hz), equivalent to a single event per second. The time is the number of one cycle in a recurrent event, and so the duration is the same for the frequency, hence the frequency at which they are triggered is a key determinant of the brain's connections to be eliminated and maintained.

A protein biochemist attempted to determine the amino acid sequence of a decapeptide. Use the results from the trypsin, chymotry
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The possible sequence of the decapeptide is Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.

Explanation:

The cyanogen bromide cleaves the carboxyl end of Met (methionine and non-peptide). Trypsin cleaves on the C-terminal of Arg and Lys, however, not on the N-terminal of Pro, which signifies that Lys is the last amino acid in T2. Hence, Met-Val-Lys----. The middle part of the sequence can be predicted from the digestion done by chymotrypsin.

The chymotrypsin cleaves on the C terminal of Phe, Trp, Tyr, however, not on the N side of Pro. CT3 exhibit Lys, Met, Tyr, Val, as Met-Val and Tyr are the initial three amino acids, therefore, Tyr must be the fourth one. Now the sequence will be Met-Val-Lys-Tyr...

CT1 possesses Ala, Arg, Phe, Pro, as chymotrypsin cleaves the C side of the Phe, thus, the last amino acid should be Phe. Also, CT1 has Ala as the first amino acid. Also, trypsin does not cleave on the N-end of Pro. Thus, the sequence of CT1 strands will be Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.  

In CT2, chymotrypsin cleaves on the C-side of trp. Thus, the sequence of CT2 strands as Thr-Trp is found in the middle. Thus, the whole sequence of the decapeptide strand will be:  

Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.
