Answer:

 d. Lysine is replaced by tryptophan (nonpolar)

Explanation:

Amino acid substitutions can have varying affects on the protein function, depending on the specific substitution and the location of the substitution.

If the substitution occurs in an important region, for example an enzyme active site, then the function of the protein could be destroyed.

Additionally, if the substitution replaces the amino acid with a highly different amino acid with different properties (eg. polarity), it could alter the structure and function of the protein.

Replacing lysine (polar) with a tryptophan (non-polar) changes the properties of the amino acid at that location, whereas the other substitutions do not.

According to slide 12, what is the relationship between opportunistic infections and the number of T cells a person has? Explain
podryga [215]

Answer:

The fewer number of T cells a person has, the more chances to be affected by an opportunistic infection. When the number of T cells reaches 200 cells/µl, the person is at risk of being infected by other infections.  

Explanation:

The whole immune system of a person who is infected with HIV infection seems to be severely affected.  When the person is not treated or the disease is in a very advanced stage, the depletion of the T- cells turns to be very sharped, especially CD4+ T cells. At this point, the immune system can not resist the attack of other microorganisms. The <em>lower is the number of CD4+ T Cells, the higher possibility the person has to be attacked by opportunistic infections. </em>

Classically, it has been suggested that opportunistic infections appear after the CD4 + T lymphocytes reach very low levels, such as 200 cells/µl. The number of circulating T cells can be used as an indicator and a measure of global "immune competence", and the previously mentioned amount of CD4 + T cells is an accepted universal reference used to predict the risk of having one of these opportunistic infections.

Why do areas of lower pressure usually experience stormy weather
alina1380 [7]
The air begins to rise into the atmosphere. When air rises, it cools down and condenses into precipitation and clouds. This is why an approaching low pressure system means an increased chance for clouds, rain, or snow. It is called "low pressure" because as air rises, the air pressure is lower at the surface.
