Luden [163]

Answer:

The correct option is A. Polycythemia Vera

Explanation:

Polycythemia vera is a myeloproliferative disorder of bone marrow hematopoietic cells that causes excessive production of all types of blood cells.

Primary erythrocytosis occurs as a result of polycythemia vera, in this myeloproliferative disorder the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells along with excessive amounts of white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow under normal conditions produces blood cells and contains the precursor cells of the three series: red blood cells, white blood cells or leukocytes and platelets or thrombocytes, this disorder is characterized by excessive or uncontrolled proliferation or growth of these cells. The increased production of red blood cells or erythrocytes is called erythrocytosis.

myrzilka [38]

The appropriate response is Smooth muscles. Smooth muscle is found in the dividers of empty organs like your digestion tracts and stomach. They work naturally without you monitoring them. Smooth muscles are associated with many 'housekeeping' elements of the body. The strong dividers of your digestive organs contract to push nourishment through your body.

2. (2 pts) According to the cladogram, which organisms develop in an “amniotic egg”?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The answer is primates, rodents/rabbits, crocodiles and birds.

Explanation:

Cladogram

A cladogram is a diagrammatic epresentation of the evolutionary relationships between organisms that emerged from the same ancestor. Basically, it shows how closely one organism is related to another.

A cladogram differs with a phylogenetic tree in the sense that a cladogram only shows evolutionary relationships between one ancestor and all its descendants. On the other hand, a phylogenetic tree explains relationships between many clades (group of related species)

A cladogram also identifies various evolutionary points or milestones of the development of certain characteristics.

According to this cladogram, the amniotic egg evolved before the emergence of the common ancestor of primates, rodents, crocodiles and birds.

Select the true statements about protein secondary structure.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

C.The β‑pleated sheet is held together by hydrogen bonds between adjacent segments.

Explanation:

Hello!

The most common secondary structures are α-helix and β-sheets. The structures are defined by regular hydrogen bonds formed between the N-H and C=O groups of the amino acids that form the chain. These structures form in segments of the protein as an intermediate before it folds into the 3D tertiary structure.

α helix 

It is a cylindrical structure that comprehends a helical backbone, while the side chains extend outward in a helical distribution. The α-helix stabilizes through hydrogen bonds between the amines and carbonyls groups of the backbone. Each carbonyl group forms a hydrogen bond with the amine group four residues later in the main chain. Thus, except for the amino acids near the end of the α-helix, all the carbonyls and amines groups in the main chain are linked by hydrogen bonds. Each residue corresponds to a translation of 1,5Ǻ and a turn of 100º this equals 3,6 residues per turn.

From the observer point of view, if the rotation of the helix is clockwise or right-handed, it's called dextrorotation and if the rotation is counterclockwise or left-handed it's called levorotation. Dexorotation or dextrogyre is the most common rotation of α-helixes in proteins. Levorotation or levogyre is very rare but can be found in proteins with a large content of achiral glycine.

β-sheets (β-pleated sheets)

This structure consists of at least two β-strands (polypeptide chains), the strands conform a backbone of three to ten amino acids in an extended formation that connects laterally with hydrogen bonds. The distance between adjacent amino acids in a β-strand is approximately 3,5Ǻ in contrast to the 1,5Ǻ distance of an α helix. The chains that form a β-sheet have directionality conferred by their N-terminus and C-terminus. Adjacent β-strands can form hydrogen bonds in antiparallel, parallel or mixed arrangements. In the antiparallel arrangement, the adjacent strands are said to have opposite directions (N-C vs C-N) this allows the bonds to be established between the amines and carbonyls groups of each amino acid with the carbonyls and amines of the adjacent amino acid. This way the bonds between carbonyls and amines are planar, which allows strong interstrand stability.

In the parallel arrangement, the adjacent strands have the same direction (N-C vs N-C). In this type of arrangement, each amine forms a hydrogen bond with the carbonyl of the adjacent amino acid, but its carbonyl group forms a hydrogen bond with the amine group of the amino acid two residues later.

I hope you have a SUPER day!
