Answer and Explanation:

The father had 54% of the body covered by burns, since a little more than half of his body was burned. In addition, to calculate the percentage of body burn, the following values are considered: head, arms and legs - 9% torso front - 18% torso back - 18%. In addition, the father feels little pain in his legs (which had worse burns) because the third degree burn destroys the nerve endings, while the second degree burn only damages these endings promoting intense pain.

The daughter had 9% of her body burned by first degree burns, which corresponds to her lower limbs. These burns involve the skin and the epidermis, for this reason, we can say that the legs are the part of the daughter's body that has compromised hair and epidermis.

Describe some of the modifications that polypeptide chains undergo before becoming functional proteins
umka2103 [35]
Polypeptide chains undergo some modifications before they become fully functional. Some of these modifications include: proteolytic cleavage, lipidation and glycosylation. Proteolytic cleavage refers to the removal of some amino acids from a polypeptide chain by proteases in order for the protein to become active. An example of a substance that is modified through this process is insulin.
