Answer:
antimicrobial peptides
Explanation:
Antimicrobial peptides are short-chained amino acids that are produced as a result of the innate immune defense which can kill various pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The structure of these antimicrobial peptides consists of a large portion of hydrophobic residues along with positively charged residues such as arginine and lysine.
Antimicrobial peptides employ the use of various mechanisms to combat the pathogens that enter the body. Some of these mechanisms are ;
1. Destabilizastion of membrane.
2. Formation of transmembrane channels
3. Functioning as immunomodulators.
Answer:
0.5
Explanation:
Given, gene O results in production of pigment.
OO, Oo = Orange
oo = white
If Oo X oo :
O o
o Oo oo
o Oo oo
Half of the progeny will have Oo genotype so they will be heterozygous and will have orange fur. Other half will have oo genotype so they will be homozygous recessive and will have white fur. So the odds of having a white tiger cub is 0.5.
<span>Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, colored or colorless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.</span>
