A genetic factor for a trait that is always expressed when it is present is best

Consider two very distantly related species, Species A and Species B. These species live in distinct but similar environments an

never [62]

Answer:

convergent evolution

Explanation:

If we have two species that share a similar trait or look alike a lot, but they live in places isolated from each other, and they only have a very distant relation, then it is a case of convergent evolution. This type of evolution occurs with species that are not closely related, but they live in environments where having the same or very similar traits is advantageous. This can often lead to a confusion when looking at the species only on the outside, and it can be very misleading. As an example we can take the sabretoothed predators that existed in the past. Both the smiloden and the thylacosmilus had large saber like teeth, and even their bodies looked very similar, so one would assume that they are closely related, but that was not the case. The smilodon was part of the cat family, while the thylacosmilus was a marsupial, making them very distantly related. They developed same same and some very similar traits because their environment created the evolutionary pressure for those traits to develop as they were advantageous, despite them evolving in totally different places and separately.

Proteins may be classified according to their three-dimensional shapes. Determine whether the following examples and description

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

-often function as enzymes or transport proteins ⇒ globular proteins

-peptide chains arranged in long strands, or fibers ⇒ fibrous proteins

-peptide chains highly folded into spherical shapes ⇒ globular proteins

-keratins ⇒ fibrous proteins

-hemoglobin ⇒ globular proteins

-water-soluble ⇒ globular proteins

-collagens ⇒ fibrous proteins

-insoluble in water ⇒ fibrous proteins

-generally function in structure and support ⇒ fibrous proteins

Explanation:

Fibrous proteins are composed by large polypeptide chains which interact each other and form large structures. They have water insoluble and have structural and protection functions- they are components of cells and tissues. Examples are: collagen, fibronectin, keratin, elastin, actin.

Globular proteins have a spherical compact structure in which hydrophobic aminoacids are buried inside the structure and hydrophilic aminoacids (which can interact with water molecules) are exposed to the exterior medium. For this, they are water soluble. They have often transport and catalytic functions. For example: hemoglobin, mioglobin, albumin, enzymes in general.

A female rhesus monkey is exposed to testosterone in utero. As a result, the animal displays some defeminized behaviors as an ad

professor190 [17]

Answer:

organizational effect.

Explanation:

Organizational effect is a long-term effect of hormonal action typically occurring in fetal development or the early postnatal period that leads to permanent changes in behavior and neural functioning. For example, the presence of testosterone in young male rats leads to long-term male-typical behavior, and female rats can be masculinized by neonatal exposure to testosterone.

Organizational effects act during development, often during critical period. Such hormones affect the construction or fine-tuning of sex organs or neural circuits underlying behavioral capacities that will be needed in adulthood.

Organizational effects are often under tight genetic control, and not subject to major influence by environment.

Organizational effects are often irreversible.

In which structure does extracellular chemical digestion of protein begin?

lilavasa [31]

Stomach. Stomach which connects oesophagus to small intestine is the main part of digestive system where digestion occurs. Protein is a necessary food content for the healthy being of body. From the food proteins are liberated and its chemical digestion starts in the stomach.
