Answer: To provide the best possible view

Explanation:

The crow's nest was located on the upper part of the main mast in a large sailing ship. It was so named because it is thought that Vikings used to carry crows in cages attached to the top of the mast and when they couldn't see anything they would let the crow out and follow its flight path.

It is located as high on the mast as possible so that it may provide the best possible view of what is ahead so that the ship can be able to navigate better. It was replaced by radar to a large extent.

A sequence of DNA is altered. Explain how this change to the sequence of DNA could result in a bioschemical reaction no longer o
Zina [86]

Answer:

DNA codes for enzymes (proteins or RNA). And every reaction is controlled by any enzyme.

So, a change in the DNA can result into formation of some non-functional enzyme or a less efficient enzyme or some other protein.

As there's no enzyme for the particular reaction, the reaction wouldn't occur.

<u>Primary</u><u> </u><u>structure-</u><u> </u>It shows the sequence of amino acids in any protein.<em> </em><em>No</em><em> </em><em>role</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>functional</em><em> </em><em>part</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>enzyme</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>D</em><em> </em><em>structure</em><em>.</em>

<u>Tertiar</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>str</u><u>ucture</u><u>-</u><u> </u>It is coiling of enzyme upon itself to form the active or cataytic site. <em>Plays</em><em> </em><em>role</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>catabolic</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>anabolic</em><em> </em><em>function</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>enzyme</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>3D</em><em> </em><em>structure</em><em>.</em>

<u>Amino</u><u> </u><u>acid-</u><u> </u>As the name goes by, it means a molecule having an amino group (NH2) and an acid group (COOH). Basic building molecules of the proteins.

<u>Active</u><u> </u><u>site-</u><u> </u>The structure formed by the coiling of enzyme (found in tertiary and quaternary structure). This is where the substrate binds to the enzyme

<u>Substrate</u><u>-</u> This is the molecule which binds to the enzyme and is converted into product by the enzyme.

<u>Enzy</u><u>me</u><u>-</u><u> </u>This is the proteinaceous(sometimes RNA) molecule which accelerates the metabolic functions of our body.

<u>mRNA-</u><u> </u>This is the molecule formed the DNA present in the nucleus of the cell after transcription. The mRNA carried the information from the DNA present in the cell to form the protein molecule.<em> </em><em>The</em><em> </em><em>basic</em><em> </em><em>structural</em><em> </em><em>component</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>molecule</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>ribonucleotide</em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em>.</em>

saul85 [17]
This is a true statement. Instead of whining about schoolwork, we need to focus, and understand that school is preparing us for real life.
Hope this helps!
