Which of the following does NOT characterize proteins?

8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.

Explanation:

Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?

This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.

<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>

A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.

Denaturation is the destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures. The primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.

B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.

There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones (FSH, LH), antibodies (IgA, IgM), enzymes (lipase, amylase), for storage/transport (hemoglobin, ferritin), and locomotion (actin, troponin).

D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.

Just like hemoglobin, it's quaternary structure can carry 4 molecules of iron in one go. Enzymes are shaped accordingly to fit a specific substrate (lock-and-key model)

solniwko [45]

Answer:

all 20

Explanation:

It is impossible to know how many individuals will have the disease at the end without knowing other factors such as the condition where the subjects are being held, trial specifications and safety measures, etc. Based on the information provided, the best prediction that can be made is that all 20 subjects will have the disease. This is because since none of them are immune the disease will spread between the patients/subjects through contact or testing equipment.

If a DNA sequence is A-T-G-A-C, write the sequence of base pairs that would pair with it.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

T-A-C-T-G

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid, widely known as DNA, is the genetic material in living cells. It is a double-stranded molecule, with each strand arising from the pair of nucleotide monomers that forms its structure. In the DNA, four nucleotides exist namely: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

These four bases occur in different combinations to form a sequence that makes up each strand of the DNA. However, each nucleotide pairs with one another using the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine will always hydrogen bond with Thymine, while Guanine will always hydrogen bond with Cytosine i.e. A-T, G-C.

Based on the above, a DNA strand with sequence: A-T-G-A-C will pair with another DNA strand with sequence: T-A-C-T-G.
