Answer:
A change in pH can change the ionization of the side groups of basic and acidic amino acids of proteins., It is important to remember that these charges of are importance in stabilizing a protein secondary and tertiary structure and consequently affects its function. Changing these charges alters these interactions and disturbs protein loops such as beta-sheets and alpha-helices. This can change the structure of a proteins enzyme’s active site and cause it to fail to bind to a substrate or catalyze a reaction.
Answer:
Probability of Dimples and a cleft chin among their offspring = 1/4
Probability of no dimples and a non-cleft chin = 1/4
Explanation:
the allele for the dimple trait D is dominant over the allele for the non-dimple trait d.
the allele for the cleft chin trait C is dominant over the allele for the non-cleft chin trait c.
Mr. Smith has heterozygous alleles for both traits.
Mrs. Smith does not have dimples, nor does she have a cleft chin
Mr Smith DdCc x. ddcc
Probability of Dimples and a cleft chin among their offspring = Dd x dd = 1/2
Cc x cc = 1/2 = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4
Probability of no dimples and a non-cleft chin = Dd x dd = 1/2, Cc x cc = 1/2 = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4.
Answer:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are much larger than prokaryotic cells.
Explanation:
According to the Endosymbiotic theory, all the components of eukaryotic cells were once individual prokaryotic cells which were able to function on their own.
The mitochondria was independent enough to perform aerobic respiration and produce energy and the chloroplasts were able to independently convert the energy from the Sun to the chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Later, these cells were engulfed by a single cell and these prokaryotes combined to form a eukaryote that was capable of performing all the functions that the independent cells could.
So, the mitochondria and chloroplasts were able to reproduce on their own, had their own ribosomes and had DNA resembling that of bacteria as they were prokaryotic in nature.
However, mitochondria and chloroplasts could not be larger than the prokaryotic cells to support the endosymbiotic theory.
This is because in order to establish a relationship between the bacteria and the mitochondria and chloroplasts, and for these organelles to have developed from bacteria as their ancestors, they must have sizes comparable to bacteria and other prokaryotes.
At the same time, size in itself is not enough evidence to support origin of these organelles from the bacteria.
Answer:
c. the rotation of the Earth
Answer:
Many fossils are found only during certain periods in the geologic record. Scientists use these fossils to determine the relative ages of rock layers. The diagram shows relative ages of four fossils.
Hope that helps :)
