Answer and Explanation:

Amino acids are classified into three groups:

Essential amino acids

Nonessential amino acids

Conditional amino acids

ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS

Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from food.

The 9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

NONESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS

Nonessential means that our bodies produce an amino acid, even if we do not get it from the food we eat. Nonessential amino acids include: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.

CONDITIONAL AMINO ACIDS

Conditional amino acids are usually not essential, except in times of illness and stress.

Conditional amino acids include: arginine, cysteine, glutamine, tyrosine, glycine, ornithine, proline, and serine.

__________ is paralysis of all four limbs.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Quadriplegia is paralysis of all four limbs.

Explanation:

Quadriplegia is a clinical sign that causes total or partial paralysis of arms and legs caused by damage to the spinal cord, specifically in some of the cervical vertebrae, or by a disease that affects motor neurons, such as the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In some cases, following intensive rehabilitation, some mobility can be regained.

If the frequency of an allele is 0.75, how many copies of this allele should be in a population of 300 diploid individuals?

Ray Of Light [21]

I have provided the options below:

a. 150

b. 225

c. 300

d. 450

e. 75

Answer:

150

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.

Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2

Allelic frequency = 0.75.

Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by

0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.

And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:

number of individuals = 56×300÷100

= 168 or

150 nearest figure.

How do archaea and bacteria differ?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The archaea and the bacteria both are prokaryotes. However, the genetic makeup of the archaea is more similar to the eukaryotes. Moreover, they have differences, in their metabolic pathways, genes and the enzymes possessed by them.

Explanation:

The differences between Archaea and bacteria:

1. The cell wall of the bacteria consist of peptidoglycan, while the cell wall of the archaea consist of pseudo-peptidoglycan.

2. The bacteria are capable of spore formation, which can lie dormant for long periods of time until a suitable condition is found for their growth. The archaea are not known to form such spores.

3. The genes of the archaea are more similar to the eukaryotes than the bacteria.

4. The bacteria are found everywhere where the living conditions are suitable (soil, air, living beings, non-living things). the archaea are capable of surviving in extreme conditions (hot springs, salt brine).

5. The bacteria use the process of glycolysis and follows Kreb's cycle for glucose break-down. The archaea do not undergo glycolysis or Kreb's cycle.
