Answer:
The correct answer is: d. progressive stabilisation of correct secondary structural intermediates, and unfolding of incorrect structures, until the final structure is attained.
Explanation:
- Protein folding is a sequential process and not a random one.
- It is necessary that a protein must fold in such a way that in the end it is able to attain the particular conformation which is required for its function.
- The folding of an amino acid sequence is a process that is thermodynamically favourable.
- This is because in a folded protein the hydrophobic amino acids escapes from interacting with water molecules and hence gets stabilised.
- A folded protein has lower energy and is more stable than a linear polypeptide chain.
- The folding of an amino acid linear chain into a protein takes place in the following way:
- The folding of the amino acid sequence begins during the process of translation of the mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid) by Ribosome. (Co-translational folding)
- This is because initially the linear amino acid sequence forms a secondary structure (alpha helix, beta sheet) which is formed between the nearby amino acid residues.
- These structures form progressively and sequentially and each structure after formation is checked for its correct conformation before the next structure (tertiary structure) is formed.
- If an incorrect folding has occurred, the folded polypeptide chain opens up and refolds until correct orientation is attained.
- Folding, opening and refolding process continues until the correct conformation of the protein is attained.
Answer:
female gametophytes
Explanation:
The cell called megasporocyte (2n) is usually the mother cell of the megaspores, which are the female spores of spermatophyte plants.
After an meiosis, the megaspore mother cell (2n) will give rise to 4 megaspores (n). Three of these megaspores usually degenerate. The functional megaspore will then develop into the megagametophyte, which will be called the embryonic sac. Initially the megaspore grows and its nucleus divides.
Answer:
Erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes
Explanation:
Aplastic anemia is a type of rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells. This might occur as a result of damage to the stem cells in the bone marrow that produces these blood cells which includes the rest blood cell, the white blood cells and the platelets. The most common cause of this condition is the immune system attacking and damaging the stem cells in the bone marrow.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. <span>The building blocks of a habitat consist of environmental factors. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
