Mad cow disease is caused by deformed proteins called prions. The disease is spread when meat from an infected cow is eaten. Pri

ons can cause normal proteins to become deformed, producing more prions. After a few years, the brain of an infected person or cow looks like a sponge full of holes.
Are prions considered organisms?

Answer:

Prions, however, are not living organisms. Prions are infectious proteins. For unknown reasons, these proteins refold abnormally and cause a domino effect in surrounding proteins which in turn mutate into stable structures

Explanation:

This is a pic of Prions

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Principle of cross-cutting relationships

Explanation:

The geologic principle that will provide the most profound explanation to this problem is the principle of cross-cutting relationships.

It states that "features that cross-cuts rocks are younger than the layer they cut through".

Some of these features are intrusions, faults and joints.

The logic behind this reasoning is that without the rock in place, the cross-cutting event wouldn't have been recorded.

We can liken this to a fracture on the wall of a building. If the wall is not erected, there wouldn't be any fracture. Therefore, the fracture is far younger than the wall.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Function will be disrupted by adding the urea and regained by removing the urea.

Explanation:

The protein is one of the important biomolecule made of the polymers of the alpha amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. The protein works at their specific pH.

Denaturants disrupt the 3 dimensional structure of protein that affect their normal functioning. In the given experiment, the urea acts as denaturant and disrupt the protein structure. The removal of urea will reverse the denaturant condition and protein gain its function.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
