Answer:

The name “amino acid” is derived from the amino group and carboxyl-acid-group in their basic structure. There are 21 amino acids present in proteins, each with a specific R group or side chainAll organisms have different essential amino acids based on their physiology.

Answer:

Because they are made of an amino group (NH3) and carboxylic acid group ( COOH)

= amino acid

Heterozygous is another word for what?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Heterojunction or having two identical alleles of the same gene.

Explanation:

A heterojunction is an interface that occurs between two layers or regions of dissimilar semiconductors. These semiconducting materials have unequal band gaps as opposed to a homojunction. It is often advantageous to engineer the electronic energy bands in many solid-state device applications, including semiconductor lasers, solar cells and transistors. The combination of multiple heterojunctions together in a device is called a heterostructure, although the two terms are commonly used interchangeably. The requirement that each material be a semiconductor with unequal band gaps is somewhat loose, especially on small length scales, where electronic properties depend on spatial properties. A more modern definition of heterojunction is the interface between any two solid-state materials, including crystalline and amorphous structures of metallic, insulating, fast ion conductor and semiconducting materials.

MAIN IDEA: Life depends on hydrogen bonds in water. Choose whether the statement is true or false. 1. true / false Polar molecul
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3.True

Explanation:1. Polar molecules have two regions but the regions are with a partial +tive charge and a partial -tive charge

2. Water is a polar molecule because of the partial +tive and partial -tive charge hence it dissolves polar solute(solute with ions)

3.The more electronegative region bonds with an electrophile to form a weak bond(Hydrogen bond)

Stellar evolution is the life cycle of a star. A cycle suggests that upon death of a star, another star is born. How is this pos
ANTONII [103]
This is possible because when a star dies, it basically expands to its maximum (explodes). Therefore, the materials of the exploded star mix with the primeval hydrogen of the Universe. Later, other stars are formed out of this mixture. Thats also how the sun was formed. :)

Explain how the independent alignment of homologs, and also crossing-over during the first meiotic division, each contribute to
BartSMP [9]

Answer: Homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. And they exchange segments of DNA during crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gamete cells, which are sex cells (egg and sperm)

Chromosomes that form a pair and are found together are called homologous chromosomes, and they are inherited from each parent. During prophase of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged. <u>It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.</u>

After that, during the anaphase of meiosis I, the two chromosomes line up on the equatorial plane of the cell. Then, they are separated and each will go to a new daughter cell. So homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, <u>this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other.</u>
