Answer/Explanation:
If a protein has a quaternary structure it is formed when many subunits get together.
- true. The quaternary structure of a protein is the final stage in its assembly, when structures from multiple polypeptides come together, forming a multi-subunit protein (e.g. a dimer if 2, a trimer if 3 and so on)
Monomers form the secondary structure of proteins.
- false, they form the tertiary structure
The charges on the functions groups of the amino acids creates the beta pleated sheets and alpha helix structures that are the secondary level of structure in proteins.
- false, it is mostly the peptide backbone that causes the alpha helices and beta sheets to form
The order of the amino acids is the primary structure of proteins. - true. The amino acid sequence linked together by peptide bonds is the polypeptide sequence, which then forms increasingly complex structures when folded.
The tertiary structure of proteins is formed when the B sheets and alpha helices organize themselves into a more complex shape. - true. These complex structures can further interact with one another to form increasingly organized domains. The amino acid side chains possess different properties that form different bonds with one another.
The primary structure of proteins is formed from the amino groups on the proteins. - false, the primary structure is formed by the sequence of amino acids in the chain, determined by the mRNA sequence from which the protein is synthesised.
Answer:
The sex cells could not easily combine to form the body cells of an offspring because of the different chromosome number.

Answer:
b. at each step, energy is lost from the system as a result of keeping the organisms alive
Explanation:
Generally Ecological pyramids helps to visualise the structure of Ecosystem.Its diagrammatically showed the relative amounts of numbers of organisms ,their energy, and the amount of energy that is converted in living tissue as usable mass (biomass) at different tropic levels.
Basically, large amount of energy is lost as energy flow from one tropic level to another in an ecosystem. This can be explained with the second law of thermodynamics;<u> </u><u>which states that in the conversion of energy from one form to another in a system, there is always a tendency towards disorderliness</u><u>.</u>That is the entropy changes of the universe can never be negative.Relatively in a biological system, this means that energy is lost in metabolic process( glycolysis, chemeosmosis, assimilation, growth .......) as heat, as organisms at one tropic level is consumed by another at the next level, from the base to the peak of these pyramids.
The amount of energy transfer efficiency among the two successive tropic levels is obtained by <u>dividing the energy transfer at present tropic level</u> with<u> the energy transfer at previous tropic levels</u> and<u> mutiply the results by 100%</u> . This known as Tropic level transfer efficiency(TLTE) .
The lower energy efficiency between successful present and previous tropic levels in these pyramids accounts for the similarities.
Answer;
-Allele frequency change
In single-gene traits, natural selection can lead to allele frequency change.
Explanation;
-Allele frequencies can change over time within a single population, and frequently differ between populations. This change is due to four different processes: mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow and genetic drift.
-Random forces lead to genetic drift. Sometimes, there can be random fluctuations in the numbers of alleles in a population. These changes in relative allele frequency, called genetic drift, can either increase or decrease by chance over time.
Answer:
The innate immunity in living organisms protects them from the pathogens they encounter daily.
Explanation:
Pathogens are organisms such as virus, fungi, bacteria, protozoa, worms that causes diseases to its host.
For example, Avian flu is a strain or variant of the Influenza virus which predominantly causes a disease in birds such as chickens. The virus responsible for the Avian flu can be passed from birds to humans; when anyone comes in contact with a bird that is carrying the virus i.e a sick bird with Avian flu.
Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.
Also, immunization can be defined as the process of boosting an individual's immunity or immune system against antigens (immunogen) which cause diseases by the administration of vaccines.
Basically, immunization helps to improve the functions of the antibodies, B cells, T cells etc.
If a person becomes infected with a pathogen, such as a virus. The internal stimulus that mainly takes place in order for their body to maintain homeostasis is that their core temperature increases. This is because pathogens such as a virus do not thrive or survive in a hot environment; they're naturally allergic to high temperature (heat).
