Answer: A protein domain is a region of the protein's polypeptide chain that is self-stabilizing and that folds

independently from the rest. Each domain forms a compact folded three-dimensional structure. Many proteins consist of several domains.

One domain may appear in a variety of different proteins. Molecular evolution uses domains as building blocks and these may be recombined in different arrangements to create proteins with different functions.

In general, domains vary in length from between about 50 amino acids up to 250 amino acids in length.

The shortest domains, such as zinc fingers, are stabilized by metal ions or disulfide bridges. Domains often form functional units, such as the calcium binding EF-hand domain of calmodulin.

Because they are independently stable, domains can be "swapped" by genetic engineering between one protein and another to make chimeric proteins.

The correct answer is Collenchyma.

The collenchyma cells are lengthened cells with uneven thick cell walls, which are responsible for structure and support. Their thick walls comprises of the compounds pectin and cellulose. These cells are generally found below the epidermis, or the outer layers of cells in leaf veins and in young stems.

These cells provide structural support, mainly in developing leaves and shoots. The strength of the tissue comes from these condensed cell walls and the longitudinal meshing of the cells.

What type of cell undergoes meiosis
gayaneshka [121]

In multicellular plants and animals, however, meiosis is restricted to the germ cells, where it is key to sexual reproduction. Whereas somatic cells undergo mitosis to proliferate, the germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (the sperm and the egg).
