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.

Global warming from human activity. Mainly the burning of fossil fuels. There are many solutions that are already available. Such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy. The issue is that these solutions also have problems and are expensive. Likely a combination of them and the engineering of ways to safeguard pollutants so they don’t make it into the ecosystem will be the best way that this will improve.

PtichkaEL [24]

The statement is False.

As the movies and books only heighten the controversy associated with the disorder.

<h3>What is Dissociative identity disorder?</h3>

Dissociative identity disorder is a mental illness in which the person is diagnosed with having two or more different personalities with memory gaps or forgetfulness in between these different personality states.

The disorder is a controversial one, and the movies and books focusing on the disorder have failed to reduce this controversy as these books and movies often associate the disorder with violence and crime and ignore other important aspects of the mental problem.

Hence the movies and books only heighten the controversy associated with the disorder.

Answer:

Incomplete dominance can be described as a phenomenon in which the dominant trait is not completely dominant over the recessive trait. Incomplete dominance can be determined when the dominant and the recessive trait merge to form a third type of trait. A new phenotype arises due to such a cross.

For example, when a black-feathered chicken is crossed with a white chicken and their alleles shown incomplete dominance, then offsprings having blue feathers can be seen.
