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.

Which role do gametes play in reproduction?
Lesechka [4]
<span>C. Gametes are the sex cells, and each (sperm and ovum) contain half of the parent's genetic material. These cells will fuse to produce a zygote, which will usually contain the full number of genes required by an organism to live. If there is a chromosomal abnormality, such as a gamete with an extra chromosome, the offspring can either die in development or sometimes be born with physiological and/or developmental difficulties. An example of this phenomenon is trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, in which the 21st chromosome bears 3 copies instead of the regular 2.</span>
