Adaptation- - correct answersThe adjustment or changes in behavior, physiology, and structure of an organism to become more suited to an environment. Aerobic- - correct answersA process that requires oxygen. Allele -An alternative form of a gene. An example would be genes that encode eye color—some encode blue eyes (one allele), while others encode brown, green, or hazel eye colors (other alleles). - correct answers amino acids - - correct answersA small organic molecule with the stru...

Which level of protein structure is disrupted through the hydrolysis of peptide bonds? Quaternary Tertiary Primary Secondary - ANSWER Primary The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds are formed by dehydration reactions and disrupted by hydrolysis. A mutation in the beta-hemoglobin gene, which results in the replacement of the amino acid glutamate in position 6 with the amino acid valine, leads to the develop...

Cell Theory - ANSWER-Discovered in the 17th century 1. All living things are composed of cells 2. The cell is the basic unit of life 3. The chemical reactions of life take place inside the cell 4. Cells arise from only preexisting cells 5. Cells carry genetic information in the form of DNA. This genetic material is passed from parent cell to daughter cell 6 Kingdoms - ANSWER-Bacteria, Archaea, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia Prokaryotic - ANSWER-"before nucleus", lacks a memb...

Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature. Which of the following best explains how the properties of water contribute to this physiological process? - ANSWER The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas A student placed a semipermeable membrane inside a U-shaped channel with two chambers, as shown. The membrane permits the movement of water but not salt. The...

What modification neutralizes the charges on histones and looses up the interactions between histones and DNA? - Answer- ACETYLATION Two types of post-transcriptional modifications that take place in the mRNA of eukaryotes - Answer- the addition of a CAP at the 5' end of the transcript and the addition of a POLY A sequence at the 3' end of the message Nucleic acid blotting is widely used in recombinant DNA technology. In a Southern blot one generally - Answer- Hybridizes filter-bound DNA...
