Answer:
1. The prosthetic group of hemoglobin and myoglobin is heme.
2.The organic ring component of heme is porphyrin ring.
3. Under normal conditions, the central atom of heme is Iron (Fe2+).
4. In deoxyhaemoglobin the central iron atom is displaced 0.4 A out of the plane of the porphyrin ring system.
5.The central iron atom has six bonds: four to nitrogen atoms in the porphyrin, one to a histidine residue and one to oxygen.
Explanation:
1. The heme is the prosthetic group common to both the hemoglobin and myoglobin. It is made up of a central iron ring.
2. The porphyrin ring is the organic component of the heme that surrounds the iron ring. Its based on a tetrapyrole ring called porphin commonly found in other biomolecules such as cytochrome and chlorophyll in plants
3. Iron (Fe2+) is central to the heme structure. It has the ability to bind to an oxygen molecule at a time. This gives the protein- hemoglobin the ability to bind to 4 oxygen molecules at a time.
4. Deoxyhaemoglobin is simply a reduced form of hemoglobin which has lost oxygen molecule in red blood cells. It is purple blue in colour.
5. In the middle of the porphyrin ring, the iron binds to 4 nitrogen atoms. 2 free binding sites are available on either side of the plane heme structure with histidine surounding the heme molecule.

Explanation:
mention two morphological differences between pteridophyte
and spermatophyte
Answer:
The main difference between these two classes is that: Pteridophytes are vascular plants but they do not produce flowers and seeds which mean their source of reproduction is unknown or hidden. Examples are ferns, horsetails and lycophytes. On the contrary, Spermatophytes as the name indicates, are seed bearing plants.
Explanation:
Answer:
THE DIFFERENCE is that spermatophyte is (botany) any plant that bears seeds rather than spores while pteridophyte is any plant of the division pteridophyta, of simple vascular plants that reproduce via spores rather than seeds and that alternate generations of diploid (sporophyte) and haploid (gametophyte or prothallus) forms
Explanation:
A cell has two pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, which we will call chromosomes IA, IB, IIA, and IIB (chromosomes IA and I B are homologs, and chromosomes IIA and IIB are homologs). Allele M is located on the long arm of chromosome IA and allele m is located at the same position on chromosome IB. Allele P is located on the short arm of chromosome IA, and allele p is located at the same position on chromosome IB. Allele R is located on chromosome IIA and allele r is located at the same position on chromosome IIB.
A. Draw these chromosomes, identifying alleles M, m, P, p, R, and r as they would appear in metaphase I of meiosis. Assume there is no crossing over.
B. Taking into consideration the random separation of chromosomes in anaphase I, draw the possible types of gametes that might result from this cell’s undergoing meiosis. Assume that there is no crossing over.
Answer:
A) Allelic position in the chromosomes:
IA ----------M------------:-----------P----
IB ----------m------------:-----------p----
IIA -----------------R--------------------:---------------------
IIB -----------------r---------------------:---------------------
B) Types of gametes (assuming there is no crossing over):
MPR; MPr; mpR; mpr.
Explanation:
In submetacentric chromosomes, the centromere is located near to the middle of the chromosomes.
Since these two pairs of homologous chromosomes do not undergo crossover, the resulting gametes after meiosis may have four (4) allele combinations.

Colonial protists have been hypothesized to be the precursors to multicellular organisms. This hypothesis suggests that the individual unicellular members of the colony, which are initially identical, can begin to take on different functions. Then. the colony can begin to evolve into a multicellular organism. True or False
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Protists are group of eukaryotes that are unicellular or microscopic and some times multicellular. They can live in colonies and live individually.
Some protist live in large groups called colony.
Colonial protists form larger groups of multicellular organisms. The individuals work together as large groups and perform functions to benefit each other.
most of the colonial protist are filter feeders that feed on suspended particles. Colonies enhance feeding efficiency. In choanoflagellates, coloniest has led to the evolution of metazoans
The inheritance of the petite phenotype in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is complicated by an interaction of mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Which of the following is a false statement about petites in S. cerevisiae?
A) Segregational petites are characterized by mutations in the nuclear genome.
B) Suppressive petites are characterized by mitochondria lacking most of its DNA.
C) Neutral petites, when crossed to wild type, yield wild-type mitochondrial function.
D) The three categories of petites are segregational, neutral, and suppressive.
E) Both nuclear and cytoplasmic (mitochondrial) genes contribute to the petite phenotype in some cases.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
The three categories of petites are segregational, neutral, and suppressive and both nuclear and cytoplasmic (mitochondrial) genes contribute to the petite phenotype in some cases. Suppressive petites are characterized by perfoming crosses between petite and wild-type and discovering that all offspring are petite, this exhibit a "dominant" behavior which suppresses wild-type mitochondrial function and not a lack of mitochondrial function.

Female honey bees are diploid and male honey bees are haploid. The haploid males produce sperm and can successfully mate with diploid females. Fertilized eggs develop into females and unfertilized eggs develop into males. How does the process of sperm production in male honey bees differ from sperm production in other animals?
a. Male honey bees use meiosis I only, whereas other animals use both phases of meiosis.
b. Male honey bees use meiosis, whereas other animals use mitosis.
c. Male honey bees use mitosis, whereas other animals use meiosis.
d. Male honey bees can use mitosis or meiosis, whereas other animals can only use meiosis.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
In most of the male animals the production of sperms takes place through the process of meiosis. Meiosis occurs only in 2n or diploid cells. Thus the most of the animals produce sperm due to their diploid nature.
In male bees the sperm production is different than other animals as it is haploid cell and haploid cells produce sperms through mitosis. In haploid cells mitosis helps in produce more sperms.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:
Hybrid incompatibility has a genetic basis both in plants and animals
Explanation:
In plants, hybrid incompatibility may be associated with different factors including, for example, mismatch recognition in chromosomal pairing, changes in the ploidy level, homozygous lethal alleles, epigenetic-associated factors, postzygotic hybrid incompatibility, etc.
Hybrid incompatibility is recognized to promote reproductive isolating barriers between species, thereby understanding into the genetic basis of this phenomenon may result useful to understand the evolutionary forces that are associated with speciation.
You can reverse the hybrid incompatibility by changing the ploidy level, since it ensures a correct chromosome pairing during the cell division. You can use colchicine, it is an antimitotic agent that is widely used to duplicate the ploidy level.
Choose the true statement. Receptor tyrosine kinases undergo autophosphorylation. G proteins phosphorylate receptor tyrosine kinases. Receptor tyrosine kinases include seven transmembrane segments. Active receptor tyrosine kinases are monomeric proteins.
Answer:
Receptor tyrosine kinases undergo autophosphorylation.
Explanation:
The receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are proteins that undergo dimerization and autophosphorylation after binding with their corresponding ligands, thereby triggering downstream molecular signaling cascades. The RTKs bind with high specificity to ligands including growth factors, hormones and cytokines. In human cells, there are 58 types of RTKs proteins that function to regulate developmental pathways, and their dysfunctions have been associated with cancer progression.
Why is axon covered in insulated sheath?
Answer: Myelin Sheath. The Myelin Sheath of a neuron consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity. This insulation acts to increase the rate of transmission of signals. A gap exists between each myelin sheath cell along the axon.
Explanation:. Myelin can greatly increase the speed of electrical impulses in neurons because it insulates the axon and assembles voltage-gated sodium channel clusters at discrete nodes along its length. Myelin damage causes several neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis.

Ecosystem has following components :
Biotic Components : Living organisms & creatures, biodiversity Abiotic Components : Non Living organisms like Water, Air, Land etcThe graph below compares the rates of reaction of a burning candle and an exploding firework.
Comparing Chemical Reactions
A graph has time on the horizontal axis and concentration of reactants on the vertical axis. For an exploding firework, the concentration starts high, increases slightly and then decreases rapidly. For a burning candle the concentration starts high, increases more than the firework, and then decreases rapidly. The concentration for the burning candle is higher than the firework at all timepoints.
What can you conclude from the graph?
The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs less rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires more energy to start, and occurs less rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires more energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
Answer:
The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
Explanation:
The speed of a chemical reaction and the amount of energy required for this reaction is directly linked to the concentration of reagents present in the system. With that, we can say that the higher the concentration of reagents, the faster the chemical reaction will be due to the greater probability of collision between its molecules.
Although the reaction that causes a candle to burn has more reactants than the reaction that causes the fireworks to explode, the latter requires less energy to start. This makes the molecules of the reagents stir faster and collide more efficiently, making the reaction happen much faster.
In summary, the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start and occurs more quickly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires more energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
The rate of reaction refers to the ease with which reactants are converted to products. The higher the rate of reaction, the faster reactants are converted into products.
The activation energy is the energy required for reactants to be converted into products. It is an energy barrier that separates reactants and products.
From the description of the graphs, we are told that the reaction that causes the explosion of firework starts at high concentration, initially increases slightly then decreases rapidly. The fact that it initially increased slightly before decreasing rapidly implies that the high energy required for the reaction to start is high.
On the other hand, the reaction for the candle to burn starts at high concentration, increases more than the firework, and then decreases rapidly because the reaction requires a lesser energy to commence than the reaction for the burning of candle.

In rabbits, brown coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b). A rabbit breeder wants to know the genotype of his best looking male brown rabbit using a test cross. He has brown females and white females available to conduct his breeding experiments.
Required:
a. What should be the coat color of the female he must use in this test cross?
b. If the test cross produces seven (7) brown rabbits and one (1) white rabbit, what is the genotype of the brown male rabbit?
Answer:
a. white
b. Bb
Explanation:
A test cross usually involve crossing an individual whose zygosity is unknown with a homozygous recessive version of individual of the same species.
Brown coat (B) is dominant over white coat (b). Hence, there is no way to physically distinguish between a BB rabbit and a Bb rabbit because both of them will be brown. A bb rabbit however will be white in appearance.
A test cross would therefore involve crossing the brown male rabbit with bb (white) rabbit.
Assuming that the genotype of the brown rabbit is BB, all the progeny will be brown as shown by the cross below.
BB x bb
Bb Bb Bb Bb
In order word, assuming the genotype is Bb, some of the offspring will appear brown while some will appear white.
Bb x bb
Bb Bb bb bb
Hence, the only way the test cross would produce white offspring is if the genotype of the brown rabbit is heterozygous, Bb.

Answer:
Day time period have we as humans been here: 26 seconds
Explanation:
4,500,000,000 years = 1 day
1,400,000 years = X
X = 0.0003111
1 day = 86,400 seconds
0.0003111 = X
X = 26 seconds
In term of the Earth in 24-hour clock, Homo sapiens appeared on our planet only in the last 26 seconds, it means that in geologic time, humans have existed for only a brief time period and thereby it is a relatively new species.
