Answer and Explanation:
A couple of hours after the death of an individual or creature, the joints of the body solidify and become secured. This solidifying is called rigor mortis.
Contingent upon body temperature and different conditions, rigor mortis endures roughly 72 hours.
The partial contraction of the skeletal muscles leads to the occurrence of this phenomena.
Answer:
C. conduction
Explanation:
Conduction is the transfer of heat between objects in contact with each other as a result of molecular action. Conduction occurs within and between all states of matter.
Prokaryotes reproduce by *BINARY FISSION* which creates *2*exact daughter cell clone(s) of the original parent cell.
Answer:
Mitochondrial DNA is useful as a molecular clock because it displays uniparental inheritance
Answer:
In this case, it is likely that the polypeptide chain assumed an alpha helix configuration because the lipid bilayer did not have beta-barrel proteins.
Explanation:
A polypeptide chain is naturally polar, however, a lipid bilayer is naturally non-polar. This makes it difficult and even prevents the polypeptide chain from crossing a lipid bilayer, since the composition of these two elements does not allow them to mix. In that case, the polypeptide chain has two options to take to successfully cross the lipid bilayer.
The first option that the polypeptide chain has is to allow the creation of twisted beta sheets in the shape of a closed barrel in its structure. This only works if the lipid bilayer has beta barrel proteins in its composition to act as a transport channel for the polypeptide chain. However, few lipid layers have this protein.
Most likely, the polypeptide chain assumes an alpha helix conformation to cross lipid bilayers that do not have beta-barrel proteins. By assuming the beta conformation, the polypeptide chain reinforces the hydrogen bonds present in its composition, allowing it to cross the lipid bilayer without having its conformation and structure disassembled.
