Answer:

beta sheets

Explanation:

The proteinaceous particles that lack nucleic acids and are not viruses are termed as prions.
In the healthy brain tissue, the prion proteins are present in the form PrPC, however, in case of prion disease, the normal protein becomes denatured and misfolded and exists in the rogue form which is PrPSc.
The normal form that is PrPC mainly exists in the form of alpha-helices and can bind to copper, however, the rogue form exists mainly in the beta-sheet configuration and is resistant to proteolysis.

A mutation in a gene for normal production of plant chlorophyll results in a plant without chlorophyll. Explain the consequences

Nezavi [6.7K]

A plant without chlorophyll would not be able to photosynthesise because chlorophyll serves to absorb sunlight, which is used to break apart the bonds in water during photosynthesis. A plant that is unable to photosynthesise is not able to create glucose, hence it would likely die unless it was receiving glucose through another source. This is because the plant relies on the energy it gets from breaking down glucose for important internal functions.
