The function of a protein is dependent upon the shape into which the chain of amino acids folds. many noncovalent interactions are responsible for maintaining the protein's shape. assume you have isolated a protein from an organism in its proper shape, and you have treated it with an enzyme that selectively targets and breaks only the peptide bonds in the proteins. would the protein retain its shape under these conditions? yes; but the shape would be affected to a greater extent by changes in temperature. yes; once noncovalent bonding determines the shape of a protein, the peptide bonds are no longer necessary. yes; because the noncovalent interactions that determine the shape of a protein are stronger than the peptide bonds. no; while the noncovalent bonds determine the shape of a protein, the peptide bonds are required to hold the amino acids together.

Which of these is not a function of some membrane proteins ? a.allowing polar molecules to enter the cell b.recognizing other types of cells c.receiving messeges from other cells b.carrying messages to oher cells

Two male mice, which we will call male a and male b, are both phenotypically normal. male a was from a litter that contained half phenotypically normal mice and half dwarf mice. the mother of male a was known to be homozygous for the normal igf2 allele. male b was from a litter of eight mice that were all phenotypically normal. the parents of male b were a phenotypically normal male and a dwarf female. male a and male b were put into a cage with two female mice that we will call female a and female b. female a is a dwarf and female b is phenotypically normal. the parents of these two females were unknown, although it was known that they were from the same litter. the mice were allowed to mate with each other, and the following data were obtained: female a gave birth to three dwarf babies and four normal babies. female b gave birth to four normal babies and two dwarf babies. which male(s)mated with female a and female b? male a with both females male a with female b, and male b with female a male a with female a, and male b with female b could not be determined male b with both females
