Karolina [17]2 years ago

 <span>Amino acids are the basic structural unit of all proteins. A 'free' amino acid (a single amino acid) always has: 
an amino group -NH2, 
a carboxyl group -COOH 
a hydrogen -H 
a chemical group or side chain -"R". 
Since the amino acids (except glycine) have 4 different groups attached to the a-carbon, they are optically active stereoisomers (recall 23.101 Organic Chemistry) although only L-isomers are found in proteins. 
At a neutral pH, both the amino and the carboxyl groups are ionised, giving what is termed the zwitterionic</span>

Sort the different barriers into their modes of reproductive isolation. A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to
Stella [2.4K]

Answer/Explanation:

Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.

A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.

The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species

The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours

The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.

Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.

Which of the following statements regarding the endomembrane system is false? Which of the following statements regarding the en
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The endomembrane system includes the nuclear envelope.

Explanation:

The endomembrane is composed by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the golgi apparatus. Its main function is to synthesize proteins (rough endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes) proteins can also be modified in the ER of pass to the golgi apparatus where they can be modified and sort to be packed in vesicles to be exported to different parts of the body, for example hormones.

the nuclear envelope only holds the DNA and it´s not involved in protein synthesis.
