<span>Aminoacids have an amine (Nh2) group, a COOH group and a side-chain, joined by a center carbon: so the center carbon attaches to the N of the amine group, to the C of the COOH group, to another H and to the side-chain, which is different for each aminoacid (and it's usually written as "R")
I hope that my answer is helpful! Let me know if you need something more :)</span>

All amino acids have a center carbon. The center carbon has four different molecules attached to it, these are: AMINO GROUP [NH2], CARBOXYL GROUP [COOH], AN R GROUP [R] AND A HYDROGEN ATOM. There are twenty different amino acids in existence, each amino acid differ from another one based on their R groups. The R group is specific and unique to each amino acid. The center carbon in amino acid structure is also called alpha carbon.

The key to the evolution of altruism is that a. recipients have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than nonrecipie
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. actors have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than non actors.

Explanation:

Altruism is the behavior by an organism that benefits other organisms by costing its own fitness. The actor is the individual who is doing altruism and the recipient is the individual who is getting benefited by the actor's altruism.

An example of altruistic behavior can be seen in animal kingdom easily. Vampire bats give blood to those members of the community who were not able to go for search for blood show altruistic behavior.

Actors have altruistic genes that suggest them to behave altruistically. Non-actors may not contain alleles of altruism but the recipient might have altruistic alleles.

Hamilton's rule says that natural selection will favor the altruistic allele when rb > c.

where r = coefficient of relatedness between donor and recipient

          b = benefit received by recipient and

          c = cost paid by altruist.

Therefore, the correct answer is b.

Trava [24]

Answer: D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.

The ability of the water molecule to absorb and retain heat is called as heat capacity of water, because of this property the temperature of water remains the same for long, irrespective of the external environment. It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles because water molecules will resist change in it's temperature. This temperature regulation will prevent instant heating and cooling, hence, will provide suitable environment for the survival of marine organisms.
