The R group should have the ability to form hydrogen bonds.

The R-group take a lot of different chemical forms and can be acidic, basic, polar or non polar. Amino acids that are either acidic or basic consequently have either positive or negative charge. These types of R-groups are stabilized when surrounded by water.

The plasma membrane is the membrane that delimits a cell. It separates the inside of the cell (the cytoplasm) from the outside environment. It is mainly composed of lipids, particularly phospholipids, between which proteins can be inserted.
An amino acid is a carboxylic acid which also has an amine functional group. so it has both a carboxyl group -COOH and an amine group (for example a primary amine -NH 2 or a secondary amine -NH-).
It is customary to classify amino acids into four groups according to the properties of their side chain: acid, basic, hydrophilic, hydrophobic.
apolar amino acids (hydrophobic) tend to occupy the heart of proteins or offer points of adhesion on their surface. In a protein membrane, it tends to occupy the inner part of the membrane, due to lipophilic (hydrophobic) property of their R group attracted by the membrane's lipid. 
polar amino acids (hydrophilic) tend to occupy the surface of proteins. They can be acidic, basic, or neutral. They have a strong chemical reactivity and are therefore found in the catalytic site of enzymes.

Which region of Earth did John Tuzo Wilson believe was broken into plates? Lithosphere outer core lower mantle asthenosphere
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is option A - Lithosphere

Explanation:

John Tuzo Wilson was a Canadian geophysicist who is known for his contributions to the theory of plate tectonics.

Plate tectonics supports the idea that the rigid outer layer of the Earth or the lithosphere is broken into numerous plates. These plates move independently over the asthenosphere.

What embryonic structure gives rise to the centrum?
Gnesinka [82]
A vertebrate-animal embryo gives rise to the centrum. The centrum is a bone that is part of the vertebral column. It is the hollow space within the vertebra that protects and contains the spinal cord. Within this hollow area are several nerves that send impulses to the brain enabling the organism to function and be at its homeostasis.

If a homozygous black bull is mated with a homozygous white cow and the calf is gray, this could be an example of ___________. H
givi [52]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Co-dominance

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered the principles that governs heredity, in which one of them is that an allele called DOMINANT allele, is capable of masking the expression of its variant allele called RECESSIVE allele in a heterozygous state. However, there has been genetic scenarios contrary to this his LAW OF DOMINANCE.

One of those Non-mendelian pattern of inheritance is a phenomenon called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, where an allele does not mask the expression of another completely, instead their combined state produces a third intermediate phenotype that is different from both parents. This is the case of the homozygous black bull mated with a homozygous white cow to produce a grey calf. The grey phenotype is an intermediate phenotype of both the black and white colours that forms due to incomplete dominance.

Another genetic scenario is called CO-DOMINANCE, where one allele is neither dominant nor recessive to the other allele, but instead both phenotypes becomes simultaneously expressed in the heterozygous offspring. In this case, the black bull and white cow were mated to form a heterozygous calf with both black and white spots.
