The possible answers are:
A. Variation in length of the amino acid backbone
B. Each protein is encoded by a distinct gene
C. Variations in the type of peptide bond
D. Variations in the glycosidic linkage
E. Variation in tertiary structure
<span>F. Variations in which amino acids are used

The correct answers are A,E and F
There are only 20 amino acids that make all of the proteins in our bodies. However, there are options for protein variation are almost unlimited.
Firstly, you can vary the number of different amino acid that you use to make a protein.
Secondly, you can also vary the length of the amino acid chain.
And thirdly, when an amino acid chain is formed different parts of the chain interact with each other, bonding chemically, forming different 3-dimensional structures of the protein.
All of this contributes to the vast variation in proteins.</span>

What would be the effect of a mutation in the coding region of the lactase gene?
Fynjy0 [20]

Lactase refers to an enzyme that can dissociate lactose sugar into glucose and galactose. This enzyme plays an important role in the digestion of milk that comprises high lactose sugar. In case, if a mutation occurs in the gene codon of lactase, then two possibilities can take place. These are as follows:  

1. Loss of mutation: In this case, the person becomes lactose intolerant because of mutation in lactase gene codon. Due to this, there is low mRNA expression and thus low production of the enzyme lactase. This is also known as lactase non-persistent phenotype.  

2. Gain in mutation: In this case, the person gain an increase in mRNA expression of the lactase gene, thus more production of lactase takes place than usual. This kind of individual exhibits lactase persistent phenotype.

hammer [34]

Answer:

A and F are phosphate groups.

B and E are sugars.

C and D are nitrogenous bases.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the molecules responsible for composing DNA and RNA. They are formed by three units: a phosphate group, a sugar molecule and a nitrogenous base.

The sugar molecule is a pentose, which means that it is a molecule formed by 5 carbons. These collections are represented by geometrical figures such as the letters "B" and "E" shown in the figure above, where each tip represents a carbon.

The nitrogenous bases are molecules that are named adenine (A) and guanine (G) and the pyrimidine bases cytosine (C), uracil (U) and thymine (T).

The phosphate group, in turn, is a molecule derived from phosphoric acid and is the only one that does not vary in each nucleotide.
