Position 79 is in a region that spans the core of the plasma membrane. You conduct additional studies that demonstrate there is no difference in how these junction variant’s function. From these observations alone you can conclude that it is likely that the amino acids at position 79 in each variant have similar properties.only the primary structures of the two variants differ. the primary structure of the two variants differs, however the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of structure may or may not differ.there is no difference between the primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary levels of structure between the variants.
Question
Whilst sequencing this new brain blood-vessel junction protein you also discover that two variants exist, each with a different amino acid at position 79. Position 79 is in a region that spans the core of the plasma membrane. You conduct additional studies that demonstrate there is no difference in how these junction variant’s function. From these observations alone you can conclude that it is likely that the amino acids at position 79 in each variant have similar properties.only the primary structures of the two variants differ. the primary structure of the two variants differs, however the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of structure may or may not differ.there is no difference between the primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary levels of structure between the variants.
Solution
From the information given, we can conclude that "the primary structure of the two variants differs, however the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of structure may or may not differ."
Here's why:
-
Primary structure: This refers to the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Since the two variants have different amino acids at position 79, their primary structures are different.
-
Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary structure: These refer to the way the protein folds and interacts with itself and other proteins. Since the study found no difference in function between the two variants, it suggests that these levels of structure are likely similar. However, without specific studies examining these levels of structure, we cannot definitively say they are the same.

Two species diverged from a common ancestor 2 mya based on fossil evidence. There are 10 amino acid differences in their hemoglobin molecules. We are interested in when 2 other related species diverged from a common ancestor. We don’t have any fossil evidence to help us but we do know that the 2 species have 20 amino acids different between them. According to the molecular clock, how many mya did these 2 species have a common ancestor?Group of answer choices1mya2 mya4 mya8 mya
