Can genes carry hereditary instructions?
Genes carry the instructions to make proteins, i think....
Simple proteins are composed of only what?
Simple proteins are composed of only amino acids. These proteins are also called monomeric proteins because they consist of a single polypeptide chain. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of the protein.
How do variations in this structure account for functional differences among membranes?
Different membranes have different scatters of proteins that are located in with the phospholipid bilayer. These different proteins have different functions.
The association of four subunit peptides in a fully functional molecule of hemoglobin is a good example of?
The quaternary structure of proteins.
What are chromosomes and genes composed of?
Genes are composed of DNA. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins. Genes are the sections of DNA which code for a functional product (such as a protein). Chromosomes are the compact, tightly-coiled form of DNA. These appear before the cell undergoes division/replication.
Most proteins produced by the cell are functional in?
their quaternanry structure
What are the functional units of hereditary called?
Functional units of heredity are called genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain instructions for building proteins, which determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
Do all proteins have quandary structure?
No. Proteins start out as a Primary structure, which is just the linear form and sequence of amino acids. The proteins then start forming alpha helices and/or Beta sheets depending on the properties of the amino acids. This is their Secondary structure The proteins then fold completely into tertiary structure. Here, we have a lot of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions within the protein between the helices and beta sheets. Many proteins are fully functional in their tertiary structure and don't have any reason for forming into a quaternary structure. In the quaternary structure, we usually see an interaction between 2 or more polypeptides or proteins. An example would be 2 proteins in their tertiary structure binding together to become a functional dimer. If 3 proteins were interacting it would form a trimer. Several proteins are functional only in a quaternary structure while several more proteins are just fine in their tertiary structure and therefore do not have a quaternary structure.

What is a functional protein?
living things use 'chemical tools' to build up their own structure or to destroy other structures. These tools are made up of proteins called functional proteins.
TWO OR MORe proteins that join to form a functional unit is?
Two or more proteins that join to form a functional unit is the quaternary structure of a protein. An example is joining two or more polypeptides together to form a functional unit.

Simple proteins are composed of only amino acids. These proteins are also called monomeric proteins because they consist of a single polypeptide chain. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of the protein.
What structure composed mainly of proteins and lipids aids in maintain homeostasis in a cell?
cell membrane
Do proteins transport heredity?
yes
Dscribe the structure of an adenovirus?
They are composed of a complex protein capsid surrounding the DNA genome and core proteins.
How do variations in this structure account for functional differences among membranes?
Different membranes have different scatters of proteins that are located in with the phospholipid bilayer. These different proteins have different functions.
