Chapter 2, Problem 1CRQ
Summary Introduction

Introduction: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are synthesized by the specific sequence of nitrogenous bases during translation. These amino acids combine to code for specific proteins that are involved in various biochemical processes.

Answer to Problem 1CRQ

Correct answer: Option c) “11”

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct answer:

Option c) is given as “11”.

Peptides are short chains of amino acid monomers that are linked by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds are formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. Two amino acids form dipeptide through 1 peptide bond. Hence, 2 amino acid = 1 peptide bond, this means “n” peptide bonds of polypeptide are formed from “n+1” amino acids. If 10 peptide bonds are present, then the number of amino acid is “10+1=11”.

Hence, option c) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect answers:

Option a) is given as “9”. The number of amino acids in a polypeptide containing 10 peptide bonds is 11 and not 9. Hence, option a) is incorrect.

Option b) is given as “10”. The number of amino acids in a polypeptide containing 10 peptide bonds is 11 and not 10. Hence, option b) is incorrect.

Option d) is given as “12”. The number of amino acids in a polypeptide containing 10 peptide bonds is 11 and not 12. Hence, option d) is incorrect.

Therefore, options a), b), and d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The number of amino acids in a polypeptide containing 10 peptide bonds is 11.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
