The histone proteins are among the most slowly evolving proteins. For example, a histone protein called histone H4 in cows and peas differs by only 2 amino acids among a total of about 100. A reason why histone proteins evolve so slowly is their function: These proteins bind with the negatively charged phosphate groups in double-stranded DNA, so the proteins must be rich in the basic amino acids lysine and arginine. Therefore, these amino acids cannot be replaced without disrupting the histone's structure and function. a) True
b) False

Can bacteria reproduce in a way such that when you start out with two bacteria, you get five bacteria? why or why not? * a. yes, because bacteria reproduce sexually, and can produce any number of offspring, just as humans do. b. no, because bacteria grow at an exponential rate. c. no, because when bacteria reproduce, they split into two parts, and two bacteria splitting would result in four bacteria.

What two factors does carrying capacity compare? population size and resource use population growth and resource availability resource use and time population size and time

1. this system transports blood through the body and heart. 2. this system relates to the process by which an organism gets rid of its waste. 3.this system is responsible for movement of bones and fluids throughout the body. 4. this system receives and transmits information and responses. it depends upon electrical impulses created by the movement of charged particles. 5. this system relates to the process by which an organism replicates. sexually reproduction usually involves male cells (sperm) meeting female cells (eggs) to produce a fertilized egg or zygote. 6. this system gets oxygen to the cells of the body and rids the body of waste gases. some organisms use their skin. this is also a cell-level process. 7. this system relates to the structure and support of an organism. it is made of salts and proteins and found in vertebrate animals. 8. this is the system of organs which circulate blood around the body of most animals. 9. this system controls the glands that secrete hormones. 10. this organ system to protect the body from damage. itembank : system circulatory digestive system endocrine system excretory integumentary system muscular system nervous system reproductive system respiratory system skeletal system cardiovascular system
