transcription of multiple genes simultaneously.




How does the secondary structure of proteins affect their function?


✔✔ The secondary structure, including alpha helices and beta sheets, contributes to a protein’s

✔✔ The endosymbiotic theory suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from free-

living bacteria that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells.




What is the function of signal transduction pathways in cellular responses?


✔✔ Signal transduction pathways transmit extracellular signals into cellular responses through a

series of molecular interactions.




How does the role of a chaperone protein support proper protein folding?


✔✔ Chaperone proteins assist in the correct folding of other proteins, preventing misfolding and

aggregation.

✔✔ Mitosis results in two genetically identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four

genetically diverse gametes with half the chromosome number.




How do plants adapt their photosynthetic processes to varying environmental conditions?
