A protein exists in two forms that differ only in their folded shapes. Form A is found in normal brain tissue and performs normal cellular processes. Form B is found in animals with certain brain diseases and is thought to play a
causative role in these diseases. Form B is infectious, meaning that when it is introduced to normal brain tissue, it can
cause Form A to be converted to Form B, thereby increasing the amount of the disease form.
Based on this information and your knowledge about biology, select true or false for each of the following
statements.
True
False
Form A and Form B must be expressed from two different genes.
в
я
Form A and Form B folding are determined entirely by their amino acid sequences.
Form A likely functions differently than Form B because they have different shapes.
Form A to Form B conversion likely requires a change in Form A's amino acid sequence.

Paleontologists have found plant fossils deep within the layers of the north polar region. these leaf fossils have been labeled as to the rock layers they were found in, with the lower numbers being layers close to the earth's surface and higher numbers representing deeper layers. according to the numbers of these four leaf fossils, what might you infer?
