What determines the unique sequence for every protein?
[ "space encoding", "form encoding", "variation encoding", "gene encoding" ]
D
The unique sequence for every protein is ultimately determined by the gene encoding the protein. A change in nucleotide sequence of the gene’s coding region may lead to a different amino acid being added to the growing polypeptide chain, causing a change in protein structure and function. In sickle cell anemia, the hem...

B.D. for 3/2 years = Rs. 558. B.D. for 2 years = Rs.(558 x 2/3 x 2) = Rs. 744 T.D. for 2 years = Rs. 600. Therefore, Sum = B.D. x T.D./B.D. - T.D = Rs. (744 x 600/144 )= Rs. 3100. Thus, Rs. 744 is S.I. on Rs. 3100 for 2 years. Therefore, Rate =(100 x 744/3100 x 2)% = 12% Answer is C
