Answer from: tifftifftiff5069

tertiary; quaternary

Explanation:

The orientation of all the atoms of a protein in three dimensions represents its tertiary structure. It includes the folding of the polypeptide chains in a way that brings are far apart amino acids of its secondary structure close together. Various segments of a polypeptide chain interact to form tertiary structures and these segments are held together by different kinds of weak interactions.

However, disulfide cross-links between the segments of polypeptide chains also stabilize the tertiary structure of some proteins. Likewise, disulfide bonds also hold the protein subunits of some proteins together and thereby, contribute to the quaternary structure. For example, two light chains of an antibody are joined together by disulfide bonds.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
