Identical twins, who have inherited a gene associated with obesity, are adopted by different families. One is growing up in a very health-conscious family, while the other is growing up in a family that eats a lot of fast food and never exercises. Which statement describes their likely weights upon reaching adulthood? A.
They will both be overweight because they both have the gene associated with obesity.

B.
They will both be of average weight because their genes will mutate as they grow and develop.

C.
The weight of the twins is difficult to predict because both genes and environmental factors affect weight.

D.

You have just sequenced a new protein found in mice and observe that sulfur-containing cysteine residues occur at regular intervals. what is the significance of this finding? it will be important to include cysteine in the diet of the mice. cysteine residues are required for the formation of α helices and β pleated sheets. cysteine residues are involved in disulfide bridges that form tertiary structure. cysteine causes bends, or angles, to occur in the tertiary structure of proteins.
