Question 24.
Answer:
The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its function. If the sequence between two organisms is similar, chances are the functions of their proteins will be similar, meaning they will have similar functions.
The unique amino acid sequence of a protein is reflected in its unique folded structure. This structure, in turn, determines the protein’s function.
Each protein is a different amino acid sequence, which is automatically folded into a 3D structure, then fixed by subsequently formed hydrogen bonds.
