Question 229

Multiple Choice

Refer to the table below, which shows data collected by a research group investigating properties of a protein that catalyzes a chemical reaction in bacterial cells.The group isolated the protein from bacteria with normal function (native protein) and from three colonies of bacteria that had been treated with a chemical mutagen (mutants 1, 2, and 3) . Refer to the table below, which shows data collected by a research group investigating properties of a protein that catalyzes a chemical reaction in bacterial cells.The group isolated the protein from bacteria with normal function (native protein)  and from three colonies of bacteria that had been treated with a chemical mutagen (mutants 1, 2, and 3) .   Which statement is true and is supported by the results shown in the table? A)  The quaternary structure of a protein is destroyed by any change in its primary structure. B)  The tertiary structure of a protein is destroyed by any change in its primary structure. C)  Changes in primary structure can affect a protein's biological function without affecting its quaternary structure. D)  The same amino acids are responsible for determining a protein's biological function and its quaternary structure. E)  Any changes that disrupt a protein's quaternary structure cause disruptive changes in the protein's tertiary structure as well.
