When usingthe standard proteins it is typically assumed that the vv values of thestandard and actually measured protein are identical. With thisassumption, the ratio of the molecular masses of the two proteins isidentical to the ratio of their I(0)s normalized against the concen-trations.
The gametes (an egg and a sperm) fuse in the process of syngamy to form a 2 n zygote. The zygote divides mitotically to form a multicellular embryo ( embryogenesis), which is protected by either gametophytic tissues (such as remnants of archegonia in the nonseed land plants) or sporophytic tissues (the seed in the seed plants). An embryo,...
The shell itself is made of bone, and the outer covering of the shell is made of keratin, much like human fingernails. Each shell is made up of sections called scutes. As the turtle grows, new layers of keratin are formed around the outer edges of each scute, looking much like the growth rings of a tree.
