Answer:
Allosteric enzymes bind at different site from the substrate binding site.
Explanation:
The activities of some enzymes, particularly those which form a part of a chain of reactions like metabolic pathways, are regulated internally. Some specific low molecular weight substances such as the products of another enzyme further on in the chain, acts as the inhibitor. Such a modulator substance binds with a specific site of the enzyme different from the substrate binding site. This binding increases or decreases the enzyme action. Such enzymes are called allosteric enzymes and the site at which they bind is called allosteric site.
Example: Hexokinase is an enzymes which converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate in glycolysis. Decline in the enzyme activity by the allosteric effect of the product is called feedback mechanism, like the allosteric inhibition of hexokinase by glucose-6-phosphate,
Answer:
The correct answer is option b) "obesogenic environments".
Explanation:
According to the article of Lake A "Obesogenic environments: exploring the built and food environments" (2006), an obesogenic environment is defined as "'the sum of influences that the surroundings, opportunities, or conditions of life have on promoting obesity in individuals or populations". This kind of environment is presented in the US and other developed countries, which contrast with the environment in developing countries who may suffer from famine and starvation.
Let's start off with an example. Imagine a population of organisms—let's say, deer—with access to a fixed, constant amount of food. When the population is small, the limited amount of food will be plenty for everyone. But, when the population gets large enough, the limited amount of food may no longer be sufficient, leading to competition among the deer. Because of the competition, some deer may die of starvation or fail to have offspring, decreasing the per capita—per individual—growth rate and causing population size to plateau or shrink.
In this scenario, competition for food is a density-dependent limiting factor. In general, we define density-dependent limiting factors as factors that affect the per capita growth rate of a population differently depending on how dense the population already is. Most density-dependent factors make the per capita growth rate go down as the population increases. This is an example of negative feedback that limits population growth.

Answer:
0.8 and 0.2
Explanation:
Hardy Weinberg law states that the allele frequency of the population remain stable from one generation to next generation if no natural selection, drift or mutation occurs in the population.
Let p and q be the dominant and recessive frequency of the population respectively.
The dominant phenotype means p² = 0.64
p = 0.8
and we known that p + q = 1, in hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
0.8 + q = 1.
q = 0.2
Thus, the dominant allele is 0.8 and recessive allele is 0.2.
Answer:
The correct answer is - sex and blood type.
Explanation:
Different organisms have different traits some are passed from the parents and other traits are developed by environmental influences. The traits that are passed from parents to the offspring are determined by the genes they inherited from the parents. In humans, sex is determined by the genes that present on the chromosomes and make the chromosome X chromosome or Y chromosome. The presence of the Y chromosome determines maleness.
Similarly, the blood group is determined by the genes, there are three alleles of the ABO gene present on chromosome 9; A. B. and O each allele code for a different antigen which helps them categorizing in blood groups.
