The Vmax of the enzyme is 12 μmol⋅min−1

We use Michaelis-menten equation,  which is given by;

V=\frac{Vmax(S)}{Km+(S)} \\

Where v is velocity of reaction

Vmax = maximum rate achieved by the system

[S] = concentration of a substrate

K_{m}= Michaelis constant

Given V_{0} = 10umolmin^{-1}

[S] = 5km

Now, we calculate Vmax:

10umolmin^{-1} = \frac{Vmax*(5Km)}{Km+5Km}

Km = 1

10=\frac{5KmVmax}{6Km}

\frac{10*6}{5} =Vmax

Vmax =12 μmol⋅min−1

For Mendel to have postulated the law of independent assortment which of the following reasons had to be valid?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

Mendel is known as the father of genetics. He explains the concept of dominance and introduces the law of segregation and law of independent assortment.

The law of independent assortment explains that the segregation of one pair of character is independent on the other character. The law of independent assortment is valid because the trait used by the Mendel are located on different chromosome and does not show the linkage.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
