The statement which best explains why Pepsin will not break down starch is that enzymes only work for specific substrates.

<h3>What is an Enzyme?</h3>

This is referred to as a biological catalyst which helps to speed the rate of chemical reaction in the body by lowering the activation energy needed to start it up. it is also proteinous and can be denatured by heat and other substance such as chemicals.

They are also substrate specific which means they can't act on any type of substance. For example enzyme such as amylase acts on only starch while pepsin acts on only protein.

Please help me I don’t understand it.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

1) bay - 0%

  cream - 0%

  buckskin - 100%

2) cream - 25%

    bay - 25%

   buckskin - 50%

3) co-dominance

Explanation:

Ok so a run down on Punnett Squares,  all you have to do is put the parent's genes on the top and right hand side and combine those two genes in the middle as I did in the picture.  Now, co-dominance, this basically means that there is no dominant allele.  For example, imagine a white flower (W) and a red flower (R).  If these two plants were to breed, you would get a pink flower (WR).  This means the red allele and the white allele are both co-dominant.  It is basically a combination of both genes that result in a mixed phenotype of the two genes, aka red and white makes pink.  This is also how you get an AB blood type.

I hope this helps!

Describe three possible effects of genetic drift on populations and/or specific alleles.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Genetic drift can result in the loss of rare alleles, and can decrease the size of the gene pool. Genetic drift can also cause a new population to be genetically distinct from its original population, which has led to the hypothesis that genetic drift plays a role in the evolution of new species.
