Answer:
The correct option is C. It changes the three-dimensional structure of the active site so that ALAD is no longer compatible with its substrate.
Explanation:
Co-factors are molecules that are required by an enzyme to perform its function of catalysis. If a wrong co-factor binds to the enzyme then it will change the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme and the substrate will no longer fit into the enzyme. Hence, Option C is the best choice that explains the inhibition of ALAD.
Other options are false because :
Option A: The wrong co factor will not affect the substrate nor will it make it compatible for ALAD's active site.
Option B: The wrong factor doesn't change the amino acid sequence of the protein or enzyme, rather it changes the three dimensional structure of the enzyme.
Option D : The wrong co factor won't allow the reaction to proceed at a faster rate, rather it will inhibit the reaction.
Answer: Option B) No, even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.
Explanation:
Since the triplet codon ACG codes for the amino acid threonine, so also ACA codes for threonine, the single base change of Guanine (in ACG) to Adenine (ACA) is insignificant due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
Thus, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur
Answer:
Homologous structures can be described structures which originate in different organisms from a common ancestor and may or may not have the same functions.
Zeuglodons can be described as ancient whales and Orca is a common whale today known as the killer whale.
<u><em>Scientific studies show that Zeuglodans and Orca have many structures in common such as:</em></u>
- <u><em>Having teeth with two roots</em></u>
- <u><em>The presence of nostrils</em></u>
- <u><em>Pelvis and internal femur bones</em></u>
