Explain why you can't fully test the lipase activity in tube 5.

It has a very low pH already , so the test requires the visualization of a diminishing in pH, it may be hard to identify.
The ideal pH of gastric lipase is 3 â€“ 6, implying that gastric lipase does not work at its ideal pH in the stomach
A lipase is any catalyst that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats (lipids). Lipases are a subclass of the esterases. Lipases perform basic parts in the absorption, transport and preparing of dietary lipids

The reason why you cant test the activity of Lipase in test tube 5 is because in test tube 5 the PH is low. This decrease in pH might make it difficult to detect the activity of lipase since the optimal ph of pancreatic lipase is around 8.0. generally high or low PH result to complete loss of activities of most enzymes.

Answer:

e. 25%

Explanation:

Hemophilia is inherited in the X-linked recessive pattern. This means that two recessive alleles need to be present in an affected individual.
Since the father is affected, his genotype is $X^{h}$ Y.
The mother is heterozygous i.e. a carrier for the hemophilia allele with the genotype $X^{H}$ $X^{h}$ .

Punnet Square:

$X^{H}$ $X^{h}$

$X^{h}$ $X^{H}$ $X^{h}$ $X^{h} X^{h}$

Y $X^{H} Y$ $X^{h} Y$

According to the Punnett square above, the probability of an affected daughter i.e. genotype $X^{h} X^{h}$ is 1/4 i.e. 25%.

The phenomenon in which RNA molecules in a cell are destroyed if they have a sequence complementary to an introduced double-stra

forsale [732]

Answer:

RNA interference

Explanation:

Interference RNA is a mechanism of post-transcriptional silencing of specific genes, so that small RNA molecules complementary to an mRNA lead to its degradation, thus preventing its translation into proteins.

Gene silencing by interfering RNA is induced by small double stranded RNA molecules of 21 to 27 nucleotides called siRNA. These siRNAs undergo a series of processes in the cell as a result of which their double stranded RNA unfolds in a sense strand and an antisense strand. The antisense strand binds to the mRNA chain specifically for base complementarity, causing the resulting complex to be recognized by cellular and degraded mechanisms. Each siRNA is highly specific for the target nucleotide sequence to which it degrades. This phenomenon of gene interference occurs naturally in the body, being involved in the development and defense against viruses.
