Answer:

Catalase behaves as a catalyst for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Explanation:

Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that plays a very important role in the protection against oxidative damage by breaking down hydrogen peroxide. It is a very highly conserved enzyme that has been identified from numerous species including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals.

Catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers for all known enzymes (40,000,000 molecules/second). This high rate shows an importance for the enzymes capability for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide and preventing the formation of carbon dioxide bubbles in the blood.

<h3>Which event takes place during fertilization?</h3>

The major event which is characteristic of fertilization is zygote, otherwise termed cell formation in which case, the zygote is capable of undergoing cell division to form a new living cell. The fusion of two gametes necessary for fertilization kick-starts several reactions in the egg.

Consider the following statements:

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2, 3 and 4 only.

Explanation:

Mutations refer to change in genetic content or alterations of DNA which might be as a result when the DNA is copied or due to environmental factors like Ultraviolet radiation.

Majority of mutations have neither positive or negative effects on organisms the occur and they are called neutral mutations.

An example is silent points mutations which does not alter the amino acids it's encode.

Some Mutations have positive effects and some have negative effects which cause genetic disorder.
