The correct answer is speciation.
Speciation is the term that describes the evolutionary process causing populations to evolve into different species. There are four different types of speciation: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric and sympatric. In this case, the process described is an allopatric speciation, the most common of these four types. Allopatric speciation happens when populations are geographically separated, an event that obstructs the gene flow. Since the gene flow stops, the populations evolve in response to the different environments that they live in.

The eukaryote that has a similar mode of nutrition to that of the white blood cells is AMOEBA.
Amoeba feed on microscopic organisms. When amoeba encounter a food particle, it extends its pseudopodia around the food particle and ingest it. The food particle which is now in the food vacuole of amoeba is broken down and digested by mean of digesting enzymes secreted by the organism.

The presence of a negative allosteric effector on an allosteric protein would: a. cause a shift to the left in the sigmoidal cur
Feliz [49]

Answer:

d. raise the apparent value of the equilibrium constant, L.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation is a type of regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the protein's active site (i.e., the allosteric site). The equilibrium constant (L) refers to the transition between two forms of an allosteric protein in absence of a ligand. The properties of allosteric enzymes are explained by conformational changes associated with a low-affinity tense (T) state, or a high-affinity relaxed (R) state. Negative allosteric effectors are molecules that bind to the allosteric site on an enzyme in order to decrease its activity, thereby leading the enzyme to a low activity T state and thus increasing the value of the equilibrium constant.
