Answer:

There is a 50% probability of producing pink flowers.

Explanation:

A dominant trait can be described as a trait that masks the effect of a recessive trait. A recessive trait can be described as a trait that is suppressed by a dominant trait.

Homozygous means that both alleles of a gene are similar whereas heterozygous means that the alleles of a gene are different.

Let's consider pink to be a dominant trait and white to be a recessive trait. Consider the pink flower to be heterozygous (RR') and the white flower to be recessive and hence homozygous (R'R'). When these plants are cross-bred, there will be a 50% chance that the offsprings will be white coloured and 50% chance that the offsprings will be heterozygous and will have pink colour.

mart [117]

Answer:

Option A, a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract

Explanation:

The complete question is

If you were working for a pharmaceutical company as part of a drug discovery team, which of these enzyme inhibitors would you suggest as a productive avenue for drug development?

a) a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract

b) a drug to treat diabetes that irreversibly inhibits an enzyme in the metabolic pathway to synthesize glucose

c) a compound that acts as a competitive inhibitor for a digestive enzyme produced only in the presence of certain foods

d) a compound that inhibits enzymes by significantly changing the ph throughout the body

Solution

Productive avenue of a drug simply means producing an drug that not only treats the main disease or disorder but also functions to inhibit the causative agent activity. In case of option A, both the objectives of producing drug are met and hence it is the right choice.

High blood pressure usually affects the blood vessels by narrowing them and in severe cases may rupture them. If a drug as stated in option A is produced, it will not only rectify the effects of high blood pressure but will also prevent the blood vessels from narrowing by inhibiting the activity of enzymes responsible for producing chemical that leads to blood vessel contraction.

Hence, option A is correct

What effect does increased carbon dioxide
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide increases temperatures, extending the growing season and increasing humidity. Both factors have led to some additional plant growth. However, warmer temperatures also stress plants. With a longer, warmer growing season, plants need more water to survive.
