Some proteins catalyze biochemical reactions. If a genetic defect prevented a protein catalyst from being produced which of the
following would happen in a cell? A. the cell would find a different type of protein to catalyze the reaction.
B. The reaction the protein catalyzes would proceed very slowly or not at all.
C. The reaction the protein catalyzes would only occur in some places in the cell.
D. The reverse reaction of the one the protein catalyzes would begin to proceed.
I believe option B would be the correct choice because, without a catalyst, the reaction will be either too slow or will not happen at all as it would not acquire a fitting activation energy for the reaction. If you would like to know why the other options are incorrect, please read on: Option A is incorrect because since proteins are specific in nature, so other protein cannot be replaced, for some other chemical reaction. Option C is not correct it is a genetic defect that the protein does not form, and all cells are genetically identical, a reaction cannot take place in any parts of the body. And finally, option D would be wrong because if a forward reaction does not take place, a backwards reaction will not occur. I hope this answer has helped, and I apologise if somehow this answer finds itself to be incorrect. Good luck on your quiz or homework. :)
She could use a control to compare her data to and make sure it is cleaner. Ex. Use the old detergent on ten shirts and then use the new detergent on another ten shirts. She would then compare the shirts she did each detergent on and come up with her conclusion.
The genetically modified organisms are the organisms in which the genetic make up of the organism is altered. So that these organisms produce better yield and so as to improve their quality. The aim of genetic engineering in organisms is to develop or introduce a new trait in the organisms, which does not occur in the natural species. Thus the given statement is false as genetically modified organisms are reproducible.
