Answer:
b. A transferase deficiency will result in an accumulation of the toxic metabolite galactosse 1-phosphate.
c. A galactokinase deficiency will cause an accumulation of galactose.
Explanation:
Transferase is an enzyme which is responsible for the breakdown of galactose which is a known milk sugar. Its deficiency causes the formation of toxic materials such as galactose-1-phosphate which comes from galactose, and galactitol. Galactokinase is also an enzyme which helps in the conversion of galactose into galactose 1-phosphate with the expenditure of ATP molecule, so its deficiency causes the deposition of galactose.
The antibiotic called ampicillin was not effective against E.coli.
Answer: D
Explanation:
E.coli is normal microbial flora which is present in the gut of the mammals.
It is gram negative bacteria and very few strains of this bacteria causes harm.
Antibiotics are the chemical drugs which are used to treat the microbial infection either by killing the causative organism or by its growth inhibition.
Antibiotics such as neomycin, penicillin and erythromycin are usually used to treat E.coli infection.
Antibiotic such as Ampicillin is not used as the bacterium E.coli is highly resistant to it.
Animals of the same general body types having the same anatomy is True.
Anatomy is the study of the body parts, structures and functions of
organisms.
In situations where animals have the same general body type , then it means
they also have the same anatomy. A good example is mammals which have
the same structure of body parts and the same anatomy.
Organisms with different body structures however have an entirely different
anatomy which is why True is the most appropriate choice.

Answer:
The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.
Explanation:
- Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
- A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
- This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
- The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
- Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
- The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
- However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
- This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
- In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
- This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
The metal heats faster than the water because it requires less energy to heat it up (it has a lower heat capacity). 4. Why do you think different substances heat up and cool down at different rates? ... Water has a very high potential energy due the intermolecular forces between the polar water molecules.
