The first model of enzyme action was proposed in 1894 by Emil Fischer. In this model, the lock is the enzyme and the key is the

substrate. Only the correctly sized key (substrate) fits into the key hole (active site) of the lock (enzyme). Much later, in 1958, the induced fit model was suggested by Daniel Koshland. The induced-fit theory assumes that the substrate plays a role in determining the final shape of the enzyme and that the enzyme is partially flexible. This explains why certain compounds can bind to the enzyme but do not react because the enzyme has been distorted too much. Which model BEST represents the newer version of the enzyme action model?

Answer:

The correct answer is "the induced fit model".

Explanation:

The first model that looked to explain the enzyme and substrate interaction was the "lock and key" model. Although this model helped scientists to understand the specificity nature of the interaction enzyme-substrate, it does not reflect reality since enzyme was portrayed as a lock with a structure that doesn't change during the catalysis. Then half century later "The induced-fit theory" was proposed which fits much better the newer version of the enzyme action model. In this theory the enzyme is partially flexible and its structure changes as a result of its interaction with the substrate.

Knowing what we know about the link between genetics, environment and intelligence, what would be your expectations if you were
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

I would expect them to perform similar.

Explanation:

Studies suggest that intelligence has a genetic component and can, in part, be passed from parent to child - but not only that. There are outer components that contribute to the formation of intelligent individuals. Better nutrition and more access to education would be possible explanations for the progressive increase in intelligence test scores over time.

Homozygous twins are those that are mainly characterized by similarity between individuals. These twins are formed from the same zygote, ie after the fertilization process. Because of this characteristic, they have the same genetic heritage and are therefore considered identical.

As the homozygous twins in their classroom have the same genetic heritage and attend the same environment, we can conclude that their intelligence is influenced by the same factors. For this reason, a teacher who taught these two brothers might have expectations that they would perform similarly in the classroom.
