Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. A nitrogen base has been added to the DNA molecule.  

Explanation:

You can see that the sequence for the nitrogen bases are in the exact same order after the exposure, this rules out A.  You can count how many bases there are, 7 before and 8 after so it cannot be B. Lastly, given that they are in the same order as were before and that a base has been added, you can see that no bases were replaced (so not C) and that D is your answer.

What are characteristics of allosteric enzymes?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

(B) They may have binding sites for regulatory molecules that are separate from active sites.

(C) They generally have more than one subunit.

(E) They interconvert between a more active form and a less active form.

Explanation:

Allosteric enzymes are the regulatory enzymes that have a specific site for binding of modulator or effector molecule. The activity of these enzymes is altered by the noncovalent binding of modulators at the allosteric site. The binding of the modulator brings about a conformational change in the allosteric enzymes.

The relatively inactive conformation of these enzymes is called T state while the active conformation is the R state. Most of the allosteric enzymes have multiple subunits and deviate from Michaelis–Menten kinetics and exhibit a sigmoid saturation curve of V0 vs. [S].
