Answer:

May alter the specificity for its substrate

Explanation:

The active site of an enzyme refers to the specific region of an enzyme that serves as the binding site for its one or more substrates. Binding of substrates to the active site of their enzymes is required for catalysis. Enzymes are highly specific for their substrates. Type of amino acids present in the active site of the enzymes and their interactions with substrates regulate the specificity of the enzyme. If a mutation substitutes the amino acid of the active site, it may increase or decrease the specificity of the enzyme for its substrate.

"Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

G - 21%

T - 29%

A - 29%

Explanation:

Nucleotide bases in DNA are complementary. Adenosine (A) binds to Thymine (T) while Cytosine (C) binds to Guanine (G). Hence the composition of A in DNA is the same as that of T; and that of C is the same as that of G.

From the information given, C is 21%

Therefore G is also 21% of the genome as  C is bound to G, the therefore are the same proportion.

C and G make up 42% of the genome (that 21% + 21%).

The remaining 58% (100%-42%) is made up of A + T

Similarly the proportion of A is equal to that of T,

Hence A is 29% (half of 58%) and T is 29%.

What is runoff and what does it mean
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Runoff is nothing more than water "running off" the land surface.

<h3>Explenation:</h3>

Just as the water you wash your car with runs off down the driveway as you work, the rain that Mother Nature covers the landscape with runs off downhill, too (due to gravity). Runoff is an important component of the natural water cycle.
