The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.

An enzyme acts to speed up chemical reactions, and enzymes are proteins. They act as catalysts to lower the activation energy needed to start certain chemical reactions.

Which of the following observations did Mendel make as a result of his experiments with dihybrid crosses?
Vinvika [58]

The correct answer is: B) Different traits are inherited separately.

Mendel’s conclusions as a result of his experiments with dihybrid crosses are known as Mendel’s laws.

• Mendel’s law of Segregation: During the gametes formation (meiosis), alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene

• Mendel’s law of Independent Assortment: The segregation of alleles of one gene is independent to that of any other gene

Mendel also defined the Principle of Dominance: Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles when are together in heterozygous genotype.
