Answer: Option E) None of the above is true; this enzyme could bind none of these.

Explanation:

Lactose is a dissacharide composed of glucose and galactose. Hence, the enzyme lactase break down lactose into its simple sugar constituents.

However, lactase cannot bind nor break down amino acids, starch (with only glucose units) or sucrose (with two glucose units) because their constituent molecules differ markedly from that of lactose.

Thus, the enzyme lactase could bind with none of the options provided except lactose

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

This question lacks options, however, it can be answered based on general understanding of the topic

The answer is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION

Explanation:

A mutation is any change that occurs in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs. One type of mutation is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION, which is a mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is replaced by another in the sequence.

Nucleotide bases are read in a group of three called CODON. Each of these codons specify amino acid. Hence, if the nucleotide base sequence is altered during mutation, the amino acid sequence is altered likewise. In this case where the original amino acid sequence is: Met-Ala-Gln-Arg-Glu-Leu, the mutation affected the nucleotide bases coding for Arginine (Arg), hence changing it to Glycine (Gly).

This means that a base substitution mutation occured, replacing the amino acid Arginine with Glycine in the mutated sequence.

What is the best explanation as to why the Thwaites Glacier is melting so rapidly?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide has been released by the burning of fossil fuels. This process is increasing the ocean's water temperature resulting in the glacier melting

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide emissions have constantly been on the rise ever since the Industrial Revolution occurred. The burning of the fossil fuels is the main reason why there is such high quantity of this gas released into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, thus it contributes to the arming up of the atmosphere. Because the atmosphere is warming up, the water is warming up as well. The higher temperature of the water results in melting of the glaciers, such as Thwaites Glacier. As the process continues, more and more of the glacier will be melted, with the end result being relatively big rise of the sea level.
