<span>Amylase needs an optimum pH for its activity. It is in the range of 6-7. Below or above pH will denature this enzyme. The pH level is optimum for this enzyme in the mouth and hence it catalyses the break down of sugar. The pH level of stomach is lower than its optimum level duet to the activity of gastric acid. Hence the enzyme becomes inactive in the stomach.</span>

John had unattached earlobes like his father, but his mother has attached earlobes. What is johns genotype with unattached being
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Genotype refers to the complete genetic make-up and can also be referred to as the alleles an organism carries on a particular gene.

John's genotype with unattached being dominant is Aa.

  • Using A to represent the alleles
  • Since his mother has attached earlobes, her condition can only be inherited in the recessive condition (aa).
  • So for John to have an unattached earlobe, his father has to be either AA or Aa.
  • Therefore John's genotype would be Aa
