Type 2 diabetes (insulin-independent diabetes) is a non-infectious disease. If not treated this disease is characterised by larg

e fluctuations in the concentration of glucose in the blood Maltase is an enzyme that completes the digestion of starch in humans Molecules of maltase are bound to the microvilli of epithelial cells in the small intestine Ascorbate is a drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Molecules of ascorbic have a very similar shape to that of the substrate for maltase. (1) Explain how ascorbase acts to inhibit these membrane-bound enzymes.

Answer: Ascorbase a form of ascorbate, a drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes which acts to inhibit maltase a membrane bound enzyme that completes the digestion of starch in the human body.this inhibition is done through;

- By preventing substrates from binding to the active site therefore forming few enzyme complex substrates.

- it also inhibits the enzymes by binding to the active sites of that enzyme.

- it also does so by reacting slowly and also because it has a complementary shape to the active site of the enzyme maltase.

Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Give examples.
pashok25 [27]
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype over the mean or another extreme. Examples of directional selection include giraffes that have long necks and the darkening of London's peppered moths after the Industrial Revolution.

Stabilizing selection, also known as purifying selection, is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value. An example of stabilizing selection is birth weigh in humans.

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that shows a preference toward the reproduction of genetic material at the extremes within a population.One of the most studied examples of disruptive selection is the case of ​London's peppered moths.
