Pepsin, a common enzyme found in the stomach, is most active at pH values between 0.5 and 2.5. It works slowly between pH values

of 2.6 and 3.4. Beyond a pH of about 3.5, it becomes completely inactive. Why does this happen?

As pepsin moves into pH range that is no longer highly acidic it works slowly until it becomes inactive because the less acidic the medium is, is the more the pepsin bonds, that is the bonds between the tertiary protein (pepsin is an enzyme), are broken and this cause a shift in the shape of the active site which means it would not be able to accept the substrate for reaction to take place.

The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because ______ is shuffled during meiosis.
tigry1 [53]

The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because <u>genetic information</u> is shuffled during meiosis.

Meiosis can be described as a cell division process by which gamete cells divide. The number of chromosomes is reduced to half in this cell division process.

During the process of meiosis, genetic information is shuffled between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. This shuffling process is referred to as crossing over. A new combination of alleles is formed due to the process of crossing over.

It is due to the process of crossing over that the organisms produced are not identical to each other or the parents. Genetic diversity is important in order for populations to survive which is possible through the process of meiosis.

Cystic fibrosis is a deadly disease of the lungs and digestive system. It is inherited as a recessive trait. How can two healthy
Ivanshal [37]
We'll make the alleles: Cc.

C is a healthy parent, and c is the cystic fibrosis (recessive).

If you make a punnett square and the parents are both Cc (healthy), then you would get CC, Cc, Cc, and cc. That cc is a 25% chance that the offspring will have that, which means there is a 25% chance the child will have cystic fibrosis.

Two healthy parents can have a child with cystic fibrosis if both the parents have the dominant allele and recessive allele, if both the parents have heterozygous alleles.

The case of little albert is used by behaviorists to explain ____.
ASHA 777 [7]
The answer is D. phobias. The little Albert experiment demonstrated that emotional responses can be conditioned in human beings. The 9 months boy was exposed to different stimuli which included a rabbit, masks, a white rat, burning newspapers and a monkey. After some time he was exposed to the white rat and later a loud noise of metal was made and it scared the boy. This exposure was repeated and eventually the boy became afraid of white furry things including animals.

Which organelle is responsible for digesting and breaking down materials within the cell
Bogdan [553]
The answer is Lysosome The enzymes that are responsible for breaking down the debris are synthesized in ER and they form small compartments by fusing with acidic vesicles and became organelles called lysosome<span> (in animals) or </span>vacuole (in plants and fungi).
