Answer: C. A substrate
Explanation:
A substrate is a substance on which an enzyme act. The enzyme acts on substrate X and converts it to Y.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Because water vapour is a gas and evaporation is the process of turning a liquid into a gas so the water which is the liquid turns into water vapour the gas
Answer:
The percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%
Explanation:
They are two alleles, the phenylthiocarbamide tasters (PTC) and the non phenylthiocarbamide tasters (non PTC). PTC testers are dominant and non PTC tasters are recessive.
let the frequency of the dominant allele(A) be p
and the frequency of the recessive allele(a) be q
We are told that 64 percent of people living in a remote, isolated mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefore, have at least one copy of the dominant PTC taster allele (that is AA and Aa)
Frequency of AA = p², Frequency of Aa = 2pq and Frequency of aa = q²
Therefore p² + 2pq = 64% = 0.64
According to Hardy–Weinberg:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and
p + q = 1
Since p² + 2pq = 0.64
∴ 0.64 + q² = 1
q² = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36
q = √0.36 = 0.6
Since p + q = 1
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
The frequency of heterozygous = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48
Therefore the percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%
Answer:
The correct answer is: exonuclease activity.
Explanation:
DNA Polymerase is an enzyme of critical importance for the replication of the DNA. DNA needs to be replicated so, when entering Mitosis, each daughter cell can have a copy of the genetic material they need.
DNA Polymerase has an exonuclease activity in which mismatched nucleotides are removed from the newly replicated DNA strand in order to prevent mutations that can lead to malfunctioning or harmful proteins.
