ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project
EXPLANATION:
Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.
The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.
However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.
In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.
Lactase refers to an enzyme that can dissociate lactose sugar into glucose and galactose. This enzyme plays an important role in the digestion of milk that comprises high lactose sugar. In case, if a mutation occurs in the gene codon of lactase, then two possibilities can take place. These are as follows:
1. Loss of mutation: In this case, the person becomes lactose intolerant because of mutation in lactase gene codon. Due to this, there is low mRNA expression and thus low production of the enzyme lactase. This is also known as lactase non-persistent phenotype.
2. Gain in mutation: In this case, the person gain an increase in mRNA expression of the lactase gene, thus more production of lactase takes place than usual. This kind of individual exhibits lactase persistent phenotype.
Answer:
The correct answer is - temperature, pH, substrate concentration.
Explanation:
Various factors affect the rate of enzymatic reaction such as pH, temperature, substrate concentration, availability of activators or inhibitors in the reactions, and enzyme concentration.
Temperature: Temperature affects the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Like most of the reactions with an increase in temperature rate of enzymatic reaction also rises up to a maximum level and then declines if the temperature continues to increase as enzyme denatures after a particular temperature.
pH: Similar to the temperature pH also increases the rate of reaction up to a maximum level and then declines the rate as every enzyme acts only at an optimum pH range.
Substrate concentration: If the substrate concentration is increased gradually while the concentration enzyme remains constant, the rate of reaction will increase until it reaches a maximum.
Uranium is not a fossil fuel.
The answer to this is Lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, glycerol and fatty acids.
