Enzymes and a single substrate use the lock-and-key mechanism.
The "lock" is the enzyme and the "key" is the substrate

Answer:

Enzymes and Substrate

Explanation:

The lock and Key mechanism was first postulated in 1894 by Emil Fischer. In this analogy, the lock is the enzyme which has a definite shape, with only a keyhole which fits exactly to the right key, that its then the substrate. This mechanism is used to explain the way enzymes are specific or can only degrade a certain substrate.

Answer:

Amino acid sequences

Explanation:

The proteins perform the vast majority of functions in the cells. If a gene between a human and a mouse is evolutionarily related, it means that the function they do in the cell is quite similar in both species. This is the reason why the amino acid sequence would be the most similar.

In addition, there might be certain mutations in the DNA and therefore in the RNA between this 2 sequences that encode to the same amino acid sequence. More specifically speaking, there are more than one codon that encode to the same aminoacid. Thus, 2 different DNA/RNA sequence can give the same aminoacid sequence.

Question 5

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid occurs faster if the liquid is cooled. Hence the correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid occurs faster than a solid. Solid solute takes much time to be dissolved in a solvent. This is because of the bonding. The bond of the solid is is much stronger when compared to the gaseous state. This is one of the reasons of gaseous dissolving faster than solid.

A gaseous state is defined as a material whose atoms are not closely attached with one another and is free to move in any direction. And when we have to mix gas in a liquid in a faster rate the liquid temperature should be lowered.
