Answer:

a. inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase, the enzyme that converts cAMP to AMP.

Explanation:

The phosphodiesterases are a group of enzymes that are capable of breaking phosphodiester bonds such as those between nucleotides in nucleic acids. The Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger involved in intracellular signaling pathways. This molecule (cAMP) is hydrolyzed by the cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase, which catalyzes the enzymatic breakdown of phosphodiester bonds (i.e., hydrolyzing cAMP to 5-AMP). The cAMP levels are modulated by the balance between its generation and the degradation via cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

this note might help you :

Explanation:

If the enzyme changes shape, the active site may no longer bind to the appropriate substrate and the rate of reaction will decrease. Dramatic changes to the temperature and pH will eventually cause enzymes to denature.

A parent that is heterozygous for both traits (AaBb) can create how many different allele possibilities.
MAVERICK [17]
Distribute the A to the B and the b, then the a to the B and the b. You should get four different possible combinations: AB Ab aB ab. These would then be used to set up one side of a punnett square, and the other parent's genotype would be set up the same, then put on the other side of the punnett square.
