Prostatic acid phosphatase was purified from prostatic fluid. Monospecific antisera to the purified acid phosphatase was then produced in rabbits. When antibody was coupled with acid phosphatase, the enzymatic activity was markedly stabilized against pH and temperature degradation. Both acid phosphatase and rabbit anti acid phosphatase were non specifically coupled to Sepharose-4B using cyanogen bromide. Under these circumstances slight stability occurred when antibody was bound to Sepharose, and then acid phosphatase added to the gel antibody complex. When acid phosphatase was complexed to Sepharose, no stabilization occurred.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
First, the image tells that chromosomes are made up of genes or that genes are located on chromosomes. It further showed that genes are translated as proteins in the cell and this protein respectively control the expression of traits.
Secondly, it also showed that during sexual reproduction, the offspring produced usually have the same proteins as the parent and therefore have exactly the same traits as the parent. Only one parent is needed for asexual reproduction.
<u>However, two parents are needed for sexual reproduction where each parent donate chromosomes containing gene to the genome of their offpsring. The mixture of genes ensures that the offspring look different from the parent.</u>
<em>The image further showed that asexual reproduction does not lead to any variation while sexual reproduction leads to variation of the offpsring from their parents.</em>
