The enzyme becomes denatured when this occurs.
Answer;
-Genetic heterogeneity and epistasis.
Explanation;
-Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue that holds all the body's cells, organs and tissue together.
-Genetic heterogeneity is defined as mutations at two or more genetic loci that produce the same or similar phenotypes. Genetic heterogeneity may be either; allelic heterogeneity, which occurs when a similar phenotype is produced by different alleles within the same gene; or locus heterogeneity, which occurs when a similar phenotype is produced by mutations at different loci.
-A gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus. Epistatic genes are sometimes called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.
-From these descriptions the marfan syndrome demonstrates both genetic heterogeneity and epistasis.
Answer: Efficient functioning.
Explanation:
Cells require a lot of substances to both come into and leave the cell in order for the cell to accomplish it's functions. These substances can be anything from carbohydrates to water and they come into the cell through diffusion and osmosis.
The thing about diffusion however, is that it happens faster over shorter distances than longer distances. This is why cells are so small. They evolved to be that size to ensure that diffusion of these substances takes place relatively quickly so that they can use these substances to carry out their functions at a faster rate.
