Rough-skinned newts and common garter snakes are in an "evolutionary arms race." In this phenomenon, two species continually evo

lve adaptations against one another to increase their own chance of survival. Rough-skinned newts produce tetrodotoxin, a type of poison, as a defense mechanism. Most common garter snakes have some resistance to the toxin. In areas where common garter snakes and rough-skinned newts coexist, rough-skinned newts express very high levels of tetrodotoxin, and common garter snakes have evolved a very high degree of resistance to tetrodotoxin. Based on this information, what is the most likely relationship between common garter snakes and rough-skinned newts?
A.
obligate parasitism
B.
predator and prey
C.
facultative mutualism
D.
commensalism

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. predator and prey.

Predator and prey is a type of natural relationship in which one organism kills and consume the other organism.

For example, a lion is a predator which kills and consume deer (prey).  

During the course of evolution, prey evolves various adaptations to overcome predation and increases its survival rate.

In addition, a predator also evolves to increase its success rate in predation.

Similarly, rough-skinned newts (prey) evolve to produce poison as a defense mechanism and greater snakes (predator) evolve resistance against that poison to increase its survival rates.

List three conditions that would alter the activity of an enzyme. be specific with your explanation.
anyanavicka [17]
Three conditions (or inhibitors) will stop the enzyme's reaction from taking place. If another substance attaches to the site first the the reaction will not take place because the substrate can no longer attach to the active site. Conditions within the cell like temperature and acidity will also inhibit the reaction because it will change the shape of the active site which is very specific for the substrate that needs to attach to it. The enzyme will then become ineffective.
