Answer: Option D.

Genotype by environment interaction.

Explanation:

Genotype by environment interaction refer to a situation where two different genotypes react differently in an environment. Light skinned humans are at greater risk of skin cancer because they lack melanin which the dark people have and this melanin protect the skin from sun.

All the choices are correct. Differences in the norm of reaction I.e they react different way.

Epistasis is when the effect of a gene suppress the other.

Pleiotrophy is when a gene influence another genes phenotipically. These are all genotype enviromr interaction.

Once amylase has broken down starch, can it break down another starch molecule?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Yes, amylase can be reused, and when fulfills its catalytic function, it is free to catalyze the breakdown of another starch molecule.

Explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme capable of catalyzing the breakdown of starch bonds, separating it into glucose molecules.

The enzymes, including amylase, have the property of being free and without structural alteration when catalyzing a reaction, to bind to the specific substrate and catalyze a new reaction.

Amylase is not consumed, unlike a reagent, so it can be reused in new reactions.

What is true of saturated fatty acids?
anzhelika [568]

<u>Answer:</u>  They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

<em>Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A fatty acid that doesn’t contain any double bond between carbons in their molecular structure is known as saturated fatty acid. They are also incapable of absorbing hydrogen in their molecular structure thus the name.

Saturated fatty acids are generally found in animal fats like butter, milk and dairy products. Because of the higher melting point of those fatty acids, they are generally found in solid state at reem temperature.
