An extremely efficient enzyme called "efficase" catalyzes the conversion of "A" to "B." A researcher decides to mutate the enzym

e in order to try to improve its performance. Following active site mutations, a significant reduction in the value of KM and Vmax was observed. Which of the following may have occurred?
A) The affinity of the enzyme for the substrate was increased to a point which did not favor propagation (continuation) of the reaction.B) The decrease in V max was not related to the decrease in K M .C) If the reaction was first-order, the change in K M cannot have affected V max .D) The stability of E+S (E+A as written above) was increased, thereby increasing the K M .E) The reverse reaction (breakdown of EA to E+A) was favored, slowing the V max .

Which disappears more rapidly from a population, a deleterious dominant allele or a deleterious recessive allele?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Selection is a directional process that leads to an increase or a decrease in the frequency of genes or genotypes. Selection is the process that increases the frequencies of plant resistance alleles in natural ecosystems through coevolution, and it is the process that increases the frequencies of virulence alleles in agricultural ecosystems during boom and bust cycles.

Selection occurs in response to a specific environmental factor. It is a central topic of population and evolutionary biology. The consequence of natural selection on the genetic structure and evolution of organisms is complicated. Natural selection can decrease the genetic variation in populations of organisms by selecting for or against a specific gene or gene combination (leading to directional selection). It can increase the genetic variation in populations by selecting for or against several genes or gene combinations (leading to disruptive selection or balancing selection). Natural selection might lead to speciation through the accumulation of adaptive genetic differences among reproductively isolated populations. Selection can also prevent speciation by homogenizing the population genetic structure across all locations.

Selection in plant pathology is mainly considered in the framework of gene-for-gene coevolution. Plant pathologists often think in terms of Van der Plank and his concept of "stabilizing selection" that would operate against pathogen strains with unnecessary virulence. As we will see shortly, Van der Plank used the wrong term, as he was actually referring to directional selection against unneeded virulence alleles.

How does Caenorhabditis elegans extract the energy it needs for growth and maintenance?
nika2105 [10]
The worm feeds via a "pumping" action in which it first uptakes the fluid surrounding it. Then, it expels the fluid while trapping any bacteria within it. The bacteria are then digested for energy and nutrients.
