If a particular gene is located on the Z chromosome of this lizard species, describe why a lizard with a ZW genotype has a great

er probability of expressing the recessive phenotype for the trait than a lizard with the ZZ genotype does.

Answer:

The ZW is the sex-determination system for offsprings for some organisms such as birds, some reptiles etc.

According to this system, the females have the sex chromosomes Z and W. Males have the sex chromosome ZZ.

Females have a greater chance for expressing a recessive phenotype because they will need only one recessive allele on their Z chromosomes to express the recessive phenotype. On the contrary, males will have a lesser chance because in order to show the recessive phenotype they would require both the alleles on the Z chromosomes to be recessive.

How do enzymes act as catalysts? (Choose ALL that apply) They allow for fewer collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates) The
vazorg [7]

Answer:

- They allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates)

- They lower the amount of activation energy needed to complete the reaction.

- They speed up chemical reactions to form more products

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serves as catalyst in living systems. Like every other catalyst, enzymes function to SPEED UP the rate of biochemical reactions by LOWERING/REDUCING the activation energy, which is the energy required for a reactant to form product (completion of reaction).

Enzymes like other catalysts causes faster movement of molecules in the reaction i.e. they allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates). This causes the rate of reaction to increase and hence, speeden the reaction.

just olya [345]

Answer: Option b

Explanation:In chemistry,

before any reaction would occurs, reactat must be able to overcome some certain amount of energy which is called the activation. The activation energy is usually the heat that is suppled.it is also refered to as the minimum energy needed before any reaction can take place. For reaction to take place, there must be an equilibrium( at constant temperature and pressure.

When an athlete is nearing the end of a race ad her cells are low on oxygen?
Artemon [7]
<span>When an athlete is nearing the end of a race and her cells are low on oxygen, it is likely to be fermentation. When cells have used up all their oxygen they ferment glucose into lactic acid. Fermentation is a metabolic process that consumes sugar in the absence of oxygen</span>
