Answer:

The correct answer is d FBP is a potent allosteric activator of phosphofructokinase and inhibitor of fructose bisphosphatase

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6 bisphosphate is formed from fructose-6-phosphate by the catalytic activity of phosphofructokinase 2 .The so formed fructose-2,6- bisphosphate activates the enzyme phosphofructokinase 1 resulting in conversion of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate to fructose -1,-bisphosphate.This is an important example of feed forward activation.

   On the other hand FBP act as an inhibitor of fructose bisphosphatase thus slowing down the rate of gluconeogenesis.

Clark's eyes are blue in color. However, both his parents have eyes that are brown in color. According to the dominant-recessive
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Both parents are heterozygous for the trait. They must be carriers of the recessive gene that codes for blue eyes.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the dominant gene codes for brown eyes while the recessive gene codes for blue eyes. We can suggest that both parents are carriers of the recessive gene. They both express brown eyes because they also have a dominant gene that codes for brown. Clark inherited one recessive allele from each parent, so he expresses blue eyes. The couple has a 75% probability of getting a brown-eyed child, while the probability of getting a blue-eyed child is 25%.

Why is it important to track our carbon and ecological footprint?.
igomit [66]

Answer:

The carbon footprint is a very important means to understand the impact of a person's behavior on global warming. This is why someone who effectively wants to contribute to stopping global warming, at least on an individual scale, needs to measure and keep track of their personal carbon footprint.

Why does a new DNA strand elongate only in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication? (A) DNA polymerase begins adding nucle
Georgia [21]

A new DNA strand elongate only in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication because the  "polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3' end" .

DNA replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3' OH group of the growing DNA strand, this is why DNA replication occurs only in the 5' to 3' direction.

DNA polymerase can only add to the 3' end, so the 5' end of the primer remains unaltered. Consequently, synthesis proceeds immediately only along the so-called leading strand.

Hence, the correct answer will be option (B)
