As food travels through the digestive system it is exposed to a variety of pH levels. The stomach has a pH of 2 due to the prese

nce of Hydrochloride acid and the smallest intestine has a pH ranging from 7 to 9. HCI converts pepsinogen into pepsin an enzyme that digests proteins in the stomach. Which of the following most likely happens to pepsin as it enters the small intestine.
The pepsin begins to replicate
The pepsin’s activity increases to digest more proteins
The pepsin becomes inactive
The pepsin’s shape changes to engulf large proteins

Answer:

The answer is C. Pepsin becomes inactive as soon as it reaches small intestine.

Explanation:

Enzymes are pH specific. They once work at those specific values and if those are changed they either degrade or become inactive. The pH of stomach is acidic and that of the small intestine is basic. Therefore the enzymes will become inactive when it enters small intestine.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The phenotypic ratio will be 3:1

Explanation:

As per this question there are two phenotypes for seed color, yellow and green. Both the parents are true breeding that means they are homozygous for this trait. Also, all the F1 plants have yellow seed color which clearly indicates that yellow seed color is a dominant trait while green is recessive trait.

The cross of true breeding plants as mentioned above is depicted as under:

Parents                             YY    x   yy

                                          /   \       /   \

F1 generation                Yy   Yy  Yy   Yy

So, as per the law of dominance because of the presence of Y allele, all these progeny will be yellow in color.

Next, when these F1 plants will be crossed, the result will be as under:

F1 generation                    Yy   x    Yy

                                         /   \         /   \

F2 generation               YY   Yy   Yy   yy

The genotypic ratio of F2 generation is 1:2:1

The phenotypic ratio of F2 generation is 3:1

It simply means that in F2 generation, 3 progeny which have allelic combination YY & Yy will be yellow colored while 1 progeny which has allelic combination yy will have green color.
