<span>Chromosomes, especially homologous chromosomes exchange genetic materials through translocation of their parts in a process called crossing over. If the exchange between the chromosomes is balanced and preserves the proper complement of genetic material, then the chances of the probability of mutation are low. However, if this translocation is uneven and disrupts the regulation of genes (such as activate an oncogene or inhibit a tumor suppressor gene probably due to multiple fusions at a single locus) then the chances of cancer are high. </span>

Which one of the following statements holds true for the induced-fit model? Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate mole

muminat

<span>Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate molecule, structural changes can occur in the active site to accommodate the product. This structural change lowers the activations energy and increases the rate of the reaction. The active site changes its shape until an enzyme-substrate complex is formed and activated.</span>
