Garrod's information about the enzyme alteration resulting in alkaptonuria led to further elucidation of the same pathway in hum

ans. Phenylketonuria (PKU) occurs when another enzyme in the pathway is altered or missing, resulting in a failure of phenylalanine (phe) to be metabolized to another amino acid: tyrosine. Tyrosine is an earlier substrate in the pathway altered in alkaptonuria. How might PKU affect the presence or absence of alkaptonuria?
A) It would have no effect, because PKU occurs several steps away in the pathway.
B) It would have no effect, because tyrosine is also available from the diet.
C) Anyone with PKU must also have alkaptonuria.
D) Anyone with PKU is born with a predisposition to later alkaptonuria.
E) Anyone with PKU has mild symptoms of alkaptonuria.

Answer:

B) It would have no effect, because tyrosine is also available from the diet.

Explanation:

The enzyme phenylalanine hydrolase converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. Any effects in this time would not allow the conversion of phenylalanine into tyrosine. However, it does not affect much since tyrosine is an amino acid that can be obtained from the diet. Therefore, the person deficient in the enzyme or having a malfunctioning enzyme can be given tyrosine supplements and can obtain the same from dairy products, oats, and wheat which are good sources of tyrosine.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.
