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.

Which Mimulus species would you categorize as mainly asexual reproducers? Why? A. M. rupestris and M. eastwoodiae; they put more
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: C. M. rupestris, M. eastwoodiae, and M. nelsonii; they put more energy into making rooted branches than they put into making nectar and seeds.

Explanation:

In asexual mode of reproduction the plant does not produce gametes. The plant reproduce through vegetative propagation or spore formation. The plant does not produce nectar as no flowers are produced to attract the pollinators.

In sexual mode of reproduction the plant will develop the gametes and flowers will produce the nectar to attract the pollinators.

Thus on the basis of above explaination, C is the correct option. As the plants will invest more energy in making roots which are the organs for vegetative propagation a process of asexual reproduction.

A clone is a creature made from the DNA of a single cell.<br><br> True<br><br> False
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Sort of, true.

Explanation:

Cloning is when you take the DNA of a somatic cell of the animal you are trying to clone and add it to an embryo. It will then develop into a baby with the same DNA as the other animal.

(but in my opinion, you're just giving the test animal a sibling.)

Your roommate, who has not studied climate, says, "I thought the greenhouse effect was a bad thing. Isn't it what's causing glob
Masja [62]

Answer:

b) and c)

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere.  Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.

Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.

Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.

Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.

<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect. </em>
