If an enzyme has a single optimal temperature, then an organism might have difficulty dealing with an environment with wide temp

erature variation. What adaptive advantage is there in having repetitive enzyme systems (i.e., more than one enzyme to catalyze the same reaction) that we know many organisms have?

Answer:

Having a repetitive enzyme system would allow more than one enzyme to catalyze a particular reaction. If one of the types of enzyme is not able to perform its function due to temperature or any other factor, then another kind of enzyme would be able to catalyze the reaction. Hence, having repetitive enzyme systems is very effective in carrying out the metabolic functions of the body even when conditions are not favourable.

Describe what occurs between water molecules in hydrogen bonding. Draw a diagram, labeling the hydrogen bond.
shusha [124]

Answer:

The molecules are attracted to their less negative side.

Explanation:

The Oxygen in the water molecule will share or the hydrogens lone atom leaving the hydrogen with a more positive charge like in the picture I've added. This happens with all water molecules leaving the oxygen with more electrons and ultimately the more negative side. And positive and negative forces attract, so the now "positive" hydrogens will bond with the now "negative" oxygens. They form bonds using polarity, and use a very strong dipole dipole effect.

A researcher is creating pedigrees for a trait he suspects to be dominant in humans. what are some of the likely features of his
xz_007 [3.2K]
A feature of a pedigree that indicate that a certain trait is a dominant trait is that one of the parents always have to have the trait.

There are, however, autosomal dominance and X-linked dominance.

For an autosomal dominant trait: 
- Appears equally frequent in both sexes.
- Both sexes transmit the trait.
- Present in all generations.
- When one parent has the trait and the other doesn't, approximately half of the offspring will present the trait.

For a X-linked dominant trait: 
- Both male and females can present the trait, but more females usually present it.
- Sons with the trait always have a mother that presents the trait as well.
- Daughters with the trait always have either a mother or father that presents the trait, or both.
- Fathers with the trait always have daughters with the same trait.
