Answer:

The correct answer would be (B) Proteins will not fit into the active site of the amylase enzyme.  

Enzymes are biocatalyst which accelerates the rate of a biochemical reaction.

They are highly specific to their substrate.

This high specificity is obtained with the help of the active site.  

Every enzyme has the active site in which a particular substrate can fit or bind.

Similarly, salivary amylase also contains an active site which is specific for the polysaccharides like starch.  

Proteins are not able to fit or bind to this active site due to which they are digested through amylase.

netineya [11]

The blue-white screen refers to a procedure of screening that allows for the brisk and convenient determination of recombinant bacteria in vector-based molecular cloning experiments. In the process, the DNA of interest is ligated into a vector. The blue colonies constitute of self-relegated plasmids that are devoid of DNA inserts obstructing the lac Z gene.  

The white colonies contain bacteria that conduct plasmids, which possess the inserts of DNA fragments that obstruct the lac Z gene. Therefore, the researcher needs to sequence the plasmids of the white colonies prior to knowing which allele it constitutes.

how does the process of meiosis, independent assortment, and allele segregation affect the characteristics that offspring inheri
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

It results in the production of new combinations of alleles due to which offspring can have different characters than both the parents.

In meiosis, the genes are randomly segregated and the alleles of genes are independently assorted to produce haploid gametes.

When the gametes of male and female fuses, they form the zygote with a unique or new combination of alleles as compared to that of parents.

It increases the genetic variations in the population.
