Enzymes are proteins that are biological catalysts
They reduce the activation energy required for a reaction to occur and thus speed up a reaction
Temperature, above a certain point (optimum temperature) causes them to break down and they are gradually destroyed (denaturing)
They work best at a particular pH (optimum pH) and are once again destroyed by low or high pH's
They have a specific shape, with one particular part, known as the active site, that is specific to the substrate they speed the reaction of. These means they are specific to one type of reaction.
They aren't used in the reaction so they're re-usable.
If it isn't one of these then it is not one of the properties of enzymes

Answer:
There's 25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 75% of it being a dwarf.
Explanation:
Achondroplasia (A) is a dominant trait.
Two achondroplastic dwarfs (A_ x A_) have a dwarf child (A_) and a normal child (aa). The second child must be aa because if it had a dominant allele it would also be dwarf.
The only way for two achondroplastic parents to have a normal child is that <u>they are both heterozygous (Aa) for this gene.</u>
The cross Aa x Aa would produce the following offspring probabilities:
- 1/4 AA - dwarf
- 2/4 Aa - dwarf
- 1/4 aa - normal
So there's 1/4=25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 3/4=75% of it being a dwarf.
The answer is B, I think.
