Some scientists claim that the gene that controls the production of h e m o g l o b I n, is located at the position shown in the

diagram.
What is the best evidence for this claim?
A) Humans without this gene exhibit problem with oxygen binding in their red blood cells.
B) Other organisms that require oxygen have similar genes in similar locations.
C) Nearby genes on the chromosome are thought to control other blood factors.

Answer:

A) Humans without this gene exhibit problem with oxygen binding in their red blood cells.

Explanation:

  • Oxygen binds to red blood cells because of their hemoglobin component. It is a protein found in red blood cells.
  • Each hemoglobin molecule is able to bind to four oxygen molecules.
  • If the gene controlling hemoglobin production is absent in humans, the red blood cells will not be able to bind to oxygen.
  • Hence, if the gene given in diagram is removed and it results in difficulty in binding of oxygen to red blood cells, that gene might be involved in hemoglobin production.

Metabolic pathways can be controlled through the availability of enzymes and modulation of their catalytic activities. Enzyme av
postnew [5]

Answer: a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification

Explanation:

Metabolic pathways involve all the chemical processes takes place in the enviornment or in an organisms.The metabolic pathways are controlled through the catalytic activities of enzymes.

The availability of enzyme is regulated  by substrate and cofactors present in enzyme and enzyme activity is commonly regulated via covalent modification.

Enzymes are highly selective in nature and bind to a specific substarte only. The active site in enzyme binds with the substrate to form enzyme substrate complex. Coactors assist the enzyme activity, without cofactor enzyme can not perform its activity.

Hence enzyme availibility is regulated by  substrate and cofactors regulates.

Covalent modifications regulates activity of enzyme as it involves addition and removal of chemical group to synthesis required protein. It can change the chemical properties of the site by targeting one or multiple amino acid.

Thus the correct answer is a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification

Anna [14]

Answer;

No, the petal is not alive according to the characteristics of life

Explanation;

-This is because the flower petal on it's own can not Grow, or Reproduce, Adapt to it's Environment, Use Energy, or Respond to it's Environment.

-Growth, reproduction, response, and respiration are some of the characteristics of living organisms, therefore for anything to be considered living it must possess these characteristics.

Surface tension is an example of ?​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Surface tension depends mainly upon the forces of attraction between the particles within the given liquid and also upon the gas, solid, or liquid in contact with it. The molecules in a drop of water, for example, attract each other weakly.

Example:

a glass of water is sitting on a table put a paper clip in it. it stays floating on the top.

Water striders can walk on water because of the surface tension of water.
