Answer: A. A fertilized egg has a mixture of alleles from the two parents.

Sexual reproduction is a method of production of new organism by the fusion of gametes formed by two distinct parents. A single sperm fuses with the egg. The genes of the two parents combines in this process. During the gamete formation a pair of allele gets segregated from each parent and a single copy of allele is obtained from each parent. Therefore, a fertilized egg contains a mixture of alleles obtained from both parents this is the result of genetic variations in a species. The offspring is not exactly identical to either of the parents but exhibit genetic variations.

Choose the CORRECT statement about enzymes below.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Enzymes function best at specific pH and temperatures.

Explanation:

An enzyme can be defined as a biological catalyst that typically lowers the activation energy of a biological reaction. When the activation energy of a reaction is low, the rate of the reaction would be faster. Therefore, an enzyme speeds or catalyzes the rate of a reaction by lowering its activation energy.

Also, if the conditions are not optimal for an enzyme, it limits the ability of an enzyme to bind or be joined with its substrates.

Hence, the correct statement about enzymes is that enzymes function best at specific pH and temperatures. An increase in temperature increases or speeds up the rate of a reaction while low temperature limits or reduces the rate of a reaction. The optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body is around 37 degrees celsius.
