The enzyme the organism will miss most is ALPHA AMYLASE.
This is because, alpha amylase is the enzyme that is responsible for hydrolyzing alpha bond of starch in order to break it down to maltose. Oligo 1,6 glucosidase on the other hand is only able to hydrolyses alpha 1,6 glucosidic bond, which is just a step in the conversion of a polysacharride to smaller sugars.

Answer:

The correct answer would be alpha amylase.

Alpha enzyme is an enzyme that catalyzes the break down of alpha linkage present in polysaccharides such as starch, glycogen et cetera.

The help in breaking down complex polysaccharides into simpler units which can be easily absorbed by the body.

For example, alpha amylase is present in the form of salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase in humans. They breakdown the starch into smaller units such as maltose and dextrin.

In contrast, oligo-1,6-glucosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of alpha 1-6 linkage in some oligsaccharides.

Thus, the organism would miss alpha amylase more as compared to  oligo-1,6-glucosidase.

4. What information would allow you to distinguish between homologous vs. analogous (AKA homoplastic) traits, or to decide wheth
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Homologies - phenotypic and genetic similarities due to shared ancestry

Analogies (homoplastic) - similarities between two species due to convergent evolution instead of descent from a common ancestor with the same trait

In general, organisms that share very similar morphologies or similar DNA sequences are likely to be more closely related than organisms with vastly different structures or sequences. In some cases, however, the morphological divergence between related species can be great and their genetic divergence small (or vice versa).

(plants very different, bc diverged 50 mil years ago)

If internal anatomy, physiology, and reproductive systems are very dissimilar, probably analogous.

The more elements that are similar in two complex structures, the more likely it is that the structures evolved from a common ancestor. If genes in two organisms share many portions of their nucleotide sequences, it is likely that the genes are homologous.:

Why is it more important to check for errors during DNA replication than
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Errors that occur during DNA replication lead to mutations, which represent permanent, heritable changes in genetic material. These errors can pass from parent cell to daughter cells and affect many generations of cells.
