The answer should be C, progesterone.
Progesterone is the hormone which can help maintain the lining of uterus and to further thicken it so that the uterus is prepared for implantation and the development of a baby. The level of progesterone is significantly rose after ovulation.
On the other hand, LH, luteinising hormone, is produced by oestrogen, another female hormone which will drop after ovulation. LH helps stimulate ovulation and prevent the development of other follicles, the origin of eggs, to form yellow body instead. Which yellow body is the one which stimulates the production of progesterone.
Last but not least, I believe D should be testosterone, and it is a male hormone so it will not be found in female normally.
Therefore, your answer should be C, progesterone.
Answer:
Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen (n) to glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen (n-1). Glycogen branches are catabolized by the sequential removal of glucose monomers via phosphorolysis, by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase.
Answer:
Optimum pH= 6
Optimum pH for the given enzyme would be the average of pKa values of two amino acids (2.9 + 9.1 /2= 6)
Explanation:
The pKa represents the association constant of amino acids. It is calculated by taking the negative log value of the ratio of a dissociated acid and the conjugated base which in turn regulates the isoelectric point (pI) of the protein.
The amino acids present in the active site of the enzyme regulate the interaction of enzyme and substrate. The given enzyme contains two ionizable amino acids with pKa values of 2.9 and 9.1 respectively. Therefore, the optimum pH of the given enzyme would be 2.9 + 9.1 / 2 = 12/2 = 6.
At pH 6, both the ionizable amino acids would serve as a good buffer with their active proton donor and proton acceptor species.
Answer:
The mutation will become more common in offspring and increase the genetic variability in the gene pool.
Explanation:
If the mutation is beneficial to the organism and this organism breeds its offspring may carry this gene, if it´s really beneficial and for example makes an organism to have more access to females the mutation may spread faster.
The only way for a mutation to spread to other organisms is reproduction (eukaryotes)
A mutation may also spread to other organisms in prokaryotes in which bacteria may take plasmids (DNA fragments) from the environment.
