Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The two blue budgies are most likely to be yyBb each

Explanation:

there are 3 different scenarios possible for crossing blue budgies:

1) yyBB crossed with yyBB

this is not possible because it does not allow for the genotype yybb (white budgies)

2) yyBB crossed with yyBb

again, this cross will not yield the genotype yybb required for white budgies as given in the problem statement

3) yyBb crossed with yyBb

which leaves us with this option being most likely the genotype of the parent budgies who will have white budgies as offspring

Why does the enzyme pepsin (present in the stomach) denature in the intestine?
Art [367]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The enzyme pepsin that is present in the stomach denature in the intestine due to the alkaline environment of the intestine. This is because pepsin has an optimum pH that is very low which is ideal for the acidic conditions of the stomach.
