<span>The question says, the corn we eat today is larger and has more kernels than the corn people first grew thousands of years ago. Which process is most likely responsible for the changes that have occurred. The correct option is 'succession'. Succession is the process by which change occur in the composition, structure or architecture of a specie over a period of time.</span>
I filled out a few boxes for you to start you off. I also gave you a direct research sources for some animals that will take you to the necessary information.
This is what I have so far as examples for you. Again, I said I wouldn't do all of your work for you, however, I will help you through your research and graph.
For example, pH can have an effect of the state of ionization of acidic or basic amino acids. Acidic amino acids have carboxyl functional groups in their side chains. Basic amino acids have amine functional groups in their side chains. If the state of ionization of amino acids in a protein is altered then the ionic bonds that help to determine the 3-D shape of the protein can be altered. This can lead to altered protein recognition or an enzyme might become inactive.
Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis.
In geneal enzyme have a pH optimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme.
Mutations are simply a change in genes. So mutations usually result in variation of an organism that can be good or bad. Some mutations can result in physical and mental disorders like Stockholm disease or down syndrome, Where else some mutations can cause immune to diseases that are harmful.
