Genetic engineering can be used to disrupt specific genes in the genome of an organism. Predict how the browning of apple slices
adell [148]

Answer: Fruit will not brown. Browning requires a functional enzyme.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering refers to the manipulation of an organism's genes. Scientists use a variety of molecular tools and techniques to cut up and join genetic material from different species and to introduce this new hybrid DNA into another organisms. <u>The overall goal is to add or remove an organism's genetic makeup for the better, or to transfer DNA code from one species into the other, in order to form new combinations or heritable genetic material.</u>

Enzymatic browning is a reaction that occurs in fruits which results in negative effects on characteristics such as taste, color, and nutritional value. This reaction is a caused by phenolic compounds' oxidation by an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, which causes the generation of dark pigments. This is often seen in apples which are rich in this enzymes and susceptible to this enzymatic browning.

If through genetic engineering, the gene encoding the enzyme responsible for the apple browing is removed, then this enzyme cannot be produced by the apple. Consequently, apples will not brown<u>,</u> because there will not be a polyphenol oxidase that oxidates the phenolic compounds.

When corn plants are too tall, they lodge (topple over) prior to harvest. This is bad since the grain is often lost when it cann
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The phenotypic variance= 2113

The eenvironmenal variance= 644

The genetic variance= 1469

The broad-sense heritability = 0.695

Explanation:

To determine the phenotypic variance, we need to know the calculate the environmental variance and the genetic variance first;

because Phenotypic variance = V(p) such that;

V(p) = V(e) + V(g)                  

where V(e)  =  environmental variance and V(g)   =  genetic variance

Therefore, Environmental variance can be defined as a portion of phenotypic variance due to differences in the environments to which the individuals in a population have been exposed. The total amount of variance observed is dependent on the genetic component, determined by the variation that is inherited.

This implies that V(e)= initial variance which was there in the parents ( i.e  Variance of inbred line 1 = 311  and Variance of inbred line 2 = 333 )

V(e) = (311 + 333) = 644

Genetic Variance simply refer to the variance that occurs or preferrably , that is observed after inbreeding (i.e Variance of F1 = 316  and Variance of F2 = 1153)

V(g)  = (316 + 1153) = 1469

Now, back to phenotypic variance = V(e) + V(g)

substituting the parameters we have;  1469 + 644 = 2113

Broad-sense heritability can be calculated as the ratio of total genetic variance to total phenotypic variance.

= V(g)/ V(p)

= 1469/ 2113

= 0.695

Explain the process of an enzyme binding to the active sit of substrate molecule
Luba_88 [7]
In biology, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction. The active site consists of residues that form temporary bonds with the substrate (binding site) and residues that catalyse a reaction of that substrate (catalytic site).
