Answer:

The correct answer is a. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparations

Explanation:

Potassium hydroxide preparation is a simple test which is carried to identify the fungal infection invaded in skin, nails, vagina, etc. KOH degrade the keratin or mucous present on sample and clears the background which makes fungal cell more visible under the microscope.

In this method sample from infected area is collected and placed in the center of the slide then a drop of KOH is added on it. After this coverslip is put on the sample and the slide is heated gently to increase the reaction rate of KOH. Then the slide containing fungus is examined under the slide. KOH test is used for both yeast and molds. So the right answer is a.

Lactase is the enzyme needed to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk. Most mammals produce lactase when they are young but st
Oxana [17]

<u>Option A</u>) A nucleotide substitution in the coding region of the lactase gene that interferes with the interaction between lactase and lactose.

<h3>What mutation causes lactase persistance?</h3>

A mutation in a single nucleotide, in which thymine replaces cytosine, in the region that controls the expression of the lactase gene is what causes the lactase persistence trait.

This mutation first occurred in Hungry, and then it spread out to other regions of Europe, Africa, and Asia.

This mutation allowed humans to digest milk during adulthood.

According to this information, we can assume that the correct option is A). A nucleotide substitution in the coding region of the lactase gene that interferes with the interaction between lactase and lactose.
