Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.

Explanation:

Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.

In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.

The answer is A, denature.

As each type of enzymes has its own optimum temperature, like the temperature that they work fastest at, so if the temperature goes too high above the optimum, the 3D structure of the enzyme breaks apart and deforms and they can no longer bind with substrates thus no longer works. In this scenario, we say the enzyme is denatured.

Note that only if the temperature is too high can make the enzyme denature, if the temperature is too low, instead, the enzyme would be inactive, but once the temperature goes back to normal, they work again. Unlike denatured enzymes, which does not work even if the temperature goes back to normal.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

c. to account for two major and distinct prokaryotic groups in addition to eukaryotes.

Explanation:

Microbiologist Carl Woese compared the ribosomal RNA sequence of the small subunit of RNA. Various organisms have structurally different small subunit of the ribosomes. According to Woese the molecular composition of rRNA in closely related organisms should be more similar than in distantly related organisms. He analyzed the 16S rRNA of various organisms and observed that there are two distinct groups of prokaryotes. He divided the prokaryotes among two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. He placed all the eukaryotes in the domain Eukarya.
