Chage identity of a substance
Answer:
c. Pyridostigmine binds to the acetylcholinesterase active site and prevents sarin from binding to and modifying the enzyme active site.
Explanation:
Sarin is a toxic compound which inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme. This enzyme degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after the required muscle cell stimulation. In absence of its activity, acetylcholine is not degraded and the muscle cells are stimulated uncontrollably. The muscles are not able to relax which ultimately proves fatal for the victim.
Pyridostigmine is also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like Sarin. However its period of inhibition is short compared to organophosphorus inhibitors like sarin. It competes with sarin and replaces it in the active site of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme is still inhibited but for a shorter time as compared to inhibition by Sarin. Hence after sometime, it becomes functional again and resumes its normal activity. Acetycholine starts getting degraded relaxing the muscles.
It gets transferred through out animals

The correct answer is option B, that is, Genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover.
Genetic drift in combination with mutation, natural selection, and migration is one of the most fundamental mechanisms of evolution. Genetic drift refers to a change in the relative frequency of distinct genotypes in a small populace, owing to the chance vanishing of specific genes as individuals do not reproduce or die.
2 because if you were to multiply the bases versus the acidity it would come out to 2
