Answer:

Approximately 338

Explanation:

Since each generation of the insect is approximately 1.5 times that of the previous generation. Therefore,

Population of insect in the first generation = 100

Population of insect in the second generation = 1.5 × 100

                                                                    = 150

Population of insect in the third generation = 1.5 × 150

                                                                     = 225

Population of insect in the fourth generation = 1.5 × 225

                                                                     = 337.5

The population of insect in the fourth generation is approximately 338.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process. Catalysts typically speed up a reaction by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions

Suppose that a glutamine residue in the active site of an enzyme was mutated to alanine. As expected, the alanine mutant was ina
likoan [24]

Answer:

A to N

Explanation:

Glutamine is an amino acid with a polar, uncharged side chain. The mutation to alanine, an amino acid with a non-polar side chain, completely affects the enzymatic activity. This makes sense considering the difference in the nature of both amino acids.

To restore the wild-type level of activity the alanine would have to mutate to another polar uncharged amino acid. Among the given options, only Asparagine (N) has a similar chemistry to Glutamine.
