Answer:

The correct answer is a cofactor for enzyme activity.

Explanation:

Carboxypeptidase is a metallo-enzyme in which zinc is present at active site. It has been accounted for by Coleman and Vallee that the protein can be deactivated by the removal of zinc and that reactive again by the expansion of zinc, cobaltous, ferrous, nickel. which suggests that zinc is acting as the cofactor for this metalloenzyme. Zinc is a cofactor for up to 300 chemicals in the body. Proteins that utilization zinc as a cofactor is known as metalloenzymes.

Thus, the correct answer is a cofactor for enzyme activity.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1 out of 4

or

25%

Explanation:

First we draw a Punnett Square for this:

          R      r

   R    RR    Rr

   r     Rr     rr

So here we have the following genotypes possible for this cross:

RR = homozygous dominant

Rr = heterozygous dominant

rr = homozygous recessive

As you can see out of the four (4) possible outcomes, one (1) of them is rr. So the probability is 1 out of 4 chances or 25%.
