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.

Explain the purposes of gene expression studies. Describe the use of DNA microarray assays and explain how they facilitate such
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Both gene expression and DNA micro array study about the expression of gene during different stages of development.

Explanation:

The main purpose of gene expression studies is to determine the level of mRNA expressed at different stages of transcription in a tissue or at different stages of cellular development. If a gene is not “ON” during synthesis of RNA and protein, then the desired proteins are not produced. Such studies allow us to turn on such genes.  

DNA microarray  assays easily identify and determine the network of gene expression across the entire genome. The common application of DNA microarray include – mutation analysis and detection, assessment of gene cop, immunoassays etc.

The forelimbs of bats and humans have a very similar bone structure even though they appear very different on the outside
Vaselesa [24]

The forelimbs of all mammals are homologous traits, meaning that they originate from a common ancestral trait.

The correct answer is therefore C. Homologies (homologous traits), from the same common ancestor.

(To clarify, we know it is from a common ancestor because both bats and humans are mammals)
