The right answer is the activation energy.
The catalyst increases the reaction rate by introducing new reaction paths (mechanism), and lowering its activation energy, or activation Gibbs free energy. By doing this it can increase the speed, or lower the temperature of the reaction. It is important to note that the catalyst does not alter the total Gibbs free energy of the reaction which is a system state function and therefore has no effect on the equilibrium constant.
Options for the question are not given. They are as follows :
A. Mate them and see what color the offspring are—that will be the dominant color
B. Mate them and see what color the offspring are—the other will be the dominant color
C. Mate them, and then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is
D. Mate them together, and then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is—the other color will be the dominant color
Answer:
A. Mate them and see what color the offspring are—that will be the dominant color
Explanation:
Out of the two colors, one will be recessive and one will be dominant. Recessive color will be homozygous since it is only expressed in homozygous condition. It is also given that in this cross the dominant color is also in homozygous condition.
When the guinea pigs mate, the resulting progeny will obtain one dominant allele from the dominant color parent and one recessive allele from the recessive color parent. The progeny will be heterozygous and show the dominant phenotype since the dominant allele will mask the recessive allele. Thus, the color which is visible in their offspring will be the dominant color.
Fungal hyphae extend continuously at their extreme tips, where enzymes are released into the environment and where new wall materials are synthesised. ... So, in effect, a fungal hypha is a continuously moving mass of protoplasm in a continuously extending tube.
