Problem 2: Silkmoths (4 points, 2 points for each question; please show your work for partial credit) In silkmoths (Bombyx mori)

, red eyes and white-banded wing are encoded by mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits. These two genes are on the same chromosome. A moth homozygous for red eyes and white-banded wings is crossed with a moth homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have normal eyes and normal wings. The F1 are crossed with moths that have red eyes and white-banded wings in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross are:

Answer: 50% ErWw (wild-type traits)  and 50% rrww (red eyes, white-banded wings)

To solve this, we need to analyze step by step all the data they give us.

First, they told you about two homozygous traits that are recessive in this kind of animal, Red eyes and withe-banded wings.

We'll assign the names rr and ww (lower because they are recessive)

You know the dominant traits are wild type and all are in the same chromosome.

EE will be normal eyes, and WW  will be normal wings.

If you cross this F0, rrww x EERR  all the offspring are ErWw.

Crossing F1 with red eyes, with-banded wing you have to draw a Punnte square with ErWw x rrww and the ofsspring posibilities you'll find are 50% ErWw (wild-type traits)  and 50% rrww (red eyes, white-banded wings)

What kind of biomolecule are enzymes typically composed of? What effect do enzymes have on their substrates and the overall reac
ivann1987 [24]

Enzymes are typically composed of amino acids.

Enzymes specifically binds to their substrate, and accelerate the biological or in-vitro reactions.

Four real-life examples of enzymes are: Lipase, Maltase, DNA ploymerase and Alcohol dehydrogenase.

Explanation:

All enzymes are proteins. They are composed of amino acids as monomer units linked by polypeptide bonds.

The substrate is a molecule which has specific enzyme binding sites for the highly specific enzyme called as active sites. With this binding, the  enzyme-substrate complex is formed, undergoes the chemical reaction and new product is formed. Enzymes accelerate the biological reactions by lowering the reaction's activation energy.

Four-real life examples of enzymes are:

Lipase enzyme: catalyses the hydrolysis of fats and triglycerides in the small intestine. Lipase enzyme is secreted by pancreas.

Maltase enzyme: catalyses the breakdown of maltose sugar. It is secreted by salivary glands and our mouths.

DNA Polymerase Enzyme: It catalyses the DNA replication in the cells. It is secreted by the nucleus

Alcohol dehydrogenase: It catalyses many reactions in the body as the reduction of NAD to NADH. It is secreted by the liver.
