Answer:

C. Genes in DNA code for the production of proteins, which cause traits to be expressed.

Explanation:

A. Enzymes break down DNA, releasing amino acids that join to form proteins and express various traits. - this is false. DNA is not made up of amino acids, it is made up of nucleotides.

B. DNA is mutated by a chemical passed from parents to offspring to form proteins that express traits. - this is false. DNA itself is passed from parents to offspring. The DNA is transcribed into mRNA which is translated into proteins that express traits.

C. Genes in DNA code for the production of proteins, which cause traits to be expressed. - this is true. Genes are sections of DNA that encode for specific proteins. The structure and activity of these proteins determines all the functions in the cell and the body, and therefore specify all our traits.

D. Proteins bind to DNA, which activates them and forces them to express certain traits. - this is false. While proteins bind to DNA, this is not what causes them to become active and carry out their function to specify traits.

A woman without hemophilia marries a man with hemophilia they have a daughter with hemophilia what is the genotype of the mother
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Mother- XXH

Father- XHY

Explanation:

The mother is a carrier for hemophilia and since the disease is sex linked and found on the X chromosome, only one of the alleles has that H allele attached to it. The father is male so he only has one X chromosome, which is why he is effected by the disease and not just a carrier like the mother.

Evolution is:
fiasKO [112]
A, b, and c are all correct.

take for example finches off of the galapagos islands. they vary from island to island, yet are still the same bird. on one island they have bigger, more durable and stronger beaks, because that island has many nuts to crack open and eat. on another island, they have thin ling beaks, ideal for pecking at insects in the grass on tree bark. evolution is literally survival of the ifttest, where those equipped best will live and those without means to fight for life will die off, leaving those most capable of reproduction and passing down genes.

what happens to the enzyme after an enzymatic reaction is complete? A) it loses a carbon atom B) it gains a water molecule C) it
suter [353]

The Option D is correct.

  • After enzymatic reaction, nothing happens with enzyme and it remain unchanged.

During an enzyme catalyzed reaction the enzyme bonds with a specific substrate at the active site. This is called an enzyme-substrate complex. The substrate is converted into a specific product, but the enzyme remains unchanged. Enzymes accelerate reactions by factors of at least a million.
