Answer:

A

Explanation:

For a recessive gene to affect the child they must inherit two recessive alleles because if a dominant allele is inherited than the dominant trait will be the one that is expressed in the child. The only way to get two recessive alleles is to inherit one from both parents so the father must also carry the recessive allele. This means A must be the correct answer.

BIOLOGY HELP!!!!!
Vlad [161]

1. The correct answer is pH.

The activity of the enzymes might be affected by environmental changes such as change in pH. Each enzyme has the point when it is the most active and this value is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values can lead to loss of enzyme activity and stability.

Phosphofructokinase is sensitive to acidity, meaning that it is inhibited by low pH levels.

2. The correct answer is temperature.

Enzyme is sensitive to the environmental conditions such as temperature changes.

Temperature is a factor that usually increases the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by increasing the activity of enzymes. But, after reaching the optimum temperature, reaction rate abruptly declines. This happens because enzymes are deactivated or denatured at a certain temperature (above 40° C).
