Answer:
The sentences can be completed as follows:
The enzyme lactase breaks down the sugar lactose.
If the body doesn’t produce much of this enzyme, people have what’s called lactose intolerance.
During the chemical reaction the enzyme doesn’t get used up, but gets reused.
Enzymes are substances that speed up chemical reactions which are also known as catalysts.
Explanation:
Enzymes can be described as molecules which act as biological catalysts i.e they are involved in speeding up a chemical reaction. The enzymes do not get used up in a chemical reaction and hence, they can be reused.
Lactase is an enzyme which helps in breaking down the sugar lactose which is commonly found in the milk. If enough lactase is not produced by a person's body, then he/she becomes unable to digest the sugar lactose. Such a condition is known as lactose intolerance.
Answer: A) lipid bilayers
Explanation: The lipid bilayer is made up of fatty acids and amphiphilic phospholipids (hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic tail).
The lipid bilayer controls molecules, ions that goes in and out of the cell.
Old-world monkeys had specifically shaped molars, which are called bilophodont molars. Molars are big teeth in the back of the mouth that are used for grinding food and crushing it into small pieces that are easier to digest. They are very diverse in regards to size and shape in different groups of mammals.
The old-world monkeys had molars with two transverse ridges, so the name bilophodont broken down is "bi" which means "two", and "loph" which means "ridge", while "dont" of course means "tooth". So the name "bilophodont" refers to a tooth that has two ridges.
D. Darwin's theory of natural selection shows that organisms evolve based on which one's survive the best and thrive.
Answer:
25% of the heterozygous cross are short, and the offspring of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive pea plant will always display the dominant trait (phenotype), because they are heterozygous.
Explanation:
In this explanation, I'm assuming that the allele "T" for tall plants is dominant to the allele "t" for short plants, like in Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiment.
A homozygous tall pea plant will have the genotype "TT" and a homozygous short plant will have the genotype "tt" because homozygous means that both alleles are identical. Since "T" is dominant over "t", any plant with at least one "T" allele will be tall (the dominant trait), regardless of what the other allele is. Let's look at a Punnett square for this cross:
Explanation:
