Why are both mitosis and meiosis important in passing on information from one generation to the next?

Mitosis makes copies of the host, so it is a good option to increase the population because it is a fast process. Meiosis is important to create genetic diversity, because it makes four genetically different haploid cells, instead of two genetically identical diploid cells, as mitosis does.

Ecocentrists are distinguished by their rejection of the anthropocentric idea that _________.only humans have intrinsic value.th
Luba_88 [7]
<span>Antrophocentric ideas and beliefs involve believing that only human beings and human beings alone are of the utmost importance above all else, that the human self is of the total concern. It is a very "self" oriented set of ideas. Eccocentrists are particularly and primarily focused on the environment, preservation, and "green" movements.</span>

An enzyme contains a catalytic histidine residue in its active site that must release an R group proton to solution in order to
hjlf

Options missing:

a) The pH of the environment should be relatively high.

b) The pH of the environment should be relatively low.

c) The pH of the environment would not matter.

d) The environment should be set to the biochemical standard state.

Answer:

a) The pH of the environment should be relatively high.

Explanation:

For optimal function an enzyme needs a certain environment or condition. As temperature increases, the rate of enzyme activity also increases. As temperature increases toward its optimum point of 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 F), hydrogen bonds relax and make it easier for the hydrogen peroxide molecules to bind to the catalase.

The part of the enzyme where this reaction takes place is called the active site. A temperature that is higher or lower than this optimum point changes the shape of the active site and stops the enzyme from working. This process is called denaturation.

Enzyme pH levels also change the shape of the active site and affect the rate of enzyme activity. Each enzyme has its own optimal range of pH in which it works most effectively. In humans, catalase works only between pH 7 and pH 11. If the pH level is lower than 7 or higher than 11, the enzyme becomes denaturated and loses its structure. The liver sustains a neutral pH of about 7, which creates the best environment for catalase and other enzymes.

General acid catalysis would require histidine to be protonated at pH values (pH 8.0) optimal for enzymatic activity which is relatively high.

Correct answer looks like to me would be A. Because, if a sunflower has 34 chromosomes, when you split it up into x and y chromosomes, there will be 17 x chromosomes and 17 y chromosomes. Hope this helps!
