Answer:
X is negative heterotropic modulator
Explanation:
In allosteric regulations, modulators are molecules that causes a change in the conformation of an enzyme, hence, resulting a change in enzyme activity. It can lead to a decrease or an increase of the enzyme. When a molecule decreases the enzyme activity it called a negative modulator, when it increases or activates the enzyme activity, it is called a positive modulator.
A positive or negative modulator can either be homotrophic (substrate acts as modulator) or heterotropic (another ligand acts as modulator).
In the example above, X is negative heterotropic modulator, because the modulator is different from the substrate and it also decreases the enzyme activity.
Insect populations can develop resistance to insecticides over time. The evolution of resistance is associated with an increase in the frequency of adaptive genes in the population.
- In the case above described it is expected that a few mosquitoes in the population were resistant to DDT before it was ever used (Option a is correct).
- Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a pesticide used in agriculture.
- After exposure to DDT, those individuals in the mosquito population that didn't carry gene variants (i.e., alleles) associated with the resistance to this pesticide died.
- Subsequently, insects having adaptive alleles associated with DDT resistance survived and reproduced, thereby increasing the frequency of adaptive genes/alleles in the population.
