The given question incomplete. However, the missing part is given below:

1.Which of the following are substrates of the ribonucleotide reductase reaction? 2.Which of the following are products of the ribonucleotide reductase reaction? 3.What is the best description of the reaction? 4. what is the ultimate electron donor? 5.Which of the following can directly donate an electron to ribonucleotide reductase?

Answer:

The correct answer is-

1. NDP (ADP, CDP, GDP, or TDP)

2. dNDP ( dADP. dCDP, dGDP, or dTDP)

3. Oxidation-reduction

4. NADPH

5. Thioredoxin

Explanation:

Ribonucleotide reductase reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme called ribonucleotide reductase which is a key enzyme that synthesizeS the deoxyribonucleotide from ribonucleotide, Deoxyribonucleotide is the precursor of DNA.

This reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction that reduces all ribonucleotides ADP, CDP, GDP, or TDP to dADP. dCDP, dGDP, or dTDP. The ultimate electron donor in this oxidative-reductive reaction is NADPH however thioredoxin directly transfers an electron to ribonucleotide.

Make a list of the potential benefits and harms that might arise from knowing your complete genome sequence.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.

Explanation:

a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.

b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance,  even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

How will the enzymes in these bacteria most likely change if the temperature is lowered to 45
larisa [96]
The enzyme will likely be less affective or more affective, however, it depends on what the perfect temps tire is. since this sounds like it is lowering its temp from the “ideal range”, the enzyme will be less effective!
