Answer:
Option A, a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract
Explanation:
The complete question is
If you were working for a pharmaceutical company as part of a drug discovery team, which of these enzyme inhibitors would you suggest as a productive avenue for drug development?
a) a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract
b) a drug to treat diabetes that irreversibly inhibits an enzyme in the metabolic pathway to synthesize glucose
c) a compound that acts as a competitive inhibitor for a digestive enzyme produced only in the presence of certain foods
d) a compound that inhibits enzymes by significantly changing the ph throughout the body
Solution
Productive avenue of a drug simply means producing an drug that not only treats the main disease or disorder but also functions to inhibit the causative agent activity. In case of option A, both the objectives of producing drug are met and hence it is the right choice.
High blood pressure usually affects the blood vessels by narrowing them and in severe cases may rupture them. If a drug as stated in option A is produced, it will not only rectify the effects of high blood pressure but will also prevent the blood vessels from narrowing by inhibiting the activity of enzymes responsible for producing chemical that leads to blood vessel contraction.
Hence, option A is correct
<span>Chicks hatching from eggs is an innate behavior. Innate
behavioral adaptations are the result of millions of years of evolution. This
type of behavior is already "hard-wired" in the nervous system of
organisms and is usually inflexible. This is where a certain given stimulus triggers
the exact same response over particular organisms through time. The same adaptation
goes for other species that are naturally inclined to walk hours after their
birth, like giraffes and elephants do. It is in a way nature's natural
adaptation for species to survive through the course of time.</span>
Telomerase is involved in adding DNA to the end of the lagging strand.
At the ends of linear chromosomes (telomeres), telomerase uses its built-in RNA template to extend the parent DNA template near the end of the lagging strand, providing room for an RNA primer so that lagging strand synthesis can be completed to the end of the chromosome
