Specificity is a property of the enzyme and describes how restrictive the enzyme is in its choice of substrate; a completely specific enzyme would have only one substrate. ... Consequently, a single serine protease may act on various substrates although at different rates.

Here is a example

Enzymes showing substrate specificity are specific only to one substrate and one reaction. Example: Enzyme lactase can only hydrolyze the β-1-4 glycosidic bond of lactose to yield galactose and glucose. Similarly, Maltase can only act on the α-1-4 glycosidic linkage of two glucose molecules in maltose..

Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which _____. is not very toxic compared to
attashe74 [19]
Reduces water loss compared to other nitrogenous wastes but requires more metabolic energy to produce

Mammals excretes urea as the primary nitrogenous waste product. On the other hand birds, and reptiles excretes uric acid as the primary nitrogenous product. They are called uricothelics because they can convert ammonia to uric acid. Uric acid is a compound similar to purines. This is produced through a complex metabolic pathway thay cost high energy. However it has advantages such as reducing water loss.

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males. Why does this condition typically affect males more t
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Hemophilia typically affects more males than females because the disorder is </em><em>X-linked </em><em>and </em><em>recessive</em><em>. </em>

<u>Females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males only have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The two X chromosomes in females are capable of carrying alleles while the Y chromosome in males is hypothesized not able to carry alleles. </u>

Consequently, the two X chromosomes in females will both need to carry the recessive allele of hemophilia in order for any female to be affected for hemophilia while the males only need their single X chromosome to carry the recessive allele in order to be affected.

In order words, the presence of a single recessive allele is not enough for a female to be affected while it is more than enough for a male to be affected. Hence, more males are affected b hemophilia disorder than females.
