QveST [7]3 years ago

Answer:

it is they lock and key theory

Explanation:

The specific action of an enzyme with a single substrate can be explained using a Lock and Key analogy first postulated in 1894 by Emil Fischer. In this analogy, the lock is the enzyme and the key is the substrate. Only the correctly sized key (substrate) fits into the key hole (active site) of the lock (enzyme).

attashe74 [19]
<span>The vibrations are then sent to three tiny bones in the middle ear: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These bones then amplify the sound vibrations and send them to the cochlea, a snail-shaped structure in the inner ear. The vibrations then cause the fluid inside the cochlea to ripple along the basilar membrane. This ripple stimulates the hair cells that sit on top of the basilar membrane.</span>

You are a geneticist studying prader-willi syndrome. which chromosome do you focus on? you are a geneticist studying prader-will
shepuryov [24]
 The Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is due to the lack of expression of paternal genes of the 15q11-q13 region. It usually occurs sporadically, although some family cases have been described (<1%). Approximately 70% of cases are produced by deletions of paternal origin in the 15q11-q13 region. 28% of cases are due to maternal uniparental disomy and less than 2% are caused by imprinting alterations. A geneticist studying prader-willi syndrome should focus on chromosome 15, its structure or changes in the number, these anomalies are also related to other syndromes such as: Bloom Syndrome, Breast cancer, Isovaleric acidity among others.
