Examples of chemical mutagens would be nicotine and other compounds in cigarette smoke that cause mutations involved in lung cancer.
Answer :B. By changing the shape of the enzyme's active site.
check the attachment
Explanation: This is a type of inhibition , in which a molecule binds to another part of the enzyme instead of the active site.
On binding, it disrupts the normal hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions holding the enzyme molecule in its three dimensional shape, therefore distorting the conformation and ACTIVE SITE of the enzyme (changed it shape).
Since the active site is the precise location enzyme must bind with substrates for enzymatic reactions,this makes the enzyme not fit for binding with the substrate, therefore the efficiency is reduced. No substrate-enzyme complex, and hence no substrate-product complex for the release of products, this brings down the turnover rate and eventually
<u>the rate of reaction of the enzyme</u>
Thus, the enzyme function is totally blocked, even in high concentration of the substrate,
Answer:
The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.
Explanation:
Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?
This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.
<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>
A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.
<u>Denaturation</u> is the <u>destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures</u>. The <u>primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds</u> and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.
B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.
There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones <u>(FSH, LH)</u>, antibodies <u>(IgA, IgM),</u> enzymes <u>(lipase, amylase),</u> for storage/transport <u>(hemoglobin, ferritin)</u>, and locomotion <u>(actin, troponin).</u>
D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.
Just like <u>hemoglobin</u>, it's <u>quaternary structure</u> can carry <u>4 molecules of iron</u> in one go. <u>Enzymes</u> are shaped accordingly to fit a<u> specific substrate</u> <em>(lock-and-key model)</em>
Answer: 100%
Explanation:
if the mutation presents autosomal dominant inheritance, each affected individual will show 100% alteration in the protein, thus , being dominant, it is considered that the disease pattern will predominate even if it has genes that do not express it since these will be recessive and canceled by the dominant ones.
