.What are the genotypes of the parents in the monohybrid cross below if the following offspring genotypes are predicted?
2 answers:
As you can see in the diagram presented below, the correct genotypes of the parents are TT and Tt.
Each parent give its children only one chromosome of the chromosome pair, therefore only one allele of the gene.
In our case, TT and Tt is the correct answer because one of the parents has to have the t allele to give to the Tt offspring.
But if both of the parents were Tt, one of the offspring would have tt genotype, and if the parents were TT and tt, all of the offspring would be Tt. Therefore, the TT x Tt combination is the only possible answer.

First question:
In the presence of an enzyme, the course of the reaction is shown by the red curve. The necessary energy to make a reaction occur is less when there is an enzyme to help the reaction happen. Enzymes work as catalysts that act over substrates converting them into different molecules in a much accelerated way then it would happen without the enzyme's help, if it would happen at all.
Second question:
The activation energy is represented by line B. The activation energy is the energy needed to be available for a reaction to happen. If we compare it with line A, which represents the activation energy necessary for a reaction without an enzyme, we can see how much less energy is necessary to dispend when an enzyme is part of the reaction. Line C represents the energy resultant from the reaction.
