Answer:

catalyze chemical reactions

Explanation:

An enzyme is a proteinous substance that acts as biological catalysts and increases the rate of biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are specific in nature which is as a result of the structure/shape of its building block (amino acid).

Enzymes speedens the rate of a chemical reaction in living systems, which would normally not occur or occur at a much slower rate, without the presence of an enzyme. Enzymes acts on the reactants called Substrates by binding to them to form products but they are not used up in the reaction. Hence, enzymes are not reactants.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Epithelium

Explanation:

Epithelium are tissue massage found mostly in the skin and serve as protective covering for the internal and external parts of the body.

A major characteristic of the epithelium is that its layers do not contain any blood vessels such as the artery or vein. The surface of the cells is also usually open to the internal cavity of the organ.

In Holstein cattle the allele for black hair color (B) is dominant over the allele for red hair color (b), and the allele for po
torisob [31]

Answer:

A dominant trait can be described as the one which masks the effect of a recessive trait. The alleles for a recessive trait gets suppressed by the dominant one.

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which depicts the outcomes of a cross. For single traits, the cross is monohybrid. For studying two traits at a time, a dihybrid cross can be made.

The punnet square for the following Holstein cattle can be shown as:

           BP           Bp          bP             bp

BP     BBPP     BBPp     BbPP         BbPp

Bp     BBPp     BBpp     BbPp          Bbpp

bP      BbPP     BbPp     bbPP          bbPp

bp      BbPp      Bbpp     bbPp          bbpp

The results show the phenotypic ratio to be 9 black/polled : 3 black/horned : 3 red/polled : 1 red/horned

If there was a fungicide that killed all fungi, make a prediction on how that would affect the ecosystem and eventually us human
marishachu [46]
Fungi is what decomposes things and puts nitrogen back into the ground. without the fungi plants would soon begin to run out of the nutrients they need. lack in vegetation would soon form. animals would then start to die of or migrate to different locations. so eventually you would begin to see less food and more wildlife in town because of the food shortage.

Which of the following claims about the TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 mammalian genes is most likely to be accurate?
Illusion [34]

The TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 genes are located next to each other on a single chromosome and are organized into an operon is most likely to be accurate.

The option a is correct.

Explanation:

The genes for the Tyrosinase, TRP2 and TRP1 are located on the same chromosome and are operons. These are operons because they are controlled by same transcription factors on mRNA.

Tyrosinase enzyme is important for the synthesis of melanin, eye pigments and hair colour. The synthesis of all these is completed in three distinct reactions  catalysed by TRP1, TRP2 and Tyr genes. These work as operon and the protein product is almost 40% similar of the three genes.

The amount of melanin production depends on tyrosinase enzyme activity of all the three genes.

The genetic regulation is done by operons.
