Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The normal body temperature for humans is 37 degrees Celsius. Most of the enzymes of a human's bodywork best at this temperature. If an enzyme was discovered which works best at 39 degrees Celsius, then it means that the enzyme works at elevated temperatures for events which require slightly higher temperatures.

The enzyme will most probably work for overcoming fever or for reducing the temperature of the body after exercise.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The statement that best explains the mechanisms of inheritance of gene "The allele for blue is an X-linked dominant allele because there are no blue male offspring in cross 2."

Explanation:

The mechanism for inheritance of gene is the condition, in which the mutation when happens in one allele and cause the effect in the relevant phenotype. Similar inheritance will also be seen when the mutated allele will produce new type of the protein which will have deletorious effect on the normal function of the cell. In case of the single gene, autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X- linked recessive and mitochondrial are modes of inheritance.

e erythrocyte (red blood cell) count increases after a while when an individual goes from a low to a high altitude because the _
Aloiza [94]

The answer is; concentration of oxygen and/or total atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitudes

This means that at high altitude, due to the low pressure, every breath has a lower oxygen content than at a lower altitude. This, therefore, necessitates the body to increase the erythrocyte numbers in the blood to maximize the uptake of oxygen from the thinner air.
