The KM of a Michaelis-Menten enzyme for a substrate is 1.0 x 10-4 M. At a substrate concentration of 0.2 M, νo = 43 μM x min-1 for a certain enzyme concentration. However, with a substrate concentration of 0.02 M, νo has the same value. (A) Using numerical calculations show […]

The ability to taste “Wine” is controlled by a dominant allele W, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele w, are unable to taste Wine. In a recent genetics class of 125 students, 88 were able to taste Wine, but 37 could not. Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this population. What […]

Question 1 Viruses have evolved two fundamental growth strategies: an r-replication strategy and the K-replication strategy to enable them to avoid or coexist with the host immune response. Describe these strategies. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy for a virus? Give an example of a specific virus […]

Q1. Comparisons of amino acid sequences can shed light on evolutionary divergence of related species. Would you expect all the proteins of given set of living species to demonstrate the same degree of divergence? Why or why not? Q2. A student, who has not learned properly how to prepare solutions, […]
