A plant that has seed very rich in an oil that can be directly used as a biofuel to power vehicles has been discovered. the plant is able to grow on a marginal farm land and thus fuel oil production would not compete with food production. unfortunately the plant only […]

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 […]
