Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes Module

1. The segregation of alleles on one trait did not have any effect on the segregation of alleles on a different trait. This is based on ____________a) Mendel’s law of Heredityb) Mendel’s law of Dominancec) Mendel’s law of Independent Assortmentd) Mendel’s law of Segregation Answer: cExplanation: There are three Mendel’s laws n Heredity. 1. The Mendel’s law of Dominance states that when a dominant individual is crossed with a recessive individual, the F1 generation offspring will exhibit the dominant trait. 2. According to Mendel’s law of Segregation, a pair of allele governing a single trait segregates from each other during

Enzymes as Biological Catalysts Module

1. Why are enzymes required?a) Enzymes help to yield more productb) Enzymes increase the activation energy of the reactionc) Enzymes decrease the activation energy of the reactiond) Enzymes maintain the equilibrium in the reaction Answer: cExplanation: Chemical reactions need certain covalent bond breakage within the reactants. For this, the reactants must contain sufficient kinetic energy called the activation energy. Enzymes act as catalysts that speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy required for breaking the covalent bonds. 2. Competitive enzyme inhibitors are ________a) Reversible inhibitorsb) Irreversible inhibitorsc) Permanent inhibitorsd) None of the mentioned Answer: aExplanation: Irreversible inhibitors are
