Quantitative characters vary in a population along a continuum. how do such characters differ from the characters investigated by mendel in his experiments on peas?
a. environment and genes affect quantitative characters, whereas only genes determined the pea characters studied by mendel.
b. the nature of inheritance of quantitative characters is poorly understood, and mendel understood the nature of inheritance for the characters he studied in his peas.
c. quantitative characters are due to polygenic inheritance, the additive effects of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character.
d. a single gene affected all but one of the pea characters studied by mendel.

Lactase is essential for digesting lactose in milk. this enzyme is specific for this sugar. why? molecules and active sites vary in size; only properly sized molecules can fit. there is a precise compatibility between the active site and the lactose molecule. specificity refers to the action of the enzyme, such as hydrolysis, and relatively few molecules can be hydrolyzed. reaction-specific enzymes assume a fit by folding around the most numerous substrate molecules.
