Suppose that there are individuals in the population that have a mutation in an enzyme gene. The residue at position 50, which is normally aspartate, is substituted with alanine (D50A). The D50A mutation occurs at an area within the active site that is important for substrate binding, but not for enzyme catalysis.

(a) Predict how this would affect the KM, Vmax, and kcat for the enzyme. Insert your answer
(b) Compared to what you learned about inhibitors is this case, what type of inhibition would this mutation resemble?

Which of these is most likely to happen if parallax measurements of star distances are taken after a gap of six months? the results would be accurate the results would be inconsistent the results would not be valid the results would not be repeated

Archeologists have discovered three sites showing conclusive evidence for the mastery of fire in tanzania, from a period slightly after the time that homo habilis was present in africa. these sites clearly were founded by homo erectus, the descendent species of homo habilis that migrated north, out of africa and into asia. homo erectus was known to have mastered fire, from ample evidence at sites in asia. there is no reason to attribute mastery of fire to homo ergaster, the descendent species of homo habilis that remained in africa. which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? (a) before their migration, homo erectus occupied african territory as far south as tanzania.(b) the strain of migration provided the selective pressure motivating homo erectus‘ mastery of fire.(c) homo ergaster would not have derived as much benefit from the mastery of fire as did homo erectus.(d) homo ergaster inherited all cultural knowledge from homo habilis, a species that did not have mastery of fire.(e) homo ergaster did not occupy regions as far south as tanzania until well after the time of these three sites.

What evidence could be used to convince policy makers to change a shipping lane from going through a whale breeding ground? information on the number of all whale species currently alive information on the number of all whales hit by boats in the given area information on the number of whale deaths in the world's oceans information on the number of whale offspring born every year. (a) scientists could collect and combine data on fish populations all around the world to show that their populations are declining. (b) scientists collect and combine data on fish populations all around the world to show that their populations are increasing. (c) scientists work together and use past data to show that fish populations are becoming locally extinct in some areas. (d) scientists work together and use past data to show that some fish populations are adapting to environmental changes.
