To compare: The allosteric regulation and covalent regulation of enzyme activity. Introduction: Enzymes are composed of proteins which are responsible for metabolic and biochemical reaction in the body. These are also known as biological catalysts which increases the rate of a reaction and decreases the activation energy of the reaction. They remain unreactive in the reaction and just catalyze the reaction to form the products. The enzymatic activities can be categorized into two types, covalent regulation and allosteric regulation. Allosteric regulation broadly means that the regulatory molecules bind to a site other than the active site of the enzyme, whereas in covalent regulation it attaches to the active site of the enzyme.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type. From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results: Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8 Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?

Genes at loci f, m, and w are linked, but their order is unknown. The F1 heterozygotes from a cross of FFMMWW x ffmmww are test crossed. The most frequent phenotypes in the test cross progeny will be FMW and fmw regardless of what the gene order turns out to be. What classes of testcross progeny (phenotypes) would be least frequent if locus m is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus f is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus w is in the middle?
