The mechanism that can be used to investigate whether the enzyme catalase has a nonallosteric or the allosteric mechanism of action and whether pollutants that inhibit the catalase enzyme act as noncompetitive or competitive inhibitors. Introduction: An allosteric enzyme has a quaternary structure of the protein. The quaternary structure of the protein has many subunits that are attached to one another with the help of disulfide and other noncovalent forces of attraction. Since there are multiple subunits of proteins, each unit has many active sites. The active sites of the proteins are those at, which the substrates binding takes place. In a nonallosteric protein or enzyme, there is only one active site that binds to the substrate.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait?

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction.
