Which one of the following statements is true of enzyme catalysts?

#SCPH01 Biochemistry

  1. They bind to substrates, but are never covalently attached to substrate or product.

  2. They increase the equilibrium constant for a reaction, thus favoring product formation.

  3. They increase the stability of the product of a desired reaction by allowing ionizations, resonance, and isomerizations not normally available to substrates.

  4. They lower the activation energy for the conversion of substrate to product.

In this problem we will explore some of the many ways that mutations in two different genes can interact to produce different Mendelian ratios. Consider a hypothetical insect species that has red eyes. Imagine mutations in two different unlinked genes that can, in certain combinations, block the formation of red eye pigment yielding mutants with white eyes. In principle, there are two different possible arrangements for two biochemical steps responsible for the formation of red eye pigment. The two genes might act in series such that a mutation in either gene would block the formation of red pigment. Alternatively, the two genes could act in parallel such that mutations in both genes would be required to block the formation of red pigment.
Further complexity arises from the possibility that mutations in either gene that lead to a block in enzymatic activity could be either dominant or recessive. If the crosses is made between a wild type insect with red eyes and a true breeding white eyed strain with mutations in both genes. Such considerations yield the Pathways in series with dominant mutations in both genes, determine the phenotype of the F1 progeny and the expected phenotypic ratio of red to white eyed insects in the F2.
