With all that you know about SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19, discuss a possible evolutionary scenario for SARS-CoV-2 , over the next 6 months, 1 year and 5 years. How, if at all, will the virulence/trasmissability of SARS-CoV-2 change and why? A vaccine was developed for Polio, but, so far, not for HIV. Will science develop an effective vaccine against SARS-CoV-2? Why or why not?

Question 11 pts
When chymotrypsin is assayed with the surrogate substrate p-nitrophenylacetate, a rapid burst of colored product formation (p-nitrophenolate) is observed, corresponding to a relatively steep slope on the A410 vs. time (seconds) plot, followed by a slower-but-steady release of p-nitrophenolate, corresponding to a relatively less-steep slope on the A410vs. time (seconds) plot. These results were interpreted as:
a) | the rapid release of the first product (p-nitrophenolate), followed by the slower reaction of acetate ion (the other product) with a catalytic lysine residue on the enzyme |
b) | the unusual properties of aromatic esters and thus not applicable to the normal chymotrypsin mechanism, which involves the hydrolysis of peptide bonds |
c) | the rapid release of p-nitrophenol, followed by the slower formation of the p-nitrophenolate ion |
d) | the rapid release of the first product (p-nitrophenolate), followed by the slower hydrolysis of the acyl-enzyme intermediate |

Suppose colourblindness is an X-linked recessive trait, while Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant trait. Assume both traits are rare. A colourblind man decides to have children with a women who is heterozygous for both genes. What is the probability that they will have a child that is colourblind and does not have Huntington's?

In: Biology
The cost of NOT performing 2 cycles of photorespiration is
1 C in the form of CO2
4 C in the form of 2 molecules of phosphoglycolate
1 C (as CO2), 2 ATP, 2 NADPH equivalents, and one molecule of NH4+
3 ATP and 2 NADPH
5 ATP and 2 NADPH
As temperature increases, the quantum yield of photosynthesis in C3 plants is directly affected by
The decreasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the aqueous phase
The increasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the aqueous phase
The decreasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gas phase
The increasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gas phase
