Introduction:

The activity of an enzyme in a reaction can be reduced by several inhibitors. The inhibitors can be competitive (increase the Km value), uncompetitive (decrease the Km value), or non- competitive (do not alter the Km value), depending upon the mechanism used to inhibit the activity of the enzyme. Some of them bind to the free enzyme, some bind only to enzyme-substrate complex, whereas some inhibitors can bind with both.

Question 1 The fungus Melampsora lini causes a disease known as flax rust. Different strains of M. lini cause varying degrees of the disease. Conversely, different strains of flax are resistant or sensitive to the various varieties of the fungus. The Bombay variety of flax is resistant to M. lini strain 22 but sensitive to M. lini strain 24. A strain of flax called 770B is just the opposite; it is resistant to strain 24 but sensitive to strain 22. When 770B was crossed to Bombay, all F1 individuals were resistant to both strain 22 and strain 24. When F1 individuals were self-fertilized, the following data were obtained: 43 resistant to strain 22 but sensitive to strain 24 9 sensitive to strain 22 and strain 24 32 sensitive to strain 22 but resistant to strain 24 110 resistant to strain 22 and strain 24 Explain the inheritance pattern for flax resistance and sensitivity to M. lini strains. Question 2 Describe the significance of nonparentals with regard to the law of independent…
