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.
