Question
Chapter 17.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The disorder alkaptonuria is dominant or recessive. Garrod (1902) suggested that this condition is expressed when the faulty gene alleles are inherited from both the parents.
Concept introduction:
Alkaptonuria occurs due to the deficiency of the enzyme homogentisate 1, 2- dioxygenase. Thus, the body is unable to breakdown tyrosine and phenylalanine amino acids causing dark urine. In a research article by Garrod (1902) about alkaptonuria, he suggested that this disorder is caused when the abnormal allele is inherited from both the parents.

"Regulation of metabolic pathways most typically occurs at enzyme steps that are"
. MAKE CONNECTIONS Considering how enzymes function (see Concept 8.4), explain why vitamins are requiredin very small amounts.
5) Consider the hypothetical biochemical pathway shown below. Assume that each letter (A, B, C, etc) represents a molecule and each number over an arrow (1, 2, 3, etc) represents an enzyme that catalyzes that reaction (so enzyme 2 catalyzes the conversion of B to C). Indicate all the probable feedback inhibition interactions that would be expected to regulate the activity of enzymes in this pathway. please indicate each interaction in the format example: "X will inhibit enzyme 27".
