Nucleic acid digestion yields nucleotides, whereas protein digestion yields amino acids; both digestive processes nucleic acid digestion yields nucleotides, whereas protein digestion yields amino acids: a) both digestive processes are catalyzed by the same enzyme. b) require the presence of hydrochloric acid to lower the ph. c) add a water molecule to break bonds (hydrolysis). d) require atp as an energy source.

B

Explanation:

Nucleic acid digestion yields nucleotides, whereas protein digestion yields amino acids. Both digestive processes require the presence of Hydrochloric acid to lower the pH.  Hydrochloric acid popularly described as HCl contributes in both protein and nucleic acid digestion by supplying hydrogen ions which in turn activate pepsinogen, which in turns form pepsin necessary for digestion.

some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring, so the answer is different genetic mutations cause many forms of cancer.

the answer to the blank provided is “an autosomal gene that is required for the expression of genes on the x chromosome”.

testis-determining factor, abbreviated as td, which is more popularly known as sex-determining region y or sry protein, is a dna-binding protein or  gene-regulatory protein/transcription factor, encoded by the  sry gene. it is the gene responsible for the initiation of male gender determination in humans.
