Until recently, Henry has been very healthy. Alas, Henry recently was prescribed a medicine for a blood clot in his leg, which led to nose bleeds. This would be considered an adverse reaction to the medicine, so the doctor took him off of it. The doctor tested for blood levels of the drug in a week, and the number was high, indicating that he was not breaking down
the drug properly
Henry was discovered to have a defective enzyme, one that is supposed to break down drugs. The problem would lie in the genetic coding for the enzyme. Where one triplet should be
ATT, Henry's is CTT.
1. What organic category does an enzyme fall into?
2. What does the ATT code for and what does CTT for?
3. What can you deduce about further medications that Henry is prescribed?

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
