1. biochemical polymorphism Flashcards
1
Q
biochemical polymorphism definition
A
different individuals of given species have different amino acids composition/ sequence in their molecules
2
Q
isoenzymes
A
enzyme protein which has different subunits and different amino acids composition of their subunits, hence the physical properties of the isoenzymes may vary.
3
Q
genetic polymorphism
A
differences in the sequences and amino acid composition of the same subunit between different individuals, because of the alleles of the gene coding
4
Q
what is the importance of the biochemical and genetic polymorphism
A
identifying individual animals, pedigree control and production estimation
