A hypothesis is an attempt to explain a phenomenon, based on partial information.

What does the analogy lock of key describe?

The lock and key analogy is often used to explain how specific molecules interact in biological systems, particularly in the context of enzyme-substrate interactions or receptor-ligand binding. In this analogy, the "lock" represents the enzyme or receptor, while the "key" symbolizes the substrate or ligand that fits precisely into the active site or binding site. This precise fit ensures that only specific substrates or ligands can trigger a biological response, emphasizing the importance of specificity in biochemical interactions.

What is Polymorphism and inheritance explain with example?

Polymorphism, is an object-oriented programming concept, which relates to the ability to create a variable, function or an object that has more than one form. This allows the object to invoke the correct instance of the variable, function or other object based upon the object type. The most common use of polymorphism in OOP occurs when a parent class reference is used to refer to a child class object.
