Answer:
a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae.
b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- Antennae development ⇒ controlled by maternal effect
- Zig-zag coils are dominant
- Curly coils are recessive
- A female develops zig-zag coils
Maternal effect: Refers to the influence of the “environment provided by the mother” on the progeny phenotype. The mother´s genotype directly determines the progeny phenotype. Even though the progeny has a different genotype, it is irrelevant, as well as the father´s genotype or phenotype. This means that no matter what is the genotype of the offspring, all of them will express the same phenotype as their mother. The maternal effect is commonly seen in insects and might be seen in some mammals and plants.
So, if a female has zig-zag coils, this means that the mother also has zig-zag antennae and that all the brothers and sisters of this female ant have zig-zag antennae, independently of their genotype.
a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The trait is inherited from the mother.
b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The whole progeny will express sig-zag antennae.
c. This female carries the zig-zag allele ⇒ Not necessarily.
d. This female's offspring will have zig-zag antennae ⇒ Depends on it´s genotype
Answer:
This question lacks options, options are:
A) ATP
B) NADP
C) Pryuvate
D) glucose
E) acetyl-CoA.
The correct answer is C) Pyruvate.
Explanation:
Pyruvate is a very important compound for the cell since it is a key substrate for energy production and glucose synthesis (neo-glycogenesis), that is, pyruvate is the end product of glucose breakdown in glycolysis. Before entering the mitochondria, it can be converted to lactate, through an anaerobic reaction (in the absence or under oxygen supply) of low performance in energy production, when the main pathway is interfered with. It can also be converted to the amino acid alanine. Within the mitochondria, it can be transformed, by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), into acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), the entry point (substrate) of the Krebs cycle. In addition, by means of pyruvate carboxylase, it can be transformed into oxalacetate, which constitutes the first step in neoglycogenesis.
