Mixed Acid Fermentation is a biological process by which a six carbon sugar is converted into complex mixture of acids. It is an example of anaerobic fermentation reaction which is commonly seen in bacteria.

The fermentation produces lactate, acetate, succinate, formate, ethanol, H_{2} and CO_{2} and their formation depends upon the presence of certain key enzymes in the bacterium.

The Methyl Red test is used in detecting occurring of mixed acid fermentation pathway when glucose is provided to microbes by using ph indicator. If the fermentation pathway has taken place, the mixture of acids will make the solution very acidic and causes red color change. The Methyl Red test belongs to the group called as IMViC tests.

Speculate as to how the information obtained from the sequencing of the human genome might be used to someday eliminate inborn e
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sequencing the human genome is the function of the human genome project with the goal of determining the base pairs/order of DNA nucleotides that make up human genome, and also identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome both from the physical level and its functions in molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could allow for better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic (inherited) disorders where the body cannot properly digest and turn food into energy through the normal pathway. The disorders are usually caused by mutations in specific enzymes that help in the break down of these foods.

Through the study of the human genome, sequences involved in these mutations giving rise to these disorders are identified and mapped to their variuos locations. This can help in the early diagnosis of the disorders and effective control system for drugs and gene therapy against these disorders.

Calculate the ratios of the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in the F1 generation.
solmaris [256]
<span>Answer: an FfxFf cross would produce- FF Ff Ff ff. Genotype: 1:2:1 (just look at the number of different pairs- 1 FF, 2 Ff's, and 1 ff.) Phenotype: 3:1 (because all the pairs with a capital F will appear, the only one that will not be expressed is ff, and there are FF, Ff, Ff which all have capital "F". so its 3:1.)</span>
