Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is a feedforward <u>allosteric</u> activator of liver pyruvate kinase.

<h3>What is the role of fructose 1/6-Bisphosphate?</h3>

A crucial enzyme in gluconeogenesis is fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). It is a possible target for drugs used to treat type II diabetes. Additionally, the protein is linked to a rare genetic metabolic disorder, and certain cancer cells lack the activity of the enzyme FBPase, which encourages glycolysis and aids in the Warburg effect.

The following reaction is catalyzed by FBPase. The enzyme is controlled allosterically by several small molecules, including AMP and fructose-2,6-phosphate, which are negative regulators, and ATP, which is a positive regulator. Pyruvate kinase activity is activated when FBP attaches to the allosteric binding site on domain C of the enzyme. This conformational shift is brought on by a change in the enzyme's structure.

Answer:

(2⁵)²: 1024 combinations

Explanation:

In this case, the chromosome haploid number (n) of the target species is equal to 10, and therefore its diploid number (2n) is equal to 5 (i.e., somatic cells in the target species contain 5 pairs of chromosomes). That means that one individual can produce 2⁵ or 32 different gametic combinations. Moreover, the number of possible combinations that emerge from paring different gametes (sexual reproduction) can be calculated as (32)² = 1024 combinations.

I think they are called Sutural. Intra sutural bones also known as the wormian bones are extra bone pieces that occur within a suture (a joint) in the cranium. They are irregular isolated bones that appears in addition to the usual centers of ossification of the cranium and they are not rare bone despite being unusual.

The image shows the evolution of a species of fish. A few fish from a population developed different social behaviors and evolve

adell [148]

According to the image, the fish underwent sympatric speciation. The new species of fish had mating seasons that were different from that of the original fish. Because of the differences in mating seasons, the fish underwent reproductive isolation. This mode of isolation would be temporal.

Sympatric speciation happens within a population of an organism that gets isolated reproductively due to differences in their mating periods. This time dependent isolation is called temporal isolation. Example, a fish population can split into two if some of the fishes start mating early in the spring while the rest mate late in the autumn. The spring-mating population will not become compatible to mate with the late-autumn-mating population.
