The synthesis of fatty acids starts with a preparratory phase in which acetyl CoA is translocated from mitochondria to the cytosol. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is translocated as citrate that is cleaved to acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.
In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is transformed to malonyl-CoA, that is, a three carbon compound. Fatty acid synthesis starts with the transfer of the acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to fatty acid synthase.
Two-carbon groups supplied by malonyl-CoA, are supplemented to the developing acyl chain in a series of steps involving condensation, reduction, and dehydration reactions. Elongation of the fatty acid chain ceases at 16 carbon atoms, after 7 cycles, as the free fatty acid is discharged.
Answer:
The question lacks the illustrative diagram, the diagram has been attached as an image.
The correct answer, according to the picture is A.
Explanation:
All cells undergo division (mitosis or meiosis). Meiosis reduces the chromosomal number of the daughter cells by half. According to the question, The female species of Myrmecia pilosula ant has diploid cells total number of 2 chromosomes.
At the metaphase stage of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) aligns at the center/equator of the cell called METAPHASE PLATE. This alignment is done when spindle fibres attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes.
Option A in the diagram depicts this arrangement of homologous chromosomes in the centre of the cell. Note that, each chromosome has replicated to form SISTER chromatids held together at the centromere. These chromosomes will be pulled apart in the next stage (Anaphase).
Option B depicts only one replicated chromosome
Option D depicts separation of sister chromatids (only one chromosome)
Option E depicts separation of sister chromatids of two chromosomes which occurs in the Anaphase of meiosis II
It would be Watson and Crick in Feb 28 1953
Answer:
Cytokinesis
Explanation:
Cytokinesis happens after mitosis. It is the final division to create two new cells. In this phase, the cytoplasm divides and two complete daughter cells are created. These two new cells have genetic information that is identical to the parent cell from which they originated.
Answer:
Cell differentiation.
Explanation:
This is because cell differentiation refer to the process where cell changes from one cell types to tissues or organs or even system or specialised cells during a developmental stages to perform functions. It occur in multicellular organisms where zygote changes to tissues or system.
. This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression refer to the combination of genes that can either be expressed or repressed.
