To reduce one molecule of O2 it takes 4 electrons.

Electron transfer is the last process of aerobic respiration that occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria. In electron transport, the process of making ATP occurs which will later be used by cells to carry out activities in the body. The material for making ATP comes from NADH and FADH2 which are produced in glycolysis, oxidative decarboxylation, and the Krebs cycle. O2 acts as the final electron acceptor which will later form H2O which will be removed from the cell.

In electron transport, NADH and FADH are utilized in a series of oxidation-reduction reactions until finally used to reduce O2 to H2O. This redox reaction involving various protein complexes in the mitochondrial inner membrane is referred to as oxidative phosphorylation. The energy released in this redox process is converted into a high-energy molecule, namely ATP. To reduce one molecule of O2 it takes 4 electrons.

Suppose we were successful in identifying 12 mutants using a screen for identifying conditional mutants of S. cerevisiae in whic
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Each mutant would be mated to wild type and to every other mutant to create diploid strains. The diploids would be assayed for growth at permissive and restrictive temperature. Diploids formed by mating a mutant to a wild type that can grow at restrictive temperatures identify the mutation as recessive. Only recessive mutations can be studied using complementation analysis. Diploids formed by mating two recessive mutants identify mutations in the same gene if the diploid cannot grow at restrictive temperature (non-complementation), and they identify mutations in different genes if the diploids can grow at restrictive temperature (complementation).

Explanation:

Recessive mutations are those whose phenotypic effects are only visible in homo-zygous individuals. Moreover, a complementation test is a genetic technique used to determine if two different mutations associated with a phenotype colocalize in the same <em>locus</em> (i.e., they are alleles of the same gene) or affect two different <em>loci</em>.  In diploid (2n) organisms, this test is performed by crossing two homo-zygous recessive mutants and then observing whether offspring have the wild-type phenotype. When two different recessive mutations localize in different <em>loci</em>, they can be considered as 'complementary' since the heterozygote condition may rescue the function lost in homo-zygous recessive mutants. In consequence, when two recessive mutations are combined in the same genetic background (i.e., in the same individual) and they produce the same phenotype, it is possible to determine that both mutations are alleles of the same gene/<em>locus</em>.
