Answer:
E1: Pyruvate dehydrogenase, TPP, oxidative decarboxylation reaction
E2: Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, Lipoamide and Co-enzyme A, transacetylation reaction.
E3: Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, FAD and NAD+, oxidation reaction
Explanation:
Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a multi-enzyme complex with 5 co-enzymes and 3 apo-enzymes:
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) , which uses thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) as as co-enzymes to catalyze oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to hydroxyethyl-TPP.
Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2): which uses lipoamide and coenzyme A as co-enzymes to catalyse the transacetylation from TPP to Lipoamide to form acetyl lipoamide.
Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) which uses FAD and NAD+ as co-enzymes to catalyze the oxidation of lipoamide
Explanation:
Such an offspring would have the genotype YY, which are the dominant alleles that code for yellow colour in bananas.
In the Punnett's Square, none of the offspring have YY genotype. Hence the answer is 0%.
