Answer: To compensate for low concentrations of carbohydrates, the body hydrolyzes TAGs to free fatty acids and glycerol, the latter of which is provided in ample supply to feed the -citric acid cycle.

<span>When the body is under starvation condition, low concentration of carbohydrates occurs, then the body hydrolyzes triacylglycerols to fatty acids and ketone bodies. Moreover, the acetyl CoA cannot be transformed into pyruvate so fatty acids cannot be converted into glucose. The other potential source of glucose is amino acids but this process is inherently inefficient and weakens the body so protein must be preserve.</span>

seraphim [82]

Answer: The frequency of brown beetles is 0.32.

Explanation: The frequency of A1 allele is 0.8. As p+q=1, or the sum of dominant and recessive frequencies equals 1 or 100%:

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

In Hardy-Weinberg principle,

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1

2pq represents the frequency of heterozygote individuals, so:

genotype A1A2 = 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32.

Thus, the frequency of brown beetles (A1A2) in the population is 0.32.

6. In corn plants, normal height (H) is dominant over short height (h). Complete a
shutvik [7]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Normal height - H

Short height - h

Heterozygous - Hh

A cross involving heterozygotes would be Hh x Hh

         Hh    x    Hh

      HH   Hh   Hh   hh

Since H is dominant over h;

HH and Hh would produce normal height phenotypes.

hh will produce a short height phenotype.

Thus;

<em>Probability of normal height phenotype resulting from the cross = 3/4 or 75%</em>

<em>Probability of short height phenotype resulting from the cross = 1/4 or 25%</em>
