b) 100% of the acetyl-CoA will be labeled at C-2
c) 50% of the acetyl-CoAwill be labeled, all at C-2 (methyl).

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The production of Acetyl-CoA takes place by the dissociation of both carbohydrates and lipids in the process of glycolysis and beta-oxidation. It then moves into the TCA cycle in the mitochondria and combines with oxaloacetate to give rise to citrate.  

In the given case, no labeling will be found in the acetyl-CoA. The labeled C3 and C4 carbon of glucose signify the carboxyl carbon of pyruvate. In the succeeding reactions of the transformation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, the carboxyl carbon gets lost in the form of carbon dioxide. Thus, acetyl-CoA does not comprise any labeled C3 and C4 of glucose.

The second option: meiosis and fertilization

process A is meiosis, you can see that the gamete(haploid cell) results from the diploid cell. The gamete has n chromosomes(39), whereas the diploid cell has 2n(78)

process B is fertilization the two gametes(haploid) fuse together to form the zygote(diploid)
