Answer:

The correct answer would be Thrifty Phenotype which is a component of Fetal Origins Hypothesis.

The hypothesis of thrifty phenotype states that decreased fetal growth is associated strongly with various chronic conditions developed later in life.

Metabolic adaptations developed by the fetus in response to the lack of nutrients in developing environment results in this increased susceptibility.

These offspring usually have reduced metabolic rate, small boy size and reduced levels of behavior.

These are more prone to metabolic disorders (such as type II diabetes, obesity) as chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke et cetera.

charle [14.2K]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA which enters the TCA cycle to be oxidized to carbon IV oxide.

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. So pyruvate is generated in the cytoplasm. This is transported into the mitochondria by pyruvate transporter.

For pyruvate to be decarboxylated to acetyl CoA in the mitochondria, a transport protein found on the cell membrane of mitochondria is needed to transport pyruvate across the inner membrane of mitochondria for pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction.

Answers is that the dog’s mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

When pyruvate is not converted to acetyl CoA, it will increase the level of lactate and/or alanine in anaerobic conditions.
