21. Which step in cellular respiration occurs outside of the inner membrane space of the cell mitochondria? a. Krebs Cycle c. Tr
Marrrta [24]

Answer: c. Transition Reaction

Explanation:

During the transition reaction, Acetyl-CoA is formed and connects the first stage of glycolysis with the Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle). In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate enters the mitochondria and is oxidized to form a compound of 2 carbon, acetate, with energy and CO2 release. During this process, the acetate binds to a coenzyme(coenzyme A (CoA)) - forming the acetyl-coenzyme A.

The 3 steps:

1. pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetate with liberation of CO2;

2. the energy released in the oxidation of pyruvate is stored in the reduction reaction of NAD+ to NADH + H+

3. The acetate molecule combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl-coenzyme A.

The population in South Africa is more prone to sickle cell anemia (genotype "ss"). People with genotype "ss" survive only up to
lions [1.4K]
The answer is stabilizing selection.

<span>Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by the presence of two recessive alleles "s", so genotype is "ss". This disorder is characterized by sickle hemoglobin. In an area with malaria, heterozygous individuals "Ss" (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele) have an advantage. These individuals will have both normal and sickle hemoglobin. But pathogen that causes malaria affect only normal hemoglobin, so heterozygous individuals will have half of the hemoglobin resistant to the pathogen and those individuals are resistant to malaria.</span>

Stabilizing selection favors heterozygotes Ss,  disruptive selection favors dominant (SS) and recessive (ss) homozygotes, while directional selection favors dominant (SS) or recessive (ss) homozygote. Since in this example, people with genotype Ss (heterozygotes) are in advantage, then this is an example of stabilizing selection.

<h3>What is Mike Velings talks about?</h3>

Industrial aquaculture has had a wide range of negative effects on the environment, including the overfishing of wild fish to feed carnivorous farmed fish and the escape of farmed fish from their containment, which endangers local wild fish populations.

Lastly, in the words of Mike Velings, We are approaching a worldwide food crisis, he said. At our current rate, we are already taking more fish from the ocean than it can naturally replace, despite the fact that almost 3 billion people rely on the ocean for their food. Mike Velings, an entrepreneur and conservationist, offers a solution in this fact-filled, eye-opening talk: the practice of farming fish. "We need to stop hunting the ocean and start farming it,"
