What amino acid can be obtained by the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

Answer:

Glutamic acid

Explanation:

Reductive amination is a form of amination that involves the conversion of a carbonyl group to an amine via an intermediate imine. The carbonyl group is most commonly a ketone or an aldehyde. In this reaction, in the presence of enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase, ammonium ion directly combines with alpha-ketoglutaric acid, to form glutamic acid (amino acid) and for this to happen, a reduced coenzyme (NADPH) is required.

The biosynthesis of glutamic acid  can be obtianed from the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

γ-Ketoglutaric acid is a common precursor in synthesis of glutamic acid. Addition of NADPH and ammonia or alpha amino acid with   γ-Ketoglutaric acid produces glutamic acid. Enzymes involved in this reduction amination  process are glutamate dehydrogenase and/or transaminase.

SVEN [57.7K]

Cell division can be stated as the process of dividing the parent cells into two or more daughter cells

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The evidence for the student claim would be the model meiosis, meiosis can be defined as the unique way of cell division used by sexually reproducing organisms to produce the gametes.
  • It consists of totally eight stages such as Prophase I and 2, MetaPhase 1 and 2, Anaphase 1 and 2, Telophase1 and 2, Cytokinesis 1 and 2.
  • It consists of two division cycle which results in haploid gametes.
  • During meiosis, chromosomes assort themselves independently of each other, which allows for more different possible combinations of chromosomes and that particular recombination makes the genetic diversity.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

the frequency of individuals with Type B blood in the population is 0.1977

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of A allele is p = 0.24

Frequency of the individuals with blood type O is r = 0.38

Question: What is the frequency of individuals with Type B blood in the population, fB = ?

You need to apply the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium:

p²+q²+r²+2pq+2pr+2qr = 1

Here,

p, q and r are the frequencies of the alleles

Calculating the frequency of the allele q:

r=\sqrt{0.38} =0.6164

q = 1-p-r = 1-0.24-0.6164 = 0.1436

Frequency of individuals with type B blood:

f_{B} =q^{2} +2qr=(0.1436)^{2} +(2*0.1436*0.6164)=0.1977
