Answer:
If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children
Explanation:
Even tho the cause of lung cancer is not very clear, a genetic predisposition is of a great influence, his smoking and therefore causing a lung cancer is not appliable to his children because of no connection, but in the sense of having a mutation which makes you predisposable to the cancer with or without the smoking, can lead to a high risk of gene inheritance and therefore inheriting the mutation with a high risk of getting lung cancer excluding the smoking.
Answer: alleles
Explanation:
"An allele is a variant form of a gene. Genes come in different varieties, called alleles. Somatic cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism."- Nature .com
<span>It is linear, because using the VSEPR theory, when you draw its lewis structure, you get two bonded pairs of electrons, which signifies a linear structure.</span>
Options
A. Yes, because all enzymes and electron carriers are functional
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
C. No, because leaky membranes inhibit glycolysis
D. No, because leaky membranes do not allow NADH and FADH2 to donate their electrons to the electron transport chain
Answer:
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
Explanation:
The proton motive force (PMF) provides the needed pump to generate electrochemical gradients of proton needed for continue influx into the matix of the mitochondria. The proton Influx generates the energy needed by protein ATPase Synthase for synthesis of ATPs by adding inorganic phosphate to ADP to give ATP.
ADP + Pi -----------→ ATP.
If the mitochondria;l intramembrane leaks, then the PMF can not be sustained, therefore electtrochermical gradient which supplies the energy for ATP synthase for ATP synthesis will not be available. Therefore ATP synthesis stops.
