Answer:

6/16 dogs will not be able to smell.

Genes A and B are considered for scent smell.

Individuals homozygous for either one or both of the nonfunctional recessive alleles are not able to smell.

The final cross would be AaBb x AaBb which has outcome of;

Individual with homozygous nonfunctional recessive alleles (bold ones):

  • One nonfunctional recessive alleles: Aabb, aaBB, aaBb, Aabb, aaBb (5/16)
  • Two nonfunctional recessive alleles: aabb (1/16)
  • All nonfunctional recessive alleles: 6/16 dogs that could not smell scents

<h2>Cellular respiration </h2>

Explanation:

  • Cellular respiration is defined as a ATP generating process in which organic molecule is oxidized and inorganic molecule is final electron acceptor
  • Pain experienced in leg muscles is the result of formation of lactic acid in muscle cells
  • Under low oxygen, NADH cannot be reoxidized to NAD+ but NAD+ is required as an electron acceptor to continue glycolysis
  • In lactic acid fermentation pyruvate is the final electron acceptor and converted in lactate
  • Reaction catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase
