If pyruvate-2-14C (pyruvate with the middle carbon atom radioactively labeled) is provided to actively respiring mitochondria, m

ost of the radioactivity will be incorporated into citrate. Trace the route whereby radioactively labeled carbon atoms are incorporated into citrate, and indicate where in the citrate molecule the label will first appear.

Answer:

The middle carbon atom of pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of acetate and hence the newly added (upper) carboxyl group in citrate

Explanation:

Before entering the TCA cycle, pyruvate is converted into Acetyl-CoA by  oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate. 1st two carbons of glucose to be fully oxidized. This reaction is catalyzed by Pyruvate dehydrogenase.

The middle carbon atom of the pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of the acetate as the carboxyl group is removed from the pyruvate , releasing CO2. NAD is reduced to NADH. Acetyl group is transferred to coenzyme-A , resulting in acetyl coA

A population of Anolis lizards lives on the mainland. During a storm, three groups of Anolis migrate to three islands, one large
natka813 [3]

Answer:

(i) Small island

(ii) Large island

(iii) Option-3

Explanation:

In the given question, the three population of the Anoles Lizards migrated to three islands of different size.

(i) Genetic drift is a random or by the chance process which changes the frequency of the alleles in the population. The change in the frequency of the allele can be easily observed in the small population therefore the small island with the smallest size of the population will have the strongest genetic drift.

(ii) Heterozygosity of alleles that is with a dominant and a recessive allele is the result of the exchange of alleles in the population. The size of the population is finite on the island therefore the heterozygosity is not introduced in the small population but in a large population, it can be introduced as the mating is random.

(iii) The genetic drift is strongest on the small island therefore L2 allele can be easily influenced by this effect. The selection coefficient is very small that is 0.002 therefore no mutation is occurring on the island.
