Answer:

Tastes are detected on the tongue through cells called gustatory cells. Gustatory cells have a variety of taste receptors. When bitterness is detected, the brain receives a message from these cells.

The taste of PTC is associated with a gene formed by the alleles responsible for tasting and non-tasting. These alleles are extremely important for us to be able to feel the different types of flavors.

The allele that codes for taste, is present in the taste buds of the tongue and can react with PTC molecules, allowing us to feel a characteristic bitter taste for that molecule. On the other hand, the non-gustatory allele is unable to react with PTC molecules. When these two alleles are combined within a genotype, the individual has a phenotype that allows sensitivity to the presence of the PTC flavor.

What is substrate-level phosphorylation?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D --  ATP synthesis when the phosphate donor is a substrate with high phosphoryl transfer potential

Explanation:

Substrate- level phosphorylation is the synthesis of ATP from ADP by the transfer of phosphoryl group from a substrate with high phosphoryl group potential to the ADP molecule.

In substrate-level phosphorylation, the donor is a phosphorylated intermediate molecule with a high phosphate transfer potential and it is a way through which phosphate in introduced into a molecule, the other two ways are oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. In substrate-level phosphorylation, a PO4^2- is transferred from a phosphate intermediate (substrate) to ADP to form ATP. Phosphorylase and kinases are enzymes involved in this reaction. An example is the reaction in glycolysis which involves phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to form Pyruvate and ATP. This is to ensure adequate supply of energy to cells and also during anoxia so as not to make mitochodria strain the glycolytic ATP reserves.

In _______ a population isolated by a geographic barrier becomes a new species as it accumulates changes by natural selection or
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation occurs when a geographical barrier comes between a species population living in the same area. This geographical barrier separates the population into two different geographical area which do not have the same condition.

So as both the separated population get different habitat environment to live so they evolve differently from each other. So natural selection and genetic drift works differently in both the population which brings genetic changes in the population and helps in creating a new species.
