They can be maintained in a gene pool if they are expressed before 
<span>reproductive age.</span>


For example:
Sickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal hemoglobin in red blood cells. hemoglobin is the red pigment found in red blood cells for carrying oxygen.The abnormality arises from a genetic mutation in the DNA gene that codes for the  beta chain of the protein called globin of which hemoglobin is made of.In the beta chain, the sixth amino acid called glutamine is replaced by another one called valine.This one change in the amino acids cause the hemoglobin protein  to behave abnormally, causing  red blood cells to lose their normal spherical shape and become bent like a sickle, hence the name "sickle cell" anemia

Answer:

Last option.  

Explanation:

Lethal alleles can be defined as the alleles that can cause organism's death having lethal alleles. This is because these alleles are resulted from mutations in genes, which are essential for proper growth and development.

Although lethal alleles are harmful, they can be maintained in gene pool if they express in an organism before his reproductive age as mutations can be passed from one generation to other if mutations are expressed in germline cells before reproduction.

Thus, the correct answer is last option.

An athlete or a person with some disease may vary in dietary needs.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The diet is one of the most important part of a human life. The person gets energy, all the macro and micro nutrients from the food. They get to have all protective principles of food from diet. There's an average balanced diet formula which says that the amount of carbohydrate to fat protein in a diet should be 3:1:1.

But it varies according to person's daily need of energy. For an athlete, the amount of energy needed is much more. So the amount of fat and protein in diet should increase. For an obese person, fat and carbohydrate restricted diet should be used. For a person with renal failure, very low protein diet should be suggested.

irinina [24]

Answer:

Cell respiration begins with Glycolysis .

Explanation:

Glycolysis  is the first and initial step in the cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the anaerobic process, which takes place in cytosol of the cells. Two molecule of pyruvate(CH3COCOO-) are formed from 1 molecule  of  glucose(C6H12O6)through glycolysis. The  NADH and  ATP are high energy molecules formed when the free energy are released. It is the process which takes place through a series of ten enzyme catalysed reactions. 10 enzymes are required to break down the sugar molecule. It occurs in cytoplasm.
