MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

A) Chromosomes are made of DNA

C) Alleles are the different forms of a gene that can exist

D) Chromosomes contain genes that control the inheritance of traits.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are long molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain part (or all) of the genetic material of an organism. Humans contain 46 chromosomes organized in 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, X and Y). Moreover, a gene is a physical segment of a chromosome that contains the information to encode a protein. Alleles are different forms of a gene  (i.e., gene variants) that may be caused by mutations or genetic recombination. Humans are diploid organisms (2N: 46), and therefore we have two copies of each gene (alleles), one on each homologous chromosome.

When NADH or NADPH transfers electrons to a recipient molecule, the recipient becomes reduced and the activated carriers are oxi
Allushta [10]

Answer:

NAD is a coenzyme found in all cells. It consists of two nucleotides linked through their phosphate groups with a nucleotide that contains an adenosine ring and another that contains nicotinamide.

Explanation:

In metabolism, NAD participates in oxidation reduction reactions. This coenzyme is found in two forms in the cells: NAD and NADH. NAD accepts electrons from other molecules and is reduced, forming NADH, which you can use as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of the NAD.

In living organisms, NAD can be synthesized from scratch from the amino acids tryptophan or aspartic acid. Some NADs are found in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), whose chemistry is similar to NAD, although it has different functions in metabolism.
