Answer:

A recessive trait is a trait that is expressed when an organism has two recessive alleles, or forms of a gene. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles, so a recessive trait is only expressed when an organism has two recessive alleles for a gene.

hope this helps :)

Recessive is a quality found in the relationship between two versions of a gene. individuals receive one version of a gene called an allele, from each parent. if the alleles are different, the dominant allele will be expressed while the effect of the other allele called recessive, is masked.

hope this helps out

The ground finches adapted to have larger beaks to eat the bigger seeds in the drier seasons. This means over the years only the bigger beaked finches could survive to reproduce.

In coupled reactions, the energy released by a(n) ____________ is used to drive a(n) ____________ . ATP breakdown is often coupl

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: Exergonic reaction; Endergonic reaction

In coupled reactions, the energy released by an exergonic reaction is used to drive an endergonic reaction. ATP breakdown is often coupled to cellular reactions that require an input of energy.

Explanation:

Cellular reactions include Exergonic and endergonic reactions. An exergonic reaction is one that occurs spontaneously and brings about the release of energy (in form of ATP). On the other hand, an endergonic reaction proceeds only with the input of energy.

Thus, exergonic reactions are usually coupled to endergonic reactions

scZoUnD [109]

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
