At first glance, fermentation of pyruvate to lactate appears to be an optional add-on reaction to glycolysis. After all, could c

ells growing in the absence of oxygen not simply discard pyruvate as a waste product? In the absence of fermentation, which products derived from glycolysis would accumulate in cells under anaerobic conditions? Could the metabolism of glucose via the glycolytic pathway continue in the absence of oxygen in cells that cannot carry out fermentation? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, glycolysis can not be continued without fermentation in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

In the absence of oxygen, cells perform fermentation to oxidize NADH into NAD+. NAD+ is required during the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate into 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate. Fermentation reduces pyruvate and oxidizes NADH so that the NAD+ supply is continued to ensure continuity of glycolysis.

If fermentation does not occur under anaerobic conditions, cells will accumulate pyruvate and NADH. Glycolysis could not be continued in the absence of NAD+.

Dvinal [7]
Since the two species co-inhabit the same habitat, habitat isolation can be disregarded as a factor keeping the two species separate. There are however some other broad categories of mechanisms for <span>reproductive isolation. One is behaviour. Many birds in particular have very specific mating rituals, including mating dances, particular bird song, the development of specific mating plumage, the release of specific pheromones and the building of a particular nest structure. Another broad category is mechanical isolation. You will find that the genital organs of particular species are very specific, and preclude other close species from successfully mating. Another broad category is gametic isolation. For most species combinations, it is not possible for the gametes to fuse successfully to form a hybrid. If hybrid games do fuse, in many cases, the hybrids are sterile, such as mules for example.     </span>

Which type of sexual exchange occurs among bacteria in which DNA is carried into a bacterial cell by means of a virus
sesenic [268]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Transduction

Explanation:

There are three processes by which genetic material of one bacteria can pass to the other bacteria and these processes are transformation, conjugation, and transduction.

In transduction bacteriophage( virus that infects bacteria) is responsible for the transfer of genetic material of one bacteria to another bacteria. When a virus infects one bacteria its genetic material divides with the bacterial DNA and sometime during making new phage particles part of bacteria DNA gets packed in viral capsid.

When that virus infects another bacteria the genetic material of other bacteria gets incorporated in its host genome and this process is called transduction.
