Answer: Lipids.

Explanation:

The large carbon -hydrogen bonds(C-H) in chains of lipids makes them ideal storage of energy.

T<u>he more C-H bonds breakage, the higher protons availability from Citric acid cycle NADH and FADH2  and hydrogen atom splitting (to protons and electrons) for  the electron transport chains (ETC</u>), and therefore the higher proton pumps for  more ATP's synthesis in the mitochondria matrix.  

In addition large number of electrons  surrounding carbon atom in fatty acids than other food molecule is added factor.  The transfer of these electrons to oxygen during oxidation of fatty acids releases large amount of energy (9 kilo calorie) into the cells,  more than other food substances

That was the picture, here is the math. Rather than computing all the individual probabilities then multiplying them out, I prefer to compute the probability distribution of each generation and pass it along that way. 


The grandfather's probability of being Tt is 2/3. *If he is Tt* each of his offspring (2a and 2b) has a 1/2 probability of being Tt as well. So overall, the probability for each of his offspring being Tt is 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/3. 


The offspring are independent events (one would hope) so the probability of both his offspring 2a and 2b being Tt is 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9.


If 2a is Tt, 2a and TT spouse have a 1/2 probability of producing a Tt offspring. The same argument applies to 2b. The probability that 2a and 2b produce Tt offspring is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4. But the probability that 2a and 2b were Tt is 1/9 as calculated above. So the probability that 3a and 3b are both Tt is 1/4 * 1/9 = 1/36. So there is a 1/36 chance that 3a and 3b both are carriers. 


If 3a and 3b have a child and if they are both Tt carriers, the probability that they will have a tt child is 1/4. The probability that 3a and 3b are both carriers is 1/36. So to obtain the probability of a tt child is 1/4 * 1/36 = 1/144.


I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
