Answer:

B) 6*10^-5

Explanation:

When you want to know the mutation rate per-locus you only have to multiply the number of base pairs of that locus by the mutation rate per base pair. Its a matter of what is the probability that every base pair in that locus could mutate.

(4*10^-8)*(1500)=6*10^-5

charle [14.2K]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA which enters the TCA cycle to be oxidized to carbon IV oxide.

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. So pyruvate is generated in the cytoplasm. This is transported into the mitochondria by pyruvate transporter.

For pyruvate to be decarboxylated to acetyl CoA in the mitochondria, a transport protein found on the cell membrane of mitochondria is needed to transport pyruvate across the inner membrane of mitochondria for pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction.

Answers is that the dog’s mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

When pyruvate is not converted to acetyl CoA, it will increase the level of lactate and/or alanine in anaerobic conditions.
