When the gene is considered pleiotropic, this means that a single gene controls or influences multiple and possibly unrelated phenotypic traits. Phenotypic traits are characteristics of an organism that is can be easily observed. Such as size, color, shape and behavior.

goblinko [34]
I'm not sure if I will answer the question you asked, as I many have interpreted it incorrectly. In natural selection, there must be variance in the gene pool, the total frequency of alleles in a population. Now, one of the organisms may have a gene that somehow helps them survive from the selective force much better compared to the others. If this does happen, over time the gene pool will narrow down to become just the genes of that organism that survived better in the first place because the rest would be taken care of by the selective force. So, the alleles and trait come from the first organisms that had the advantage over the others of its species.

which molecules are produced in glycolysis and used in fermentation? a. acetyl-coa and nadh b. lactate, atp, and c. glucose, atp
tangare [24]

c. Glucose and ATP are produced in glycolysis and used in fermentation.

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy. It generates two pyruvate molecules, ATP, NADH, and water. The process occurs in a cell's cytoplasm and does not require oxygen. It can be found in aerobic and anaerobic organisms.

Glycolysis is a cytoplasmic pathway that converts glucose into two three-carbon compounds while producing energy. Phosphorylation traps glucose with the help of the enzyme hexokinase.

Fermentation is a metabolic process that involves the action of enzymes to produce chemical changes in organic substrates. It is narrowly defined in biochemistry as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is an ancient method of food preservation. The method is still used today to make wine, cheese, sauerkraut, yogurt, and kombucha.
