Answer:

b. average heterozygosity

Explanation:

From the available options:

a. nucleotide variability

b. average heterozygosity

c. average number of loci

d. geographic variability

Nucleotide variability represents a form of genetic variation that occur as a result of difference in nucleotide sequence of deoxy ribonucleic acid.

The locus is a region on the chromosome where genes are located. Average number of locus thus refers to total number of loci per total number of individuals in a population.

Geographic variability refers to difference in genetic traits across the various geographical distribution of a population.

Average heterozygosity is the percentage or proportion of heterozygous individuals for a trait within a population. It is a common measure of genetic variation in a population.

When a mutation occur within a population and this leads to the introduction of a new allele at a locus for which some individuals within the population are homozygous, it will directly affect the average heterozygosity of the population because more individuals will lose their homozygosity and become heterozygous.

<em>The correct option is b.</em>

Consider aerobic cellular metabolism from the beginning to end. What is the sequential order of the metabolic processes that sta
poizon [28]

Explanation:

This starts with substrate level phosphorylation(glycolysis) in the  cytosol of cytoplasms.Two ATPs are needed for phosphorylation of glucose.With eventual formation of  4 ATPs with 2NET GAIN ATPs,NADH+,and Pyruvate.

The Pyruvate reacts with co-enzyme A to form Acetyl coA-This is the bridge reaction or link reaction.

The Acetyl Co-A diffuses into the mitochondria where it combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate,the latter form Alpha ketoglutaric succinic,fumate,malate and back to oxaloacetate.The cycle of events is called the Kreb's Cycle.

Net of 2ATPs are formed,co-enzymes NADH+ and FADH2 ,water molecules,and Co2  are produced.These takes place in the mitochondria.

Then the NADH+ and FADH2 takes the hydrogen ions into the inner mitochondria where Hydrogen is split into electron and Protons.This forms the beginning of oxidative phosphorylation.

The electrons are transmitted by the carrier proteins to form the electron transport chains,which provide the PMF. The latter pumps the protons across  the walls of mitochondria into the intramembrane space.

The high concentration of the protons produce the elecrochemical gradients which make the protons to diffuse back into the matrix. it is the changes in the elctrochemical gradients that supply the energy  needed by ATPase enzymes for synthesis of ATPs. A total of 28ATPs are produced in oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer:

The total ATPs produced in the sequence of glycolysis pyruvatre,Co-enzyme A, kreb's Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are  32ATPs per molecule of glucose splits in Glycolysis.
