A mutation occurring in a human can be passed

Biology
1 answer:
loris [4]4 years ago
4 0
The correct answer is 2. 

A mutation can only be passed on to offspring if it occurs in the sex cell of the parent, which is what then forms the offspring. This renders all the other answers incorrect, because they do not happen in the gametes of ovaries or testes (the sex organs of females and males, respectively).

Which of the following statements about the organization of the purine synthetic enzymes are true? The process involves multifun
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: All of the statements are true.

Explanation:

Purines are biologically synthesized as nucleotides and in particular as ribotides, that is, bases attached to ribose 5-phosphate. Adenine and guanine are both derived from the nucleotide inosine monophosphate (IMP), which is the first compound in the pathway to have a completely formed purine ring system.

Purine nucleotides can be synthesized in two distinct pathways. First, purines are synthesized de novo, starting with simple starting materials such as amino acids and bicarbonate. the purine bases are assembled already attached to the ribose ring. Alternatively, purine bases, released by the hydrolytic degradation of nucleic acids and nucleotides, can be salvaged and recycled. Purine salvage pathways are mostly noted for the energy that they save and the remarkable effects of their absence.

All statements are correct because the organization of purine synthetic enzymes involves multifunctional enzymes, reversible enzyme formations, through out the sequence there is maintenance of high local concentration and the ten steps requires only six enzymes.

Which part of cellular respiration provide most of the energy to run
lora16 [44]

Answer: The electron transport chain.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is defined as the mechanism by which living organisms converts organic substances from food such as glucose with the use of oxygen into energy-carrying biomolecules (e.g. adenosine triphosphate or ATP). There are different stages of cellular respiration which includes:

--> glycolysis,

--> pyruvate oxidation,

--> the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and

--> oxidative phosphorylation.

The oxidative phosphorylation also referred to as the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It transfers electrons donated by the reduced electron carriers NADH and FADH2 (obtained from glycolysis, the citric acid cycle or fatty acid oxidation) through a series of electrons acceptors, to oxygen.

The electron transport chain is said to produces most of the energy which is 34 ATP molecules, as compared to only 2 ATP for glycolysis and 2 ATP for Krebs cycle.

A population of 100 butterflies living on an acre of land loses three-quarters of its members when a sudden freeze in the spring
wel

Answer:

The correct answer is - a density independent factor.

Explanation:

Any external cause or change that leads to the change in the size of a population regardless of the density of the particular population known as a density independent factor in ecology.

Density independent factors are the factors that are not affected by the size of the population size of the species such as weather, climate and natural disasters.

Thus, the correct answer is -  a density independent factor.
