Answer:

It will lose weight

Explanation:

The pyruvate is the product formed by the process of glycolysis by the breakdown of the glucose-mediated by enzymes.

The process of glycolysis take place in the cytosol therefore for further processing or stages of respiration, the pyruvate has to enter the mitochondria which occur through the (H+)/pyruvate symporter.

In the given question condition, if the symporter is blocked then the pyruvate will not enter into the mitochondria as a result of which less ATP will be produced. So the body will use some other sources which can form the pyruvate which can easily enter the mitochondria.

Therefore, the body will begin to lose weight.

Most new alleles probably arise from ____. a. Rearrangement of existing alleles into new combinations b. Independent assortment
Drupady [299]

Answer;

- large-scale changes in chromosome structure

Explanation;

-Alterations to chromosome structure or changes in the number of copies of chromosomes in a cell.

-Allele frequencies in a population may change due to four fundamental forces of evolution: Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, Mutations and Gene Flow. Mutations are the ultimate source of new alleles in a gene pool. Mutation is important as the first step of evolution because it creates a new DNA sequence for a particular gene, creating a new allele.
