How might a scientist determine whether a trait is sesx linked by observing the offspring of several genetic crosses?

Biology
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]4 years ago

Answer:

By checking the proportion of those affected by the trait in relation to gender within the population of the offspring

Explanation:

If a trait is sex linked, such trait will be found more in the male sex compared to the female sex within the population.

The male has XY chromosome and as such only needs a copy of the affected allele in order to be affected for the trait. A female has XX chromosome and as such needs two copies of the affected alleles in order to be affected for the trait.

Hence, the proportion of affected male always outweigh the proportion of affected female in a population as far as sex-linked trait is concerned.

<em>Consequently, a scientist might be able to determine whether a trait is sex-linked by observing the proportion of male to female affected by the trait within the offspring's population.</em>

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.
