Answer:

The correct answer is c converts a tertiary alcohol which cannot easily be oxidized to a secondary alcohol that can be oxidized.

Explanation:

Both citrate and isocitrate are isomers of each other and also very important metabolic intermediates of TCA cycle.

  Citrate is a tertiary alcohol that"s why it cannot be metabolized as it"s functional group is surrounded by many bulky groups.

 To overcome this problem citrate is converted to isocitrate which is a secondary alcohol that can easily be metabolized to generate alpha ketoglurate an important intermediate of TCA cycle.

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating
timofeeve [1]

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating animal babies from their natural mothers, allowing them to be raised by another of their same species. This testing strategy is called Cross fostering

  • Transfer of children between mothers is known as cross-fostering. This method is used to distinguish between environmental and genetic impacts on behavior.
  • Transferring some freshly born or hatched young of species A from their mother nest to the nests of species B is the primary process of cross-fostering.
  • A behavior can be proven to have a genetic foundation if cross-fostered offspring have a behavioral attribute that is distinct from that of their foster parents and similar to that of their biological parents.
  • Similarly, environmental variables are proven to be dominating if the offspring exhibits qualities that are different from those of their biological parents and comparable to those of their foster parents.
  • There is frequently a combination of the two, demonstrating both genes.
  • This can be utilized in selective livestock breeding to combine desirable genetic traits like weight, fat distribution, or looks with ones that are influenced by the environment, like temper.
