Answer:
c. Glycolysis evolved in an oxygen-rich environment.
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. It is a common pathway that is performed by both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. In aerobic organisms, glycolysis is followed by Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain. In anaerobic organisms, alcohol or lactic acid fermentation regenerate the NAD+ which is required to sustain glycolysis.
Therefore, glycolysis is independent of oxygen availability and can be performed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This means that the pathway of glycolysis evolved under anaerobic conditions.
Answer:
number of nitrogen bases
Explanation:
<em>The correct answer would be the number of nitrogen bases.</em>
<u>A defective protein is usually caused by mutation, which is defined a change in the DNA sequence of an organism.</u>
Mutation can occur in a variety of ways including:
<em>1. Deletion of nucleotide base sequence in the DNA</em>
<em>2. Addition (insertion) of nucleotide base sequence in the DNA</em>
<em>3. Duplication of nucleotide sequence in the DNA</em>
<u>A change in number of phosphate molecules, sequence of subunits DNA and sequence of sugar molecules if possible in nature, do not lead to mutation if the change does not affect the sequence of DNA.</u>
Hence, the correct option is number of nitrogen bases.
