Answer:

C. But be careful. This question is poorly conceived. Anything could be the answer.

Explanation:

A B and D are all specific to the disciple they are involved in.

That only lets you choose C. You could argue that a physicist or an electrical engineer would not be particularly interested in the death of some elm trees, and I think I would agree with you.

But what other choice to you have?

While the professor is tracking the fresh water fish, how is that benefiting mankind? What is he learning that is universally applicable. I wouldn't choose A.

B is an advance in technology. It might make the dairy farmer's life a whole lot easier, but I don't think it would have very effect on anyone else. Not B.

D: Again this benefits surgeons but again it is technology. I don't think it universally benefits all of humanity except those who are going to be operated on.

So I'll stick with C. People die. So do trees and all vegetation. I'd pick C, but I don't think there is a clear cut answer. Sometimes you get questions that you think the answer resides only in the head of the person writing the question. This is one of them.

Anna11 [10]

The chemical pathway is  2 ATP and 2 NADH. NAD⁺ is an electron carrier that accepts a pair of high energy electrons. NAD⁺ helps to pass energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell. Cellular respiration begins with a pathway called Glycolysis. Glycolysis releases only a small amount of energy.

Suppose there are two homologous chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromoso
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

Explanation:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

For example -

Suppose "X" is a mutant  allele and "x" is a mutant free allele.

Now when two homologous chromosomes contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromosome are crossed the following offspring are produced

X x

X XX Xx

x Xx xx

"xx" is a mutant free genotype.

Thus, crossing over can create a single mutation-free chromosome
