I think thats correct. Hope it helps! :)
Answer: X is propionyl-CoA, CH3CH2C0CoA
The structure and reaction pathway are shown in the attachments.
Explanation: In the oxidation of odd-number fatty acids, the substrate for the last pass through beta-oxidation is fatty acyl-CoA with a five-carbon fatty acid. This is oxidized and cleaved to acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle while the propionyl-CoA is converted in three enzymatic steps to succinyl-CoA which can then enter the citric acid cycle.
Step 1: Conversion of propionyl-CoA to D-methylmalonyl-CoA
Propionyl-CoA is carboxylated to D-methylmalonyl-CoA by the enzyme <em>propionyl-CoA carboxylase</em>, which contains the cofactor <em>biotin</em>. A molecule of ATP and Carbon (iv) oxide (in the form of hydrogen carbonate ion) is required also.
Step 2: Epimerization of D-methylmalonyl-CoA
D-methylmalonyl-CoA is epimerized by the enzyme <em>methylmalonyl-Co epimerase</em> to its L stereoisomer, <em>L-methylmalonyl-CoA.</em>
Step 3: Conversion of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA
This reaction is catalysed by <em>methylmalonyl-CoA mutase</em> which requires the <em>coenzyme B12.</em>

Answer:
b) Forming zygots
Explanation:
A zygote can be defined as a eukaryotic cell formed by the fusion of gametes during sexual reproduction. In general, a zygote is a diploid (2n) cell produced by the fusion of two haploid (n) gametic cells (eg., in mammals, sperm and egg cells). In multicellular organisms, the zygote is the first stage of development, which will give rise to an adult organism as it divides and grows. A zygote cell can be considered as a pluripotent stem cell because it differentiates into all cell types.
<span>All living organisms are divided in into prokaryotic (lacking a nucleus) and Eukaryotic cells - with a nucleus. Viruses form an exception because they are not exactly "living organisms" - they cannot live outside of their hosts (they have to live in another cell, so they are not a cell by themselves) - the answer is that they cannot live by themselves, only withing other cells (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) </span>
