A mutation in the HBB gene can cause the formation of haemoglobin S (HbS) which leads to sickle cell disease. So, in this case the mutation is harmful. On the other hand, people who are heterozygous for the mutant allele are resistant to malaria and in this case mutation is beneficial.

A mutation in EYC3 gene is neutral, because the change of eye color is either beneficial or harmful.

A mutation in CFTR gene is harmful, because malformed CFTR protein can't perform its key function in the cell. As a result, the balance of Cl and fluids is disrupted, causing mucus in various organs to become thick and sticky.

A mutation in LRP5 causes high bone mass and consequently, many bone density related diseases. So, this mutation is harmful.

For each molecule of glucose that is processed by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, what is the total number of nadh fadh2 m
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

12 is the total number of NADH FADH2 molecules that will be produced.

In each citric acid cycle, one molecule of FADH2 is formed during the conversion of succinic acid to fumaric.

The CAC is called a cycle because the starting molecule, oxaloacetate is regenerated at the end of the cycle.

It is also known as Krebs cycle. This is actually a part of a huge process called cellular respiration. The citric acid cycle captures the energy stored in the chemical bonds of acetyl CoA (processed glucose) in a step-by-step process, trapping it in the form of high-energy intermediate molecules.

NADH:- It is an energy shuttle that delivers high energy electrons to the electron transport chain where they eventually get to power the production of 2 to 3 ATP molecules.

FADH:- This is another energy shuttle that carries high energy electrons to the electron transport chain, where they will ultimately drive production of 1 to 2 ATP molecules.

Which statement describes asexual reproduction, but not sexual reproduction?

Therefore the child and the parent organism will contain exactly the same genetic material
