Answer:
The cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.
Explanation:
- Fatty acyl group condensed with CoA in the cytosol are first transferred to carnitine and in this process, CoA is released.
- After this, it is transported into the mitochondrion, where it is again condensed with CoA.
- In this way, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are kept separate, and due to this reason, no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.
- Therefore, according to the given question, the C14 CoA that is added into the liver homogenate along with palmitate shows cytosolic radioactive fraction but not mitochondrial as in the mitochondria a different CoA joins palmitate and not the one containing C14.
Polygenic traits are those traits that are controlled by more than one gene. Such traits may even be controlled by genes located on entirely different chromosomes. Human height, eye and hair color are examples of polygenic traits. Skin color is another polygenic trait for humans and a variety of other animals.
