The correct answer is the last statement.
If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.
It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.
In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
Answer:
The answer is letter D.
Explanation:
The allele frequencies of the dominant population is: p = 0.967
And the recessive population is: q= 0.033.
I will be submitting this in a couple minutes and I will let you know what the correct answer was.
An organism that makes its own food.
Example- plants.
The first organism in a food chain is always a plant.
