Answer:

Cross a non-floppy-eared male to a floppy-eared female and observe if males offspring have the floppy ear trait

Explanation:

Mammals (e.g. dogs) have two sex chromosomes: X and Y. In the XY sex-determination system, the female gamete (i.e., the ovum) contributes to an X chromosome, while the male gamete (i.e., the sperm) contributes either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome: normal females are XX and normal males are XY. In consequence, a male always inherits its X chromosome from the mother and its Y chromosome from the father. In this case, the presence of the floppy ear trait in all males F1 offspring obtained by crossing a non-floppy-eared male to a floppy-eared female indicates that this trait is linked to the X chromosome because males inherit the floppy ear trait from the mother.

The advantage of the pentose phosphate pathway is that it produces all of the following except:
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. three ATPs

Explanation:

Pentose phosphate is also known as hexose monophosphate shunt and this pathway is the alternative pathway through which glucose is oxidized.  

Pentose phosphate pathways are used to produce many intermediated that contains 4 and 5 carbon sugars which are then used as the precursor for synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids.  It also provides precursors for the synthesis of glucose.

NADPH is also produced in this pathway which is used for the reduction of molecules by providing a source of electrons. No ATP generation takes place during the pentose phosphate pathway.

So all the statements are true except a. three ATPs.
