Answer:
The correct answer is option b. "the citric acid cycle".
Explanation:
The citric acid cycle is one of the most important pathways of the cellular metabolism because of its role in energy production and biosynthesis. The citric acid cycle is where most of the CO2 from catabolism is released. This happens by the release of two molecules of CO2 per turn in the cycle, using the two atoms of carbon from acetyl CoA.
The surface area to volume ratio of the cell decreases.
This decrease is due to the fact that the volume of the cell increases at a greater rate than the surface surrounding the cell, the cell membrane, increases. This change is also visible when we are blowing up a balloon.
When considering the cell division, the ratio remains roughly the same. It is advantageous for the cell to preserve its surface area to volume ratio, since a higher ratio means that substances are able to diffuse into and out of the cell at a fairly higher rate.
The right answer is 2 divisions.
Meiosis follows the replication of DNA from a reproductive cell (male or female). It allows the passage of a so-called diploid mother cell to 2n chromosome homologous chromosomes to 4 single-chromosome haploid daughter cells. For that it must pass by two successive divisions, the first division is reductionelle generating two diploid cells with n chromosomes. the second division is equational giving 4 haploid cells to n chromosomes from the two preceding cells.
Many disorders can be heritable through the generation. Knowing the patterns of disorder heredity, either it is dominant or recessive, autosomal or sex-linked is a great advantage in making a diagnose. It should be taken into consideration that some diseases can be influenced by environmental factors. For example, a person knows its parents had high blood pressure. That person has a predisposition for high blood pressure too. But, since heredity and family medical history is known, that person can prevent the appearance of the disease by taking care of its condition, performing physical activities, avoiding smoking, fat diet, etc.
