Mitochondria are the energy centers of the eukaryotic cells. In these organelles, ATP (the energy coin of the cell) is produced by the oxidation of pyruvate (Krebs cycle) and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Based on this information, malfunction in MITOCHONDRIA is most likely responsible for Leigh's disease.

  • Cellular respiration is series of metabolic reactions by which eukaryotic cells produce energy in the form of ATP from foods and oxygen.

  • Cellular respiration has three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, whereas the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria.

If present, the ________________ allele will always be expressed as the phenotype.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Dominant

Explanation:

The dominant allele will always be shown in the phenotype if it's present, because the other allele would be dominant or recessive. If both alleles are dominant, then the dominant one shows, if one of the alleles is recessive, then the dominant allele would show over the recessive one.

I think of recessive alleles as "weak" where, they just follow behind whichever other allele exists there. If the other one is dominant, then the recessive one is behind it, and no one can see it. If it other allele is recessive, a recessive allele will be in front.
