Gene locus A is 12mu from gene locus X35 and 24mu from gene locus p2. Therefore, you can be confident that gene locus X35 is abo

Answer:

1.  Mutation- enhances genetic variation

2. Selection- may raise, lower, or maintain genetic variation

3. Genetic drift- diminishes genetic variation.

4. Gene flow- could either enhance or reduce genetic variation

Explanation:

1. Mutation denotes changes in an organism's DNA. The mutations lead to new adaptive traits that evolve, which increases the genetic diversity of organisms.

2. Natural selection favors organisms best suited to their environment. Thus, selection can increase, decrease, or keep variation in a population steady.

3. Genetic drift occurs due to random events altering a population's gene pool. When this phenomenon transpires, the genetic variation within that population typically decreases.

4. Gene flow involves changes to the gene pool due to immigration and emigration. This factor can thus increase or decrease genetic variation.

Response:

Pyruvate

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway in which glucose is converted to pyruvate.

The process involves ten enzyme-mediated steps, yielding two molecules of pyruvate from one glucose molecule.

Step 1: Phosphorylation of glucose results in glucose-6-phosphate

Step 2: Glucose-6-phosphate transforms into fructose-6-phosphate

Step 3: Fructose-6-phosphate is further phosphorylated to yield fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

Step 4: This intermediate is then cleaved into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate

Step 5: One molecule of dihydroxyacetone phosphate is converted into another glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

Step 6: Two glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules are modified to produce two 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate molecules

Step 7: Conversion of these to 3-phosphoglycerate occurs next

Step 8: This is followed by conversion to two molecules of 2-phosphoglycerate

Step 9: Following this, they are converted into two phosphoenolpyruvate molecules

Step 10: Finally, two of these are converted into pyruvate, the glycolysis product.

Thus, the presence of pyruvate in red blood cells can indicate their capacity to undergo glycolysis

A goldfish's genome comprises 96 chromosomes. As a result, each daughter cell will also have 96 chromosomes following the completion of mitosis in a goldfish cell.
