When the environment deteriorates, sex occurs. Sexually produced offspring remain dormant until better conditions occur. Which of the theoretical ideas about the function of sex is […]

Gregor Mendel studied traits with only 2 alleles, such as yellow or green seeds. There are traits which have multiple alleles, such as a person’s blood type which has A, B, and O alleles. To demonstrate your understanding of multiple alleles, address the following.2. Using Mendelian inheritance, describe the offspring […]

Q1. How does glutamic acid provide a source of carbon for gluconeogenesis? Note down the pathway involved showing each intermediate until the carbon atoms enter the gluconeogenesis pathway. No structures needed but show all the substrates involved in each reaction and the name of the enzyme. Q2. Define with specific […]

Big fish swim substantially faster than small fish and big birds fly faster than small ones. The speeds of running mammals, however, vary a lot less with body size, although big ones do go somewhat faster. Assume that the energetic cost of transport (cost per distance) varies with (body mass)0.68 and […]
