What amino acid can be obtained by the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

Answer:

Glutamic acid

Explanation:

Reductive amination is a form of amination that involves the conversion of a carbonyl group to an amine via an intermediate imine. The carbonyl group is most commonly a ketone or an aldehyde. In this reaction, in the presence of enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase, ammonium ion directly combines with alpha-ketoglutaric acid, to form glutamic acid (amino acid) and for this to happen, a reduced coenzyme (NADPH) is required.

The biosynthesis of glutamic acid  can be obtianed from the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

γ-Ketoglutaric acid is a common precursor in synthesis of glutamic acid. Addition of NADPH and ammonia or alpha amino acid with   γ-Ketoglutaric acid produces glutamic acid. Enzymes involved in this reduction amination  process are glutamate dehydrogenase and/or transaminase.

Oksanka [162]
Taphonomists would probably conclude that hominins had scavenged meat from an animal carcass, they did not kill if fossil animal bones; did not contain stone cut marks, which are easily distinguishable from tooth marks. 
Some characteristics that have distinguished hominins from other primates, living and extinct are their erect posture, bipedal locomotion, larger brains, and behavioral characteristics such as specialized tool use, and in some cases communication through language.<span />

Sweet yellow tomatoes with a pear shape bring a high price per basket to growers. Pear shape, yellow color, and terminal flower
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer and Explanation: The farmer has a pure-breeding line of tomato means the farmer has a tomato with genotype FFrrtt while the other line of tomato has genotype ffRRTT.

The cross between these lines gives a F1 generation of heterozygous full, red and axial or FfRrTt.

With an individual of F1 crosses with another individual of F1, the Punnet Square will be:

FfRrTt x FfRrTt

1) Dividing each characteristics, for simplicity:

          F         f

F       FF       Ff

f        Ff        ff

          R       r

R       RR     Rr

r        Rr      rr

         T      t

T       TT   Tt

t        Tt     tt

Analysing Punnett squares, we notice the line wanted (ffrrTT) will be produced, when an individual of F1 generation cross with another individual with the same generation.
