Answer:

Since albinism is an autosomal recessive trait, it means that both parents must possess the gene for it, for the albinism to occur.

Thus, David could be the father if both Rose and David are carriers(heterozygotes) for the albino allele.

The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, a very different mechanism than the one
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The correct statements are a, b and d. The incorrect statements are c and e.

Explanation:

Substrate level phosphorylation signifies the generation of ATP from ADP and a phosphorylated intermediate. On the other hand, in oxidative phosphorylation, the formation of ATP takes place from ADP and Pi, that is, an inorganic phosphate.  

In substrate-level phosphorylation an enzyme is needed for the reaction to take place. In the process, a dissociation of bond takes place between an organic molecule and a phosphate prior to the formation of ATP. In this, one of the substrates is a molecule obtained from the dissociation of glucose.  

In substrate-level phosphorylation, the enzyme taking part in the synthesis of ATP is not required to get attached to the membrane to generate ATP. The phosphate group, which is added to ADP to produce ATP does not come from free inorganic phosphate ions.

Explanation:

  • Dinoflagellate, are one-celled aquatic organisms having two dissimilar flagella.
  • It has a characteristics of both plants and animals.
  • Most of the dinoflagellates are marine, but some live in freshwater habitats.
  • Bahia fosforescente is one of the phosphorescent bays where millions of glowing marine dwellers such as dinoflagellates cause the lake to glow a bright blue in night.
  • Dinoflagellates has the characteristics of Bioluminescence which they use it as a defense mechanism.
  • During night, due to the bioluminescence of dinoflagellates,water can have an appearance of sparkling light.
  • Dinoflagellates takes their nutrients from marine organisms, thus they grow or develop well in bahia fosforescente.
