What is the primary role of lactic acid fermentation?

(Regenerate NAD+) To provide as source of NAD+ to be used for glycolysis

Two pure breeding plants are crossed. One has purple flowers and the other has white flowers. The first generation is composed of only purple flowers. When the first generation is self pollinated, there is a 3 to 1 ratio of purple to white flowers in the second generation. Two flowers in the second generation are crossed. Both are purple, but one is homozygous for the color and the other is heterozygous. What percentage of their offspring will be purple?

100% The genotypes for the two plants in question can be written as PP for the homozygous dominant plant, and Pp for the heterozygous plant. Remember that a white flower can only be created if it receives two recessive alleles, one from each parent. The homozygous dominant plant can only contribute a dominant allele, so every offspring will have a dominant allele. As a result, every flower will be purple when these two plants are crossed

Net gain of ATP after glycolysis

Birds of the same species were blown from the mainland to a nearby island in a storm. While living on the island, natural selection acts in favor of the birds with smaller beaks, as birds with large and medium sized beaks have a harder time gathering food. This process is an example of which of the following choices?

Directional selection. Occurs when nature favors one extreme.

A type of selection favors individuals with traits on either end of the phenotypic spectrum, such as moths with very light and very dark coloration. This is an example of _____ selection.

Disruptive selection (more disruptive with both extremes) Directional selection (only favors 1 extreme)

DNA exists in the form of __________ strands of DNA coiled about each other.

When sexual reproduction occurs in multicellular organisms, a process takes place before cells fuse whereby a cell is left with half of its chromosomes, enabling the creation of a cell with a charactteristic chromosome number. What is this process called?

favorable genetic trait can increase in frequency in a population?

Natural selection. Nature selects for the best adapted organism with the favored traits of the particular environment which helps the organism live and mate
