4. rat liver is able to metabolize glucose by both the glycolytic and the pentose phosphate pathway. which of the following are properties of both the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway? a. nad+ is involved b. co2 is liberated c. phosphate esters are intermediates d. glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is an intermediate e. fructose 6-phosphate is an intermediate4. rat liver is able to metabolize glucose by both the glycolytic and the pentose phosphate pathway. which of the following are properties of both the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway? a. nad+ is involved b. co2 is liberated c. phosphate esters are intermediates d. glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is an intermediate e. fructose 6-phosphate is an intermediate

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.

Gregor mendel is best known for his work with pea plants and for uncover many of the mysteries of genetics. one of his major findings stated that there were specific, physical units of inheritance that are transmitted during reproduction. what is the the name given to these units of inheritance which can be found on chromosomes? a) centromeres b) cytoplasm c) genes d) nucleotides
