Question
Chapter 16, Problem 5CONQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The process of methylation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and the effect of formation of DNA loop in controlling the expression of Igf2 gene. The imprinting of this gene such that, only the paternal copy expresses in the offspring.
Introduction:
Epigenetic mechanism helps control the expression of genes. The epigeneticeffect can be seen through histone modifications and DNA methylation. This changes the functions of DNA and modifies gene functions.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
