Question
Chapter 22, Problem 7P
Summary Introduction
a.
To determine:
The traits that have the greatest and the lowest heritability.
Introduction:
Phenotypic traits are passed on from one generation to the next through genes. Events such as crossing over and mutations are responsible for bringing change in the genes and thus change in the phenotypic characters.
Summary Introduction
b.
To determine:
The relative matching of the given statistics with the estimation of relative heritabilities done in part (a).
Introduction:
The genes present in an organism determines the phenotypic traits of an individual. Along with the genetic factors, environmental factors also play a role to some extent in determining the physical characteristics of an individual.

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?
