The enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, or rubisco, fixes carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is incorporated into a five‑carbon compound, which is then hydrolyzed to yield two three‑carbon compounds. Arrange the steps of the rubisco carboxylation reaction in order, beginning with the substrate.

1. Rubisco removes a proton from C3 of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate
2. Substrate
3. Water attacks C3 of the six-carbon beta-keto acid, hydrating it
4. An enediolate intermediate nucleophilically attacks CO2, incorporating it at C2
5. Product
6. The six-carbon molecule splits, yielding two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules

In a relatively small iguana population the allelic frequency is tracked for three generations. webbing is a recessive allele; no webbing is the dominant allele. during one very rainy spring and summer, a flood washes all the iguana without webbed feet out to sea. by the fall, and three generations later, you have the gene pool seen here.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

The image below shows a common blood pressure gauge. what does this device do? a. measures the level of oxygen present in the blood b. measures the pressure of blood when the lungs expand and compress c. measures the electrical activity of the heart d. measures the pressure of blood when the heart contracts and relaxes
