METABOLISM OF FATS AND PROTEINS
abidaALTERNATIVE FOOD MOLECULES The catabolism of glucose is the most common metabolic pathway in cells. But animals also consume fats and proteins. These may be used to harvest energy. Fats…
THE ENERGY SCORE FOR AEROBIC RESPIRATION
A BALANCE SHEET T eukaryotic cell obtains a net gain of 36 ATP molecules from the breakdown of ach glucose molecule. 1. GI colysis: Glycolysis produces four ATP molecules. But…
AEROBIC RESPIRATION: THE MAJOR SOURCE OF ATP
The glycolysis and fermentation are inefficient processes. Thus the end product of glycolysis (pyruvate) still contains large amount of energy. This energy can be released by further oxidation. Free oxygen…

DETECTION OF LINKAGE
There are different methods to detect linkages among genes. Some of these are: Detection of linkage by PD/NPD ratio The Parental generation (PD) to non-parental generation ratio gives indication about…
Construction of Linkage Maps
A linkage map is a chromosome map of a species that shows the position of its known genes or markers relative to each other, rather than as specific physical points…
