The laws of heredity discovered by G. Mendel are similar for all complex life creatures and he concluded that genes come in pairs one from each parent inherited as distinct units. Also, the mathematical patterns of inheritance as well as genes segregation and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits were determined during his genetic experiments with pea plants and outlined three laws oh inheritance. First, the Law of Dominance is expressed where one allele dominates over recessive one. For instance, during the experiment with the pea plants, the parents were both homozygous (with identical forms of alleles YY and gg. In the F1-generation the plants were heterozygous (Yg), however with all seven pea plant traits, …show more content…
It has been deduced that allowing hybrid pea to self-pollinate would result in progeny, which looked different from the parent plant. Mendel noticed that crossing the peas with more than one trait (dihybrid cross), the progeny did not always match the parent, this way resulted in the third law stating that different pairs of alleles are inherited by offspring independently from each other. In other words, new combinations of genes are possible even if these are present in neither parent. During cross-bred of pea plants with round, yellow seeds and plants with wrinkled, green seeds in F1-generation appeared only the dominant traits, however in the self-pollinated F2-generation were seen all combinations of the trait in a 9:3:3:1 …show more content…

Glycolysis is undergone by anaerobic and aerobic organisms as both require glucose break down to produce energy.
During Glycolysis, molecules of glucose split into two pyruvates following a sequence of enzyme-influenced reactions. Whilst phosphorylation, glucose converts into glucose 6-phosphate utilising energy and phosphate group from ATP in the presence of hexokinase or glucokinase and Mg2+, as a result, this converts to fructose-6-phosphate controlled by phosphohexose isomerase. Fructose-6-phosphate can also be harvested by fructose phosphorylation with the assistance of fructokinase enzyme. Furthermore, fructose-6-phosphate is phosphorylated by ATP under phosphofructokinase and Mg2+, as a consequence producing fructose-1,6-diphosphate, which further splits up enzymatically to form one molecule each of 3-carbon compounds, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP or PGAL) and dihydroxyacetone 3-phosphate, which in turn changes to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by enzyme triose phosphate isomerase. During hydrolysis, glycerate 1,3-diphoshate are dephosphorylated to form glycerate3-phosphate and the energy released and the phosphate group that splits out are utilized to produce ATP from ADP. Each glycerate 3-phosphate molecule
