Although the glyoxylate cycle is not present in animals, many plants and microorganisms use this modified form of the citric acid cycle. The glyoxylate cycle is beneficial in that: a. is an alternative pathway for the generation of electron carriers in the absence of oxygen.
b. it enables these organisms to grow on acetate.
c. provides a source of glyoxylate, which is an essential biosynthetic intermediate in these organisms.
d. does not release CO2 which is toxic to these organisms.

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43
