A given enzyme consists of two subunits (a dimer), which are specified by a single gene locus.
i.If a = normal subunit and a’ = mutated subunit, what subunit combinations might be found in a heterozygote, assuming random association between these subunits?
ii.If the mutation resulted in a net change in the charge of the molecule, how many bands would be detecta

Recall that the normal range for the hematocrit for a female is 37 - 47%, and the normal range for the hemoglobin level for a female is 12 - 16 g/100 ml. Describe hemoglobin and hematocrit values for the female with iron-deficiency anemia.
The hemoglobin was normal, and the hematocrit was below normal. They were both normal. They were both below normal.

In 1884, Hans Christian Gram described a method of staining bacterial cells while not staining surrounding animal tissues. However, he thought that the staining method he developed was faulty because not all bacteria stained. In a letter to the editor of the journal in which Gram published his findings, write your response to Gram's concern.

In 1835 Bassi showed that a fungus caused a silkworm disease, and in 1865 Pasteur discovered that a protozoan caused another silkworm disease. Why do we use Koch's postulates instead of "Bassi's" or "Pasteur's" postulates?

Why does the atrium not experience large changes in pressure?
The hearts of mammals and birds have four chambers consisting of two pairs – a left ventricle and atrium and a right ventricle and atrium. In both cases the atrium collects blood entering the heart and then transfers it to the ventricle. The force moving blood from atrium to ventricle is largely generated by th

Summarize the ATP yield during aerobic oxidation of glucose for aerobic bacterium.
I'm not sure how many of each structure are in each process, try to figure out what goes in each box, hopefully I will be able to look at the table and figure out the steps in each cycle. I tried filling out a few boxes although I'm not sure they are completely correct.
Table below is intended as a means of summarizing the ATP yield during the aerobic oxidation
