The best way to describe genetic diversity in humans is by describing it as a geographic component of ancestry. That is, human populations gradually change in their allele frequencies in many cases with high geographic precision. This actually makes any differentiation or split into groups very hard.

Is this statement true or false?

The following is a strand of eukaryotic cDNA

DNA: 5'- catgtctdacagctggccgcca- 3'

a) convert the dna above to its complementary DNA strand (must labe the 5' or 3' ends)

b) dna is converted to mrna is process is called____?

c) convert this dna (5'- catgtctdacagctggccgcca- 3') to its mrna message

d) provide the protein sequence for this dna (5'- catgtctdacagctggccgcca- 3'_

remember this is done in a standard eukaryotic cell.

What is the role of decarboxylation in fatty acid synthesis? Name another reaction in a different

metabolic pathway that employs this mechanistic motif.

I know the role is to drive the condensation reaction but I'm stuck on finding another example.
