Hexokinase is the first enzyme in the famous biochemical pathway called glycolysis. There is an imaginary strain of E. coli (strain XYZ) that must be grown in minimal media and maintained in an exponential phase of growth. During exponential growth, rapid cell division occurs and requires the production of large amounts of ATP. Once it reaches the stationary phase where cell division equals cell death, the end-product of glycolysis (pyruvate) builds up in the cytoplasm resulting in cell death due to osmotic imbalance. Propose a theory to explain this observation.

What is the difference between sex-linked traits and autosomal traits in humans? a. sex-linked traits can only be passed from fathers to sons, while autosomal traits can be passed on from both parents to offspring of any sex. b. sex-linked traits are passed on through the x and y chromosomes, while autosomal traits are passed on through the other 22 chromosomes. c. sex-linked traits only affect females, while autosomal traits affect both males and females. d. sex-linked traits refer to genes that are on the x and y chromosomes, while autosomal traits refer to genes on all 23 chromosomes.
