What is a metabolic pathway? see section 16.1 (page 337) . view available hint(s) what is a metabolic pathway? see section 16.1 (page 337) . a process that results in mutations in genes a series of steps that convert a precursor to arginine a series of steps only found in neurospora crassa a series of steps in which enzymes work one at a time to convert a compound to a related compound?

The answer is a ‘series of steps in which enzymes work one at a time to convert a compound to a related compound’. The intermediate products of metabolic pathways are called metabolites. An example of a metabolic cycle is the Glycolysis and Krebs cycles. The product in each step of the metabolic pathways becomes the substrate of the next step in the pathway. There are two types of metabolic pathways; anabolic and catabolic

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
