The Barton Springs salamander is an endangered species found only in a single spring in the city of Austin, Texas. There is growing concern that a chemical spill on a nearby freeway could pollute the spring and wipe out the species. To provide a source of salamanders to repopulate the spring in the event of such a catastrophe, a proposal has been made to establish a captive breeding population of the salamander in a local zoo. Suppose you are asked to provide a plan for establishing this captive breeding population, with the goal of maintaining as much of the genetic variation of the species as possible in the captive population. What factors are likely to lead to a loss of genetic variation in the captive population?

What Are the Basics of Biochemistry?

what is the occipital and temporal lobe located and responsible for? ​

Which five statements about hemoglobin and myoglobin structure are true? Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. Two of these bonds are formed between iron and oxygen. Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom. Each hemoglobin or myoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules. Molecular oxygen binds reversibly to Fe2+ in heme. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom. Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom.
