Tadpoles must undergo a major metamorphosis to become frogs. This change includes reabsorption of the tail, growth of limbs, calcification of the skeleton, increase in rhodopsin in the eye, development of lungs, change in hemoglobin structure, and reformation of the gut from the long gut of an herbivore to the short gut of a carnivore. Amazingly, all of these changes are induced by thyroxine. What is the most likely explanation for such a wide array of effects of thyroxine?

 If all the ATP are radiolabelled in the cytosol, then predict about radioactivity of each compound.

 a) All enzyme  of glycolysis will be radiolabelled except 2-phophoglycerate and phosphenol pyruvate

 b) 2-phophoglycerate and phosphenol pyruvate are radiolabelled only the next cycle of glycolysis after cytosolic ATP radiolabelling

 c) 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate will be radiolabelled at 1 and 3 both position

 d) 2-phosphoglycerate are not radiolabelled because its enzyme phosphoglycerate mutase active site contain histidine residue exchange phosphate group from 3-phosphoglycerate

 which prediction about radiolabelling is incorrect?
