Which of the following statements apply (applies) to the B oxidation of fatty acids?

1.  The process takes place in the cytosol of mammalian cells.

2.  Carbon atoms are removed from the acyl chain one at a time.

3.  Before oxidation, fatty acids must be converted to their CoA derivatives.

4.  NADP+ is the electron acceptor.

5.  The products of B oxidation can directly enter the citric acid cycle for further oxidation.

Multigene families include two or more nearly identical genes or genes sharing nearly identical sequences. A classical example is the set of genes for globin molecules, including genes on human chromosomes 11 and 16. How might identical and obviously duplicated gene sequences have gotten from one chromosome to another?

In comparing the genomes of humans and those of other higher primates, it is seen that humans have a large metacentric pair we call chromosome #2 among our 46 chromosomes, while the other primates of this group have 48 chromosomes and any pair like the human #2 pair is not present; instead the primate groups each have two pairs of midsize acrocentric chromosomes. What is the most likely explanation?

Unequal crossing over during Prophase I can result in one sister chromosome with a deletion and another with a duplication. A mutated form of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin Lepore, is known in the human population. Hemoglobin Lepore has a deleted set of amino acids. If it was caused by unequal crossing over, what would be an expected consequence?
