Both epinephrine and glucagon bind to G protein-coupled receptors and activate glycogen breakdown. Therefore, epinephrine and glucagon must:

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. have very similar structures and bind to the same receptor.

  2. bind to receptors with different ligand-binding sites but similar functions.

  3. bind to different receptors and activate different second messengers.

  4. bind to the same receptors, one being intracellular and the other, extracellular.

Correct statements about RAPD’s
A. RAPD polymorphism is detected by using oligonucleotides usually more than 10 bases long of random sequences as primers in a reaction.
B. In a strain which has in genomic DNA sequences complementary to the primer oligonucleotide, PCR products will be detected in the gel,
C. Typical RAPD markers show limited variation between parents, especially in naturally inbreeding species.
D. RAPDs are more sensitive than RFLPs to experimental conditions making them more difficult to be consistent and reproducible.

Statement: AFLP shares some features of both RFLP and RAPD analyses.
Explanations: I. It uses restriction enzyme-digested genomic DNA as template for PCR amplification using primers that contain the restriction enzyme recognition sites plus a number of, usually 2-3, arbitrary nucleotides.
II. AFLPs are faster, less labour intensive and provide more information than RFLPs, and they are highly reproducible, which is a great advantage over RAPDs.
