Plant cells have several internal compartments, each of which can differ in its ionic composition. The cytosol and the vacuole are the most important intracellular compartments that determine the ionic relations of plant cells, Ion concentrations in the cytosol and the vacuole are controlled by passive (dashed arrows) and active (solid arrows) transport processes
  

Which of the following statement INCORRECT from the above figure;

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Potassium is accumulated passively by both the cytosol and the vacuole, except when extracellular K+ concentrations are very low, in which case it is taken up actively
  2. All the anions are taken up actively into the cytosol.
  3. Calcium is actively transported out of the cytosol at both the cell membrane and the vacuolar membrane, which is called the tonoplast
  4. Sodium is pumped passively out of the cytosol into the extracellular spaces and vacuolar membrane

Which of the following statements is an example of genetic drift?

a. Allele g for fat production increases in a small population because birds with more body fat have higher survivorship in a harsh winter.

b. Random mutation increases the frequency of allele A in one population but not in another.

c. Allele R reaches a frequency of 1.0 because individuals with genotype rr are sterile.

d. Allele m is lost when a virus kills all but a few individuals and just by chance none of the survivors possess allele m

The Galapagos finches were an important clue to Darwin's thinking about the origin of species. These finches are believed to have descended from a single ancestral species that colonized the Galapagos archipelago, America, over a short period of time. The Galapagos finches differ in their beak shape and size. Different species feed on seeds that vary in size and hardness. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for these patterns?
