Following are a few statements regarding the structure of terpenes:

a) Isopentenyl diphosphate and Dimethyallyl diphosphate are combinely called monoterpene, respectively

b) Isopentenyl diphosphate and Farnesyl diphosphate are Sesquiterpenes and Tetraterpenes

c) Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes and Diterpenes have 10, 20  and 30 carbons, respectively

d) Grenyl grenyl diphosphate usually have 20 carbons compound by multiplying with  2X is known as testraterpenes

In this problem we will explore some of the many ways that mutations in two different genes can interact to produce different Mendelian ratios. Consider a hypothetical insect species that has red eyes. Imagine mutations in two different unlinked genes that can, in certain combinations, block the formation of red eye pigment yielding mutants with white eyes. In principle, there are two different possible arrangements for two biochemical steps responsible for the formation of red eye pigment. The two genes might act in series such that a mutation in either gene would block the formation of red pigment. Alternatively, the two genes could act in parallel such that mutations in both genes would be required to block the formation of red pigment.

Further complexity arises from the possibility that mutations in either gene that lead to a block in enzymatic activity could be either dominant or recessive. If the crosses is made between a wild type insect with red eyes and a true breeding white eyed strain with mutations in both genes. Such considerations yield the Pathways in series with a recessive mutation in one gene and a dominant mutation in the other, determine the phenotype of the F1 progeny and the expected phenotypic ratio of red to white eyed insects in the F2.

I. Adrenocortical secretion is controlled primarily by ACTH, from the anterior pituitary, but mineralocorticoid secretion is also subject to independent control by circulating factors.

II. Adrenal medullary hormones work mostly to prepare the body for emergencies, the so-called “fight-or-flight” responses.

III. All three cortical zones secrete corticosterone, but the active enzymatic mechanism for aldosterone biosynthesis is not limited to the zona glomerulosa.

IV. An important function of the zona glomerulosa, in addition to aldosterone synthesis, is the formation of new cortical cells.
