For two species A and B in competition, the carrying capacities, competition coefficients, per capita growth rate and population size are

KA = 1000           KB = 1200    α of B= 1     β of A= .5       rB= .5         r A= .3                

AN= 500                  BN= 200

According to the Lotka-Voltera model, what is growth rate of species A?

In theory, auxin could increase the rate of proton extrusion by some possible mechanisms such as:

a) Activation of pre-existing plasma membrane H+- ATPases

b) Synthesis of new H+-ATPases on the plasma membrane

c) Auxin-Induced Proton Extrusion May Involve Both Activation and Synthesis

Some given statements about Auxin signalling pathways are listed;

a) The auxin receptor is composed of two proteins: the SCF complex component TIR1 and the repressor protein AUX/IAA

b) The binding of auxin to its receptor complex initiates ubiquitin-dependent degradation of the AUX/ IAA repressor protein by the 26S proteasome 

c) TIR1 recruits AUX/ IAA proteins to the SCFTIR1  complex in an auxin-independent manner

d) AUX/IAA proteins are ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase activity of the SCFTIR1 complex, which marks the protein for destruction by the 26S proteasome

ARF dependent signalling are regulated by auxin concenteration, given some condition followed;

I) In the absence of auxin

 II) In the presence of auxin

Find the statements that are correctly matched with given certain condition,

a)  AUX/IAA repressor proteins containing interaction domains similar to those found in the ARFs form heterodimers with the ARFs and thus repress transcriptional activation

b)  AUX/IAA repressors are recruited to the TIR1/AFB receptor complex and are tagged with ubiquitin for degradation by the 26S proteasome

c) ARFs form homodimers via conserved interaction domains and recruit chromatin remodelling
