In certain motile prokaryotes, dozens of different proteins comprise the motor that powers the prokaryotic flagellum. The motor has a complicated structure, and its various proteins interact to carry out its function. Based on Darwinʹs explanation for the existence of human eyes, how would he probably have explained the existence of such motors?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. Because he could not have explained their existence, he would have used supernatural agents as a temporary explanation until the gap in scientific knowledge had been filled.

  2. Because he could not have explained their existence, he would have concluded that the human brain has not (and probably cannot) evolve the capability to solve such complex problems.

  3. He would have proposed that these motors were the products of aliens, and had been delivered to Earth by extraterrestrial visitors.

  4. He would have proposed that less complicated, but still functional, versions (maybe even with a different function) had existed in ancestral prokaryotes.

The mitotic exit network that localizes to spindle pole bodies and whose activity is regulated by spindle position belongs to the family of signaling pathways known as the Hippo pathway in metazoans. Following statements are-

A. The conserved core of the Hippo signaling pathways consists of the Hippo protein kinase, which activates the Lats-Mob1 kinase.

B. The kinases are organized by a scaffolding molecule that, at least in budding and fission yeasts, targets the kinase cascade to centrosomes.

C. As in many kinase signaling cascades, a GTPase controls the activity of the mitotic exit network and the septation initiation network.

D. In metazoans, activation of the Hippo pathway leads to tissue overgrowth because the transcriptional activator TAZ (known as YAP in the mouse) constitutively promotes the expression of growth- and proliferation-promoting genes.
