#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Only three VPCs influenced by the anchor cell form an equivalence group
  2. Three, out of six, hypodermal cells participate in vulva formation
  3.  six VPCs influenced by the anchor cell form an equivalence group
  4. Each member of equivalence group is competent to become induced by the anchor cell

manganese (Mn) is an essential cofactor in the water-oxidizing process, and a classic hypothesis in photosynthesis research postulates that Mn ions undergo a series of oxidations—known as S states, This hypothesis has received strong support from a variety of experiments, which of the following techniques detect the manganese ions directly and Analytical experiments indicate that how much Mn ions are associated with each oxygen-evolving complex?

 Following statements are regarding to the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.

A. Many RTKs and cytokine receptors can initiate the IP3/ DAG signaling pathway by activating phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ), a different PLC isoform.

B. Activated RTKs and cytokine receptors also can initiate another phosphoinositide pathway by binding a PI-3 kinase, thereby allowing the enzyme access to its membrane-bound phosphoinositide substrates, which then become phosphorylated at the 3 position.

C. Protein kinase B (PKB) becomes partially activated by binding to PI 3-phosphates with its PH domain.

D. Full activation of PKB requires phosphorylation by the kinase PDK1, which is also recruited to the membrane by binding to PI 3-kinase, and by a second kinase, PDK2.

Both males and females of a fish species show variation in colour. A population of this species consists of 40% blue females, 20% red females, 20% blue males and 20% red males. A researcher catches one fish at random from this population. Given that a male fish is caught, the   probability that it is blue is (Use decimal notation, not fractions or percentage)
