Some statements with respect to the regeneration in hydra.

A. The major head inducer of the hypostome organizer is a set of Wnt proteins acting through the canonical B-catenin pathway.

B. The major head inducer of the hypostome organizer is a set of Wnt proteins acting through the noncanonical B-catenin pathway.

C. These Wnt proteins are seen in the apical end of the early bud, defining the hypostome region as the bud elongates

D. If the Wnt signaling inhibitor GSK3 is itself inhibited throughout the body axis, ectopic tentacles form at all levels, and each piece of the trunk has the ability to stimulate the outgrowth of new buds.

E. transgenic hydra made to globally misexpress the downstream Wnt effector ectopic tentacles form at all levels, and each piece of the trunk has the ability to stimulate the outgrowth of new buds.

Out of these which of the following is true regarding the propensity of α-helix.
a. any amino acid which can take up desirable ϕ and ψ angle close to -57 and -47 will favour the formation of a α-helix
b. amino acid such a proline and glycine have lowest propensity will favour formation of α-helix.
c. if the resultant change in the value ΔΔG0 is positive then it will favour the formation of α-helix.
d. if the resultant change in the value ΔΔG0 is zero or close to zero then it will favour the formation of α-helix.
