In drosophila, Head formation required higher Bicoid concentrations than thorax formation, because

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The promoters of such head specific genes would have high-affinity binding sites for Bicoid protein, causing them to be activated only at extremely high concentrations of Bicoid.
  2. The promoters of such head specific genes would have low-affinity binding sites for Bicoid protein, causing them to be activated only at extremely high concentrations of Bicoid.
  3. The promoters of such head specific genes would have high- affinity binding sites for bicoid protein, causing them to be activated only at extremely low concentratrations of bicoid.
  4. The promoters of such head specific genes would have low-affinity binding sites for Bicoid protein, causing them to be activated only at extremely low concentrations of Bicoid.

The large amounts of energy absorbed by the pigments if this energy cannot be stored by photochemistry, this is why a protection mechanism is needed Protection against photodamage is a multilevel process what role does the first line of defense play to suppress from damage?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Protection against photodamage is a multilevel process, excited state of chlorophyll is not rapidly quenched by photochemistry it can react with molecular oxygen to form toxic photoproducts such as as singlet oxygen (1 O2*) what can damage if this second line of defense also fails to eliminate the reactive photoproducts?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Some xanthophylls also participate in energy dissipation such as in light conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin with antheraxanthin as the intermediate and vice-versa, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

a.) The conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of co-factor Ascorbate and violaxanthin de-epoxidase under high PPFD

b.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin with the help of NADPH and oxygen under low PPFD

c.) Conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of NADPH and water under low PPFD

d.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin in presence of enzyme known as violaxanthin de-epoxidase and co-factor Ascorbate under high PPFD
