A young man is found comatose, having taking an unknown number of sleeping pills an unknown time before. An arterial blood sample yields the following values: pH = 7.02, HCO3− = 14 mEq/L, and PCO2 = 68 mm Hg. This patient’s acid–base status is most accurately described as

You are studying regulation of the yeast enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS), which is encoded by the GLN1 gene. You have isolated two mutants, designated gln2– and gln3–, that give decreased GS activity. Mating of either gln2– or gln3– haploids to wild type produces heterozygous diploids that show normal amounts of GS expression. When you cross either a gln2– or gln3– haploid to a gln1– strain the resulting diploids show normal expression of GS.              

From these experiments,  Classify  the  gln2– and gln3– mutations in terms of their basic genetic properties explaining the rationale behind your conclusions. Based on these properties make a proposal for the types of regulatory functions affected by the gln2– and gln3– mutations.

Plants, in turn, evolved a second line of defense that recognize these intracellular effectors and trigger defense responses to render them harmless. As a result, plants possess a second type of immunity called,
