COLUMN II |
|
A) Physical sensing
|
i) usually results from the
detection of by-products that accumulate in cells due to the uncoupling of
enzymatic or electron transfer reactions, such as the accumulation of ROS
during stress caused by too much light.
|
|
B) Biophysical sensing
|
ii) often involves the presence of
specialized proteins that have evolved to sense a particular stress; for
example, calcium channels that can sense changes in temperature and alter
Ca2+ homeostasis.
|
|
C) Metabolic sensing
|
iii) refers to modifications of
DNA or RNA structure that do not alter genetic sequences, such as the changes
in chromatin that occur during temperature stress.
|
|
D) Biochemical sensing
|
iv) refers to the mechanical
effects of stress on the plant or cell structure, for example, the
contraction of the plasma membrane from the cell wall during drought stress.
|
|
E) Epigenetic sensing
|
v) might involve changes in
protein structure or enzymatic activity, such as the inhibition of different
enzymes during heat stress.

Two varieties of maize averaging 50 and 20 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 35 inches in height. Out Of the 16 F2 plants, the 5 are 35 inches. What is the probable number of independent segregating polygenes involved in this trait?

The phosphate transport system in bacteria imports phosphate into the cell even when the concentration of phosphate outside the cell is much lower than the cytoplasmic phosphate concentration. Phosphate import depends on a pH gradient across the membrane—more acidic outside the cell than inside the cell. In this bacterial cell, phosphate transport is an example of:
