The relationship between shortened telomeres and stem cell depletion has been seen in degenerative diseases such as mouse muscular dystrophy,

I) When____ is activated by damaged telomeres, DNA replication halts, and if the repair doesn’t work, apoptosis is initiated. If the cell is a stem cell or some other rapidly replicating cell, this will reduce the numbers of cells produced, and the lack of stem cells will produce an “aged” phenotype.

 II) When ____ is activated by damaged telomeres, DNA replication halts, repair do its work, apoptosis is inhibited. If the cell is a stem cell or some other rapidly replicating cell, this will increase the numbers of cells produced, and then these cells will produce an “aged” phenotype.

Following statements are related to slow block to polyspermy in mammals.

A. A First slow block to polyspermy comes When the cortical granules fuse with the egg cell membrane, they release protein-digesting enzymes which is called as ovastacin that modify the zona pellucida proteins.

B. A second slow block to polyspermy comes from the so-called zinc spark, the release of billions of zinc ions that is induced by the entry of the first sperm, these released zinc ions are seen to bind to the egg cell membrane form a “zinc shield” that prevents further sperm entry.

C. A third slow block to polyspermy occurs at the level of the egg cell membrane and involves Juno.

 Genes that control coat color in mammals represent some of the best early examples of genes with multiple alleles exhibiting different phenotypes. A classic example is the C gene in hamsters. Three of the known alleles of this gene are C, c^a and c^k. Each supplies a different amount of black pigment to the coat hair. The phenotypes of three different homozygous strains are as follows.

would mate the true-breeding  c^a c^a  hamsters to the true-breeding c^k c^k  hamsters to produce heterozygous  c^a and c^k  F1 progeny,  the F1 progeny cack  hamsters self fertilized, From the fraction of F2 progeny that have the wild type black phenotype,
