There are the five groups of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins found in plants

Match the following groups of LEA protein with its functional information;

 Group (family name)

                           Functional information

 

I) Group 1

   (D-19 family)

 

 

a) It is an abundant protein in cotton embryos, Each putative dimer of this group may bind as many as ten inorganic phosphates and their counterions

 

 

II) Group 2

    (D-11 family)

 

b) Possibly functions in ion sequestration to protect cytosolic metabolism When LE25 is expressed in yeast, it confers salt and freezing tolerance

 

 

III) Group 3

     (D-7 family)

 

c) In tomato, a gene encoding a similar protein is expressed in response to nematode feeding

 

 

IV) Group 4

    (D-95 family)

 

d) Contains more water of hydration than typical globular proteins Overexpression confers water deficit tolerance on yeast cells

 

 

V) Group 5

    (D-113 family)

 

e) Often localized to the cytoplasm or nucleus More acidic members of the family are associated with the plasma membrane May act to stabilize macromolecules at low water potential

In drosophila, Physical forces drive invagination of the ventral furrow. Following statements regarding to this process:

A. The cellularized blastoderm will begin to activate higher levels of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline and preferentially at their apical surface.

B. Epithelial adhesions paired with differential activation of dynein and tissue geometry create mechanical constraints that affect the orientation of actomyosin meshworks.

C. The A/P oriented arrays of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline generate tension along the anterior-posterior axis.

D. The combination of tissue geometry and tension of these anterior-to-posterior meshworks cause the tissue to fold outward at a right angle to the anterior-posterior axis, creating a long and narrow ventral furrow.

Which of the following statements are incorrect?

A preterm infant has a surfactant deficiency. Without surfactant, many of the alveoli collapse at the end of each expiration, which in turn leads to pulmonary failure. Which of the following sets of changes are present in the preterm infant, compared to a normal infant?
