The temperature of the body is regulated almost entirely by nervous feedback mechanisms, and almost all these mechanisms operate through temperature regulating centers located in the hypothalamus. Following statements are as follows:

A. The anterior hypothalamic-preoptic area contains large numbers of heat-sensitive neurons, as well as about one third as many cold-sensitive neurons. These neurons are believed to function as temperature sensors for controlling body temperature.

B. The heat-sensitive neurons increase their firing rate 2- to 10-fold in response to a 10°C increase in body temperature. 

C. The cold-sensitive neurons, by contrast, increase their firing rate when the body temperature increases.

D. Anterior hypothalamus integrates the central and peripheral temperature sensory signals.

Which of the following combination is correct?

DNA from a strain of Bacillus subtilis with genotype a+b+ c+d+ e+ is used to transform a strain with genotype a - b- c- d-   e-. Pairs of genes are checked for co-transformation and the following results are obtained:

Pair of co-transform genes as follow

D-E,             E-C,                C-B,                  A-D

On the basis of these results, what is the order of the genes on the bacterial chromosome?

Conjugation allowed between Hfr with genotype A B C D E and F- with genotype a b c d e. At regular intervals, a sample of cells was removed and agitated

vigorously in a kitchen blender to halt all conjugation and DNA transfer. After interrupted conjugation, ex-conjugate were selected on minimal media at regular interval and find different number of ex-conjugate?

abCde   - 10, abCdE    -    30 ,  aBCdE  -     40 , ABCdE  -     20 , ABCDE   -   50

What is gene order of those genes?

In the mating Hfr Strs met+ his+ leu+ trp+ Ala+   X F- Strres met- his- leu- trp- Ala-. At regular interval time, the mating cells are interrupted and the cell suspensions plated on four different growth media with streptomycin. The amino acids in the growth media and the number of colonies observed on each are as follows:

What is the order of transfer of the genes?

In the mating Hfr met- his+ leu+ trp+ × F- met+ his- leu- trp-.  The met marker is known to be transferred very late. After a short time, the mating cells are interrupted and the cell suspensions plated on four different growth media. The amino acids in the growth media and the number of colonies observed on each are as follows:

histidine + tryptophan  250 colonies

histidine + leucine         50 colonies 

leucine + tryptophan    500 colonies

histidine                       10 colonies

What is the order of transfer of the genes

In a transduction experiment, phage P1 is grown on a bacterial host of genotype A+ B+ C+ and the resulting lysate is used to infect a recipient strain of genotype A– B– C–. The genes are in an order such that B is in the middle, and the distance between A and B is greater than the distance between B and C. Based on this information, which of the following least genotype?
