One of the enzyme that are involve in the ammonium assimilation is Asparagine synthetase (AS), some statements given below about AS such as,

a) This enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, is found in the cytosol of leaves and roots and in nitrogen-fixing nodules

b) High levels of light and carbohydrate inhibit the expression of genes coding for AS and the activity of the enzyme

c) Conditions of ample energy stimulate AS, thus they favor nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate

d) Energy-limited conditions inhibit GS and GOGAT, stimulate AS, and thus favor nitrogen assimilation into asparagine, a compound that is rich in nitrogen and sufficiently stable for long-distance transport or long term storage

Which of the following statements about AS is correct?

In balancing selection, two or more alleles are kept in balance, and therefore are maintained in a population over the course of many generations. Which of the following example can support balancing natural selection?

A- Sickle cell allele kept in balance because heterozygotes have greater chance of survival if infected by the malarial parasite, compared with normal homozygotes

B. One morph has selective advantage over another morph

C. One homozygote has greater chance of survival than other genotype results in purity of population

D. many species of invertebrates exist as different colored forms, identical in all respects except color. Visually searching predators often develop a search image for one color form, usually the commoner

The amount of change in q is directly proportional to the migration (m); The magnitude of change is also affected by the differences in allelic frequencies of the two populations (qI - qII); What is amount of change when 200 migratory individuals are merge in recipient population size of 1800. Allele frequency of q1 of source and recipient population is .80 and .20 respectively.

Imagine a plant of extremely variable height that is pollinated by three different pollinators, one that was attracted to short plants, another that preferred plants of medium height and a third that visited only the tallest plants. If the pollinator that preferred plants of medium height disappeared from an area. What is concluding of this condition?
