You set up a cross between true breeding wild type male fruit flies and true breeding female flies with a yellow body color. You notice in the F1 generation that half the flies, specifically all the males, have yellow body color while the females are wild type (gray). Which of the following explanations is the most likely?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Some of your females had already mated with yellow males before you collected them.
  2. Some of your parental flies must have had a new mutation in their germ cells.
  3. The mutation which causes yellow body color is on the X chromosome.
  4. The mutation which causes yellow body color is on the Y chromosome.

Organization of the protein complexes the photosystems I and II Are spatially separated in the thylakoid membrane, choose the correct arrangement of PSI and PSII on the membrane ;

a.) The PSI reaction centre and its associated antenna pigments and electron transfer proteins, as well as the coupling-factor enzyme that catalyzes the formation of ATP, are found almost exclusively in the stroma lamellae and at the edges of the grana lamellae

b.) The PSI reaction centre, along with its antenna chlorophylls and associated electron transport proteins, is located predominantly in the stromal lamellae

c.) The PSII reaction centre and its associated antenna pigments and electron transfer proteins, as well as the coupling-factor enzyme that catalyzes the formation of ATP, are found almost exclusively in the stroma lamellae and at the edges of the grana lamellae

d.) The PSII reaction centre, along with its antenna chlorophylls and associated electron transport proteins, is located predominantly in the grana lamellae

The classic work of Christian Anfinsen in the 1950s on the enzyme ribonuclease revealed the relation between the amino acid sequence of a protein and its conformation. Ribonuclease is a single polypeptide chain consisting of 124 amino acid residues cross-linked by four disulfide bonds. Anfinsen’s plan was to destroy the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme and to then determine what conditions were required to restore the structure.

The critical observation of Anfinsen that the denatured ribonuclease, freed of urea and b -mercaptoethanol by dialysis;

I. The sulfhydryl groups of the denatured enzyme became reduced by air, and the enzyme spontaneously refolded into a catalytically active form.

II. These experiments showed that the information needed to specify the catalytically active structure of ribonuclease is contained in its amino acid sequence.

III. The 105 wrong pairings have been picturesquely termed “scrambled” ribonuclease.

IV. He found that scrambled ribonuclease spontaneously converted into fully active, native ribonuclease when trace amounts of b -mercaptoethanol were added to an aqueous solution of the protein.
