Biologists performed an experiment with flies to examine the effects of population size on the maintenance of genetic variation  and  on  egg-to-adult survival.  From  a  large  source  population, they  randomly  assigned  eggs  to  three experimental  populations  of  size  N,  equal  to  20,  60,  and0100.  For  later  generations,  they  collected  N  eggs  from each  population  and  moved  them  into  identical  vials  that  co0ntained  f2re0sh  me4d0ium.  Th6e0y  coun8te0d  the  number  of adult flies that emerged and used tissue samples from the adults for genetic analyses. Genetic variation was measured by  scoring  alleles  at  several  polymorphic  loci  and  expressed  as  the  average  number  of  alleles  at  those  loci.  The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.

Which process best explains the dynamics of genetic variation observed in this experiment?

Following statements are regarding to the protein phosphatase Cdc14 function in budding yeast.

A. In budding yeast, the protein phosphatase Cdc14 throws the switch between two mutually antagonistic states during anaphase.

B. Cdc14 is kept inactive during most of the cell cycle, but is activated during anaphase by a GTPase signaling pathway known as the mitotic exit network.

C. Mitotic exit network is unresponsive to spindle position and becomes active in anaphase.

D. Cdc14 phosphatase activated by the activation of protein kinase cascade.

E. Cdc14 dephosphorylates APC/CCdh1 and Sic1 to promote mitotic cyclin degradation

and mitotic CDK inactivation, respectively. This process leads to exit from mitosis.

The mitotic exit network that localizes to spindle pole bodies and whose activity is regulated by spindle position belongs to the family of signaling pathways known as the Hippo pathway in metazoans. Following statements are-

A. The conserved core of the Hippo signaling pathways consists of the Hippo protein kinase, which activates the Lats-Mob1 kinase.

B. The kinases are organized by a scaffolding molecule that, at least in budding and fission yeasts, targets the kinase cascade to centrosomes.

C. As in many kinase signaling cascades, a GTPase controls the activity of the mitotic exit network and the septation initiation network.

D. In metazoans, activation of the Hippo pathway leads to tissue overgrowth because the transcriptional activator TAZ (known as YAP in the mouse) constitutively promotes the expression of growth- and proliferation-promoting genes.
