This feature is an adaptive, as the redistribution of
chloroplasts within the cells modulates light absorption and prevents
photodamage, diagram shows of chloroplast distribution patterns in Arabidopsis
palisade cells in response to different light intensities;
m) A-low light, B-high light, C-darkness
n) A-high light, B-darkness, C-low light
Based on the above light intensities, each shows
different chloroplasts position such as,
i) chloroplasts avoid sunlight by migrating to the
side walls of palisade cells
ii) chloroplasts move to the bottom of the cell,
although the physiological function of this position is unclear
iii) chloroplasts optimize light absorption by
accumulating at the upper and lower sides of palisade cells
Which of the following correct combinations shows light intensities and chloroplast movements?

Embryonic stem cells can be induced in the laboratory to differentiate into muscle, nerve, pancreatic, and other specialized cell types. It has recently become possible to trigger the dedifferentiation of somatic cells back into pluripotent cells (so-called induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells) by artificially enhancing the production of a relatively small number of key transcriptional factors known to be required for maintenance of pluripotency. Examples of such transcription factors are OCT4 and NANOG. The production of OCT4 and NANOG (and other key regulatory proteins) is stimulated by a transcription factor known as FOXP1, a member of the Forkhead family of DNA-binding proteins. There are two isoforms of FOXP1.
Which of the following statement regarding to FOXP1 is incorrect?

plants can store high levels of nitrate, and they can translocate it from tissue to tissue without deleterious effect. Yet if livestock or humans consume plant material that is high in nitrate, they may suffer with,

Some members of a photosynthetic plant species are genetically resistant to an herbicide, while other members of the same species are not resistant to the herbicide. Which combination of events should cause the most effective replacement of the non-herbicide-resistant strain of plants by the resistant strain?
1. The presence of the herbicide in the environment
2. The absence of the herbicide from the environment
3. The maintenance of the proper conditions for one generation
4. The maintenance of the proper conditions for many generations
