Early-acting stress sensors provide the initial signal for the stress response,  several possible examples of stress-sensing mechanisms that act early in the pathway have been identified. They include:
A) calcium channel (cyclic nucleotide-gated calcium channel) that senses changes in temperature
B) A kinase (SnRK1, a SNF1-related kinase 1) that senses energy depletion during stress
C) A plasma membrane histidine kinase (ATHK1) that senses osmotic stress
D) A leucine rich repeat receptor kinase (LRRK) protein (Srlk)
E) An endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)
And activating several response after sensing these mechanisms;
i) activates hundreds of stress-response transcripts
ii) that functions as an upstream regulator of salinity responses in Arabidopsis
iii) that is required for acclimation to heat stress
iv) that is required for heat tolerance in plants
v) activates ABA-dependent and ABA-independent responses
Which of the following is the correct match the activating response with its sense mechanism;

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

The interaction of selection and inbreeding in determining the incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. Consider a gene in which recessive mutations occur at a rate of 10-5. Assume a selective disadvantage S of 0.4 in homozygotes for the recessive allele. What is the frequency of the recessive allele (q). And calculate the incidence of the disease. Assume random mating.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

The interaction of selection and inbreeding in determining the incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. Consider a gene in which recessive mutations occur at a rate of 10-5. Assume a selective disadvantage S of 0.4 in homozygotes for the recessive allele. Now assume that, for thousands of generations, 10% of all children have been products of first-cousin matings (the remaining 90% being products of random matings). Calculate the steady-state value of q. Also calculate the incidence of the disease at steady state.
