The Hardy-Wienberg principle comes from considering what happens when Medelian genes act on population. The model predicts that there will be no change in allele frequencies when

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. Migration into the population occurs at a steady rate

  2. The population suffers a bottle neck

  3. a rare new mutation is associated with a sharp increase in fitness

  4. no evolutionary process is at work

The Turing model provides a framework for limb development. Following statements are regarding to this model:


A. In Turing’s model, morphogen A promotes the production of more morphogen A (autoactivation) as well as production of morphogen I. Morphogen I, however, inhibits the production of morphogen A (lateral inhibition).


B. In Turing’s model, morphogen A inhibits the production of more morphogen A (autoinhibition) as well as production of morphogen I. Morphogen I, however, promotes the production of morphogen A (lateral activation).


C. In Turing’s model, the reaction-diffusion dynamics can tell us how the limb bud acquires its proximal- distal polarity as well as how the number of digits is regulated at the distal tip of the limb.


D. The reaction-diffusion system has been proposed to be sufficient for establishing patterns of precartilage and noncartilage tissues.


E. According to this model, along the proximal-distal axis the AER dividing into two domains 1-the inhibitory domain 2-the active domain.


F. According to this model, along the proximal-distal axis the AER dividing into three domains 1-the inhibitory domain 2-the active domain 3-frozen domain.

During an experiments mutating the conserved cysteine in the LOV1 domain of phot1 does not affect phototropic responsiveness (the seedlings bend toward blue light) whereas the equivalent mutation in LOV2 abolishes the response. What will be the conclusion has been drawn from this experiments?

a)  LOV1 domain is secondarily responsible (primarily responsible is LOV2 domain) for kinase activation and LOV1 is not is coupled with the protein region Jα-helix that’s why it does not affect phototropic responsiveness

b) These studies have demonstrated that LOV2 domain is primarily responsible for kinase activation in response to blue light

c) This is due in part to the position of LOV2 within the phototropin molecule, where it is coupled to a protein region known as the Jα-helix

d) The function of LOV2 domain is thought to play a role in receptor dimerization by accomplishing the kinase activation in response to blue light

Stem cells are defined by two capacities:
(1) the ability to regenerate or “self-renew” and
(2) the ability to differentiate into all diverse cell types. Embryonic stem cells have the capacity to generate every specialized cell type in an organism, in other words,
