During drought years on the Galapagos, small, easily eaten seeds become rare, leaving mostly large, hard-cased seeds that only birds with large beaks can eat. If a drought persists for several years, what should one expect to result from natural selection?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior

  1. Small birds gaining larger beaks by exercising their mouth parts.

  2. Small birds mutating their beak genes with the result that later-generation offspring have larger beaks.

  3. Small birds anticipating the long drought and eating more to gain weight and, consequently, growing larger beaks.

  4. More small-beaked birds dying than larger-beaked birds. The offspring produced in subsequent generations have a higher percentage of birds with large beaks.

During an ethylene signalling pathway, what will have done  inside cytosol and nucleus . Given below some prediction about presence and absence of ethylene in column B match with column A

            COLUMN A

                                           COLUMN B

I-  In the presence of ethylene

a)  ETR1 signaling is repressed and CTR1 is inactive

II- In the absence of ethylene

b)  ETR1 activate CTR1, a Ser/Thr kinase

 

c)  CTR1 phosphorylates the C-terminal domain of EIN2

 

d)  The nonphosphorylated C terminus of EIN2 is cleaved by a protease

 

e)  Phosphorylation of EIN2 inhibits proteolytic cleavage

 

f)  EIN3 transcription factors are ubiquitinated and degraded in the nucleus by the 26S proteasome

 

g)  EIN3 initiates a transcriptional cascade by activating expression of ethylene-responsive genes, including ERF1 transcription factor, leading to ethylene responses
