In comparing the genomes of humans and those of other higher primates, it is seen that humans have a large metacentric pair we call chromosome #2 among our 46 chromosomes, while the other primates of this group have 48 chromosomes and any pair like the human #2 pair is not present; instead the primate groups each have two pairs of midsize acrocentric chromosomes. What is the most likely explanation?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. The ancestral organism had 48 chromosomes and at some point a centric fusion event occurred and provided some selective advantage.

  2. The ancestral organism had 46 chromosomes, but primates evolved when one of the pairs broke in half.

  3. At some point in evolution, human ancestors and primate ancestors were able to mate and produce fertile offspring, making a new species.

  4. Chromosome breakage results in additional centromeres being made in order for meiosis to proceed successfully.

In theory, auxin could increase the rate of proton extrusion by two possible mechanisms:
I) H+-ATPase activation
II) H+-ATPase synthesis
a) Auxin involves in the activation of ATP-driven proton-pump (H+-ATPase) indirectly
b) ABPs appear to be able to activate the plasma membrane H+-ATPase in the presence of auxin
c) Activity of the H+- ATPase is repressed by the C-terminal domain of the enzyme, which can block the catalytic site  in absence of auxin
d) The protein is synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and targeted via the secretory pathway to the plasma membrane
