The insulin signaling pathway inhibits the synthesis of the Foxo transcription factor proteins that would otherwise increase cellular longevity. Downregulation of the insulin signaling pathway has several other functions, choose right one

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. It appears to influence metabolism, increasing mitochondrial electron transport.
  2. When the DAF-2 receptor is not active, cells increase the production of enzymes that prevent oxidative damage, as well as DNA repair enzymes.
  3. This lack of insulin signaling increases fertility.
  4. Decrease in DNA synthetic enzymes and in enzymes that protect against ROS is due to the Foxo/DAF-16 transcription factor

In birds, sex is determined by a ZW chromosome scheme. Males are ZZ and females are ZW. A recessive lethal allele that causes death of the embryo is sometimes present on the Z chromosome in pigeons. What would be the sex ratio in the offspring of a cross between a male that is heterozygous for the lethal allele and a normal female?

In some goats, the presence of horns is produced by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A horned female is crossed with a hornless male. The F1 offspring are intercrossed to produce the F2. What proportion of the F2 offspring will have horns?
