Model of cry1 interactions with COP1/SPA1 in the regulation of photomorphogenesis, what will happen in the dark as well as in the light in wild type condition of cryptochrome?

a) In the dark, COP1/SPA1 acts to degrade transcription factors such as HY5, which is required for photomorphogenesis

b) In the dark, cry1 is activated by phosphorylation and forms a complex with COP1 and SPA1 via the C-terminal domain, preventing them from degrading protein HY5

c) In the light, COP1/SPA1 acts to degrade transcription factors such as HY5, which is required for photomorphogenesis

d) In the light, cry1 is activated directly by blue light and indirectly by blue light induced phosphorylation and forms a complex with COP1 and SPA1 via the C-terminal domain, preventing them from degrading protein HY5

e) In light as well as in dark both case cryptochrome perfom same function such as forming a complex with COP1/ SPA1 thereby promoting an increase in HY5 protein levels and transcription

Which of the following combinations from the above statements of cryptochrome is incorrect?

An explanation for the evolution of insect wings suggests that wings began as lateral extensions of the body that were used as heat dissipaters for thermoregulation. When they had become sufficiently large, these extensions became useful for gliding through the air, and selection later refined them as flight-producing wings. If this hypothesis is correct, insect wings could best be described as

Many species of snakes lay eggs, but in the forests of northern Minnesota where growing seasons are short, only live-bearing snake species are present. This trend toward species that perform live birth is an example of

In the 5—7 million years that the hominid lineage has been diverging from its common ancestor with the great apes, dozens of hominid species have arisen, often with several species coexisting in time and space. As recently as 30,000 years ago, Homo sapiens coexisted with Homo neanderthalensis. Both species had large brains and advanced intellects. The fact that these traits were common to both species is most easily explained by which of the following?

Fossil evidence indicates that several kinds of flightless dinosaurs possessed feathers. If some of these feather-bearing dinosaurs incubated clutches of eggs in carefully constructed nests, this might be evidence supporting the claim that
