Mitotic CDKs affect nuclear envelope components by specific mechanism. Which of the following statement is not related to this mechanism?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. The CDKs phosphorylate specific nucleoporins, which causes nuclear pore complexes to dissociate into subcomplexes during prophase. 
  2. Phosphorylation of integral membrane proteins of the inner nuclear membrane causes depolymerization of the lamin intermediate filaments.
  3. The weakening of the associations between the inner nuclear membrane proteins and the nuclear lamina and chromatin allows sheets of inner nuclear membrane to retract into the endoplasmic reticulum, which is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane.
  4. Mitotic CDKs induce the formation of the mitotic spindle. The function of the mitotic spindle is to segregate chromosomes so that the sister chromatids separate from each other and are moved to opposite poles of the cell.

Biologists performed an experiment with flies to examine the effects of population size on the maintenance of genetic variation  and  on  egg-to-adult survival.  From  a  large  source  population, they  randomly  assigned  eggs  to  three experimental  populations  of  size  N,  equal  to  20,  60,  and0100.  For  later  generations,  they  collected  N  eggs  from each  population  and  moved  them  into  identical  vials  that  co0ntained  f2re0sh  me4d0ium.  Th6e0y  coun8te0d  the  number  of adult flies that emerged and used tissue samples from the adults for genetic analyses. Genetic variation was measured by  scoring  alleles  at  several  polymorphic  loci  and  expressed  as  the  average  number  of  alleles  at  those  loci.  The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.


The numbers of adult flies that emerged from the three populations in the first generation are closest to which of the following?

The variation that arises is directed toward fixed goals, so that a species evolves in a predetermined direction by some kind of internal drive, without the aid of natural selection. This hypothesis is known as,

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

When two independent pure lines AAbb and aaBB of pea with white flowers are crossed, the F1 progeny has purple flowers. Gene A and B link at 20 map unit. The following conclusions were made

A. When an heterozygous individual of the genotype AaBb is test crossed, progenies with purple and white in a ratio of 1:3

B. When an heterozygous individual of the genotype AaBb is test crossed, progenies with purple and white in a ratio of 1:9

C. This is an example of complementary gene action

D. The F2 progeny obtained on selfing shows both pruple and white flower in a ratio of 9:7

The appropriate folding of a newly translated product is essential, and continual misfolding often leads to disease, especially in vertebrates. This misfolding, particularly in the situation of prion diseases, may be due to
