Use the following information to answer the question. In order to test how sea urchin sperm bind to eggs, scientists isolated the egg receptor protein

that binds to the sperm acrosomal protein called bindin. Plastic beads were coated with egg receptor for bindin (ERB1) from eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and then the beads mixed with sperm from S. purpuratus or from the related species, S. franciscanus. The researchers counted how many sperm were bound to each bead. The results are shown in the graph below. Treatments:

A: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

B: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein

C: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

D: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein

Based on the data in the graph, which of the following conclusions is supported?

Ultrastructural studies have led to the characterization of two distinctive cytological
pathways of PCD in plants;
I) Vacuolar-type PCD
II) Hypersensitive response-type (HR-type) PCD
a) cytosol and all its organelles, including the plasma membrane, are completely brokendown
b) The vacuole loses water, resulting in marked cell shrinkage, contraction from the cell wall,
and nuclear DNA degradation
c) PCD occurs in leaves in response to microbial attack
d) cell wall is either partially or completely digested as well, as in endosperm tissue
e) Continued water loss from the cytosol leads to the breakdown of the plasma membrane
and the release of residual cellular contents into the apoplast
Given characterization of PCD pathway match with its type PCD?

The autophagy pathway included____
a) the catabolic mechanism that delivers cellular components to lysosomes, where they are degraded
b) Autophagy protects the cell from the harmful or lethal effects of damaged or unnecessary proteins and organelles
c) During starvation, the autophagic breakdown and recycling of cellular components also
ensure cellular survival by maintaining cellular energy levels
Which of the following are the correct prediction about autophagy is true?

WRKY plant-specific group of transcription factors that play important role in many plant metabolic and developmental processes such as;
a) It contain a 30 amino acid region named for the conserved amino acid sequence WRKYGQK in its N-terminal domain
b) It is an important regulators of plant–pathogen interactions as well as senescence
c) WRKY53 is involved in the regulation of dark-induced leaf senescence
d) In Arabidopsis, leaf senescence is delayed in knockout mutants of the WRKY53 gene
e) WRKY53 also binds to the promoter of the WRKY53 gene, inhibiting its own expression in a negative feedback loop
Which of the following given prediction about WRKY transcription factor is correct?
