Following statements are regarding to gap junctions.

i. Vertebrate gap junctions are composed of connexins, a family of structurally related transmembrane proteins with molecular weights between 26,000 and 60,000.

ii. Each vertebrate hexagonal particle consists of six noncovalently associated connexin molecules. Each individual connexin molecule has two membrane-spanning α helices with a topology similar to that of claudin.

iii. The permeability of gap junctions is regulated by posttranslational modification of connexins (e.g., phosphorylation) and is sensitive to changes in environmental conditions

such as intracellular pH and Ca2+ concentration, membrane potential, and the intercellular potential between adjacent interconnected cells (“voltage gating”).

iv. The assembly of connexins, their trafficking within cells, and the formation of functional gap junctions apparently depend on N-cadherin and its associated adapter proteins as well as desmosomal proteins.

A plant height in Maize is control by 3 pair of polygene .Two varieties of maize averaging 120 and 60 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 40 inches in height. What is proportional of F2 progeny that is display phenotype either 120 cm or 60 cm height?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Plant height of wild Solanum nigrum is controlled by polygene. A pure line plant with 60 cm height was cross to pure line plant having 20 cm height .All F1 plant having uniform height 40 cm. F1 plant was allowed to self-fertilization to produced 4/64 proportional of F2 plant having height 20 cm . What is number of polygene governing plant height?
