Host-pathogen interactions are an ongoing arms race; pathogens evolve to express unique structures that avoid host detection, and the host germline-encoded recognition system co-evolves to match these new challenges. However, because pathogens generally have much shorter life cycles than their vertebrate hosts, and some utilize error-prone DNA polymerases to replicate their genomes, pathogens can evolve rapidly to evade host encoded recognition systems. Which error prone DNA polymerase is used  by human?

As with cryptochrome and phytochrome, the N-terminal photosensory region of the phototropins controls the activity of the C-terminal half of the protein, which contains a serine/threonine kinase domain. Following are some statements about photosensory region of the phototropins.

a) The activation of the C-terminal kinase domain then leads to receptor autophosphorylation on multiple serine residues that is required for all phototropin-mediated responses

b) In the dark, the N-terminal region, including the LOV domains, “cages” and inhibits the activity of the kinase domain

c) In the light, the N-terminal region, including the LOV domains, “cages” and inhibits the activity of the kinase domain

d) Absorption of blue photons by the LOV domains results in primary photochemical changes that lead to the uncaging of the kinase domain and its activation by the unfolding of the Jα-helix

Which one of the following combination of above statements is correct?

Ecologist have proposed following explanation to lead maximize biodiversity at tropic.

A. Higher productivity in the tropics allows for more species present

 B. Old communities have greater species than younger community

 C. Natural enemies such as predators and parasite limit competition in the tropics, which allows more species to coexist

D. Very less intensity of disturbances in the tropics promote high succession diversity

Which of the following apply to fibronectins? Please select all that apply.

a) They are disulphide linked dimers, with each polypeptide composed of a number of binding domains joined together by short flexible segments.

b) They have an essential role in linking the extracellular matrix to its underlying cells.

c) Like integrins, fibronectins are directly connected to the cytoskeleton.

d) They participate in 'inside out' and 'outside in' signalling mechanisms.
