Students wanted to perform an experiment to mimic natural selection. They noted that small plants growing in the school garden h

ad projections that extended from the leaves. These projections are called trichomes. They hypothesized that the trichomes protect the plant from herbivory, when herbivores eat the leaves from the plants and cause damage. The students counted the average number of trichomes per leaf and plotted this on the top graph, shown here. They then selected parent plants that had a higher than average trichome number per leaf to pollinate, creating a new generation of plants. The distribution of average trichome number for the second generation is shown in the bottom graph.
Which statements below are supported by the information shown here?
A) The trichome number is controlled by a genetic factor.
B) Directional selection occurred due to the student's experiment.
C) Herbivores can no longer consume the plants in the second generation.
D) The genotypic frequencies of the first and second generation should be identical.
E) Artificial selection can alter phenotype frequencies in as few as two generations.

A mutation in a G-protein prevents the alpha-subunit from dissociating from the beta/gamma-subunit. What effect will this have o
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

the pathway will be under-expressed.

  • the alpha subunit helps to bind with either GDP or GTP. when the α subunit is bound with GDP, it will be bound to β and γ subunits and thus forms an inactive state for G-protein.
  • when the alpha subunit binds with the GTP, it becomes activated and dissociates β and γ subunits.

if G-protein Coupled Receptor is unable from dissociating β and γ subunits, then the pathway will go under expression.  

The chemical qualities of the alpha subunit allow it to bind easily to one of two guanine subunits, GDP or GTP. The protein thus has two functional formations. When GDP is bound to the alpha subunit, the alpha subunit remains bound to the beta-gamma subunit to form an inactive trimeric protein.

G-proteins, cAMP, and Ion Channel Opening. The alpha subunit activates adenylate cyclase, in purple, and loses GTP. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cyclic AMP, which then activates Protein Kinase, shown in blue. Protein Kinase phosphorylates an ion channel, letting sodium ions rush into the cell.

As a result of the ligand binding to its site on the G-protein-linked receptor, A) the G-protein changes conformation and GTP replaces the GDP on the alpha subunit. ... Inactivation of the alpha subunit occurs when its own phosphorylase activity removes a phosphate from the GTP.
