Answer:
In human vision, the cone visual opsins are grouped into four photoreceptor protein families LWS, SWS1, SWS2, RH2
.
- SWS1: produce pigments sensitive to very short wavelengths, UV-violet, 360-450 nm.
- SWS2: produce pigments sensitive to short wavelengths, blue, 450-495 nm
- RH2: produce pigments sensitive to medium wavelengths, green, 495-560 nm
- LWS: produce pigments sensitive to long wavelengths, yellow-red, 560-770nm.
Explanation:
Photoreceptor proteins are light-sensitive proteins that mediate light-induced signal transduction, thus they are involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms.
The photoreceptor proteins are classified based on the chemical structure of the chromophores involved, the light absorption and on the protein sequence.
This photoreceptor proteins are located at the cone photoreceptor cells and are responsible of photopic vision.
For scotopic vision, rhodopsin is responsible. Rhodopsins are the visual pigments (visual purple) of the rod photoreceptor cell in the retina. They are responsible of human vision in dim light, as it contains a sensory protein that converts light into an electric signal.
It is true that a diet in high density lipoprotiens can help cleanse and open arteries that are clogged with plaque. The correct answer is true.
Answer:
genes from the nucleus of a eukaryotic algal endosymbiont
Explanation:
Given: Chlorarachniophyte and cryptophyte algae contain three sets of genetic material: the nuclear genome, the chloroplast genome, and a set of genes found in the nucleomorph.
Here, nucleomorph genes represent genes from the nucleus of a eukaryotic algal endosymbiont
Secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis results in the transitional forms - Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae.
Answer:
One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result of translocation.
Explanation:
Translocation and duplication are some of the structural abnormalities in the chromosomes that may even cause certain genetic disorders. Duplication is the presence of a genetic segment for more than one time in the chromosome. The repeated genetic segments are mostly present in the tandem pattern. When a chromosome fragment breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome, it is called translocation. It leads to the deletion of a genetic segment in one chromosome and duplication in the other.
According to the given information, a genetic segment bearing two genes is detached from one RNA and gets attached to the other RNA molecule of the HIV genome. Therefore, the RNA molecule has undergone translocation and has lost a genetic segment while the other has gained a genetic segment (duplication) due to translocation.
Do you have the solutions you want me to compare and contrast? :)
