Glutamine and glutamate are the primary nitrogen donors for biosynthetic reactions in the cell.  Glutamine is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Its side chain is similar to that of glutamic acid, except the carboxylic acid group is replaced by an amide. It is classified as a charge-neutral, polar amino acid. It is non-essential and conditionally essential in humans, meaning the body can usually synthesize sufficient amounts of it, but in some instances of stress, the body's demand for glutamine increases, and glutamine must be obtained from the diet. Glutamate is generally acknowledged to be the most important transmitter for normal brain function. Nearly all excitatory neurons in the central nervous system<span> are glutamatergic, and it is estimated that over half of all brain synapses release this agent. Glutamate plays an especially important role in clinical neurology because elevated concentrations of extracellular glutamate, released as a result of neural injury, are toxic to neurons</span>

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Due to vegetative reproduction, his plants are not genetically diverse.

Explanation:

Strawberry plants do not reproduce via sexual reproduction, so we can immediately eliminate the options pertaining to sexual reproduction. Now, we can take a look at the options pertaining to vegetative reproduction.

With vegetative reproduction, the "child" plant has the same genetic makeup as the parent plant. If this happens over and over, then the offspring will not be genetically diverse. Either all of the strawberry plants or none of them would be fungi-resistant. The farmer did not find any fungi-resistant plants because they all have the same genes, and therefore all do not have the genes that would make them fungi-resistant.

Describe the role of signal molecules in activating gene expression at the appropriate time
Sholpan [36]
Some genes only need to be expressed or produced when needed. For example, fibrinogen is a protein that needs to be produced when a person needs to clot. A signal protein 'signals' or tells the DNA to start producing that particular protein. Imagine if the protein was produced all of the time at the same quantities...a person would be prone to strokes and other sicknesses that are caused by blocking the flow of blood to tissue.
