Adrenaline stimulates glycogen breakdown in skeletal muscle cells by ultimately activating glycogen phosphorylase, the enzyme th

at breaks down glycogen. Which of the following statements below is false?
a. A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would lead to a decrease in the amount of unphosphorylated phosphorylase kinase.
b. A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would not increase the affinity of adrenaline for the adrenergic receptor.
c. A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would lead to an excess in the amount of glycogen available.
d. A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would increase the amount of phosphorylated glycogen phosphorylase.
e. A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would lead to an excess in the amount of glucose available.

Answer:

d) A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would lead to an excess in the amount of glycogen available.

Explanation:

This occurs in the process of Glycogenolysis. The process involves breaking down of glycogen to glucose  -1- phosphate and glycogen which helps in the release of glucose into the blood stream to prevent hypoglycemia(low blood sugar). The glucose-1-phosphate is later converted to glucose -6-phosphate. The latter enters the glycolytic pathway in which the reaction is catalysed by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.

This homeostatic glucose regulation  is regulated by the protein kinase(PKA)/ cAMP pathway in the skeletal muscles, the liver and the pancreas.

Answer:

c. A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would lead to an excess in the amount of glycogen available.

Explanation:

This represented the process of Glycogenlysis. The breaking down of glycogen to glucose  -1- phosphate  and glycogen  to release glucose into the blood stream to prevent hypoglycemia. The glucose-1-phosphate is later converted to glucose -6-phosphate. The latter enters the glycolytic parthway. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.

This homeostatic glucose regulation   is regulated by the protein kinase(PKA)/ cAMP pathway in the skeletal muscles, the liver and the pancreas. The PKA/cAMP signaling  pathway, also regulate glucose uptake,  breakdown of glycogen, insulin and glucagon synthesis.

In guinea pigs, smooth coat (S) is dominant over rough coat ( s ) and black coat (B) is dominant over white coat (b). In the cro
hoa [83]

Answer:

9 out of 16 offsprings

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pig; one coding for coat texture and the other for coat color. The alleles for smooth coat (S) and black coat (B) are dominant over rough coat (s) and white coat (b).

In this question, two heterozygous guinea pigs were crossed i.e. SsBb × SsBb. The gametes produced by each parent is as follows: SB, Sb, sB, sb. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the proportion of offsprings will be:

Smooth black coat (S_B_) = 9

Smooth white coat (S_bb) = 3

Rough black coat (ssB_) = 3

Rough white coat (ssbb) = 1

Hence, according to this question, 9 out of 16 offsprings will have a smooth black coat on average.
