Answer: Discriminative stimulus

Explanation:

A discriminative stimulus is associated with reinforcement or punishment, that exerts control over a particular form of behavior. The subject discriminates between closely related stimuli and elicits a specific behavior only in the presence of that stimulus. T<u>his stimulus increases the probability of a given response</u> because of their historical correlation with the availability of reinforcement for the response.

In this example, the hungry rat gets food if it presses a bar only when the light is on. The rat learns that is most likely to request this food in the future in the presence of this light, because historically, the request has been reinforced in the presence of this light. <u>The light in the example became a discriminative stimulus and it evokes the response.</u>

You are given a protein with the following amino acid sequence:
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

 d. Lysine is replaced by tryptophan (nonpolar)

Explanation:

Amino acid substitutions can have varying affects on the protein function, depending on the specific substitution and the location of the substitution.

If the substitution occurs in an important region, for example an enzyme active site, then the function of the protein could be destroyed.

Additionally, if the substitution replaces the amino acid with a highly different amino acid with different properties (eg. polarity), it could alter the structure and function of the protein.

Replacing lysine (polar) with a tryptophan (non-polar) changes the properties of the amino acid at that location, whereas the other substitutions do not.

How do the resurection of fern, crysts of brine shrimps and tardigrade survive with no water?
ehidna [41]
They survive without water by entering a special mode, otherwise called as shriveling. They can lose even 95% of water in their body and still live, even though they would look like dead plants, they would actually be alive. In the absence of water, tardigrades use a sugar called trehalose, which becomes their source of life until they find some water.
