light. Which of the following plant molecules would be analogous to mammalian opsins in their light-sensing ability?
a. Pfr and phytochromeb. cytokinins and phototropinsc. auxin and Pfrd. auxin and phytochrome

<u>Answer:</u>

Pfr and phytochrome  would be analogous to mammalian opsins in their light-sensing ability.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Phytochromes are proteins which are 'sensitive to light', and are able to  detect light sources on the plant body.
  • These form an integral part of the leaves of a plant body.  
  • These proteins are made up of two forms: Pf and Pfr. Pf exists in an inactive form of phytochrome which activates in the presence of light to form Pfr which is an active form.
  • This Pfr induces a cellular response in the plant. Similar to the opsins in Mamalian eyes, these also change in structure when exposed to light.
  • Hence, Pfr and phytochrome are the molecules which can be analogous to 'mammalian opsins' in their 'light-sensing ability'.

What are three processes that contribute to genetic variation during sexual reproduction
brilliants [131]
  1. Crossing over – often, the sister homologous chromosomes of a cell exchange genetic material through recombination of genes.
  2. Independent assortment/random fertilization – there are numerous variety of ways that the chromosomes of the gametes can combine, after meiosis, through fertilization to form a zygote
  3. Mutation – on rare occasion, there is a slight and random change in the genes of a gametic cell caused by environmental factors.
