Mammalian eyes sense light because the photoreceptor cells have molecules called opsins, which change structure when exposed to

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'.

3. What is the original source of energy for all fossil fuels?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

the sun

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis. In the same way that we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun.

hope this helps

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.
