Explain what happens during the three phases of signal transduction.

1 answer:

8 0

The three phases of signal transduction is (1) reception, (2) transduction, and (3) response. Reception involves the binding of a ligand, may it be a hormone or a neurotransmitter; to a receptor, may it be a membrane receptor, cytosolic receptor, or a nuclear receptor. After binding of the ligand to the receptor, there will be signal transduction of events that will ultimately form a response. For instance, insulin actin on the insulin receptor will trigger a series of events that will increase the transcription of the gene translating for glucose transporters and ultimately, increase the number of glucose transporters embedded in the cell membrane leading to increased glucose uptake in tissues.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

1. First calculate the distance of the map for trace (eg) and spastic mutation (sps); Recombinant frequency:

vg + sps + vg sps + = 99 + 97 = 196

we are going to divide 196 by 650 (total descendants) = 0.3.

in the next step we are going to calculate the recombinant frequency 0.3 * 100 = 30 mu or cM or 30%

this shows that there is an association between vestige (eg) and spastic mutation (sps) since the recombinant frequency is less than 50%.

The squareness test is not valid because the combining frequency is far from 50%.

2. Results:

1. Genes are linked.

3. The test rejected the independent assortment law because it is not true that there is a 1: 1: 1: 1 relationship between descendants

If one forgets about food safety it would be a disaster and can cause food poisoning. However if one would just follow the 4 simple steps one's family can be safe from food poisoning. The steps include clean, to separate, cook then chill. In this scenario, Felicia forgets the first step which is a. clean.
