Answer:
The group needs to find signs of apical dominance, growth in response to light, vascular tissue differentiation, formation of lateral and adventitious roots, etc.
Explanation:
Lanolin is a solvent used to study physiological processes in plants by diluting hormone growth regulators (in this case, indole acetic acid). Indole acetic acid (IAA) is the most important auxin hormone in plants. Auxins are essential plant hormones synthesized in expanding shoot tips that move down the stem to the roots. These hormones coordinate cell division, elongation and identity during plant body development. IAA hormone is well known to regulate different plant developmental processes including, among others, apical dominance (where the central stem grows more strongly than other lateral stems), tissue differentiation, stem elongation, phototropism (growth in response to light) and gravitropism (response to gravity). For instance, under the application of IAA, it is expected that bean stems grow to imitate the response to light (phototropism) by bending away from the side where lanolin was applied.
Answer:
Mutations of enzymes involved in nucleotide excision repair.
Explanation:
- Xeroderma pigmentosum is a genetic disorder and the person suffering from this disorder is sensitive to ultraviolet light due to the disability of the enzymes involved in nucleotide excision repair which prevents DNA damage caused by ultraviolet light.
- Thus, the individuals are sensitive to the exposure of UV and suffer severe problems when exposed to sunlight.
- The major cause of the disorder is the inability to repair DNA damage caused by exposure to sunlight due to the mutation in an enzyme involved in nucleotide excision repair.
- Nucleotide excision repair is a DNA repair process that can excise out single-stranded DNA that is damaged by UV.
- UV exposure leads to the addition of bulky adducts in the DNA known as thymine dimers. The enzymes of NER are involved in the removal of these adducts by excising out a segment of DNA that contains such lesions.
- However, in the case of XP, the mutations make this repair system non-functional or partially functional and thus, the individual becomes highly sensitive to UV exposure.
