Discuss how protein kinases function to produce signal amplification in a cell

1 answer:

4 0

A signal reaches a cell mostly in the form of a signalling molecule binding to a receptor on the cell surface. This binding activates a chain of events that amplifies the signal and transfers it inside the cell. Protein kinases phosphorylate proteins and cause their activation or deactivation, or in general modify their activity. When a signalling molecule binds to a receptor, a cascade is activated and the second messengers, such as cAMP, are synthesized. cAMP molecules activate the protein kinases, which phosphorylate specific proteins and activate them.

2) A population of animals is permanently split by a natural barrier into two separate populations in different environments. Wh

kaheart [24]

Answer:

C) The two populations will evolve into separate species.

Explanation:

In the given question, the population of animals has been split into two different populations due to a natural barrier present between them.

When we will observe these species after a very long time, the species will not be able to reproduce with each other and will be reproductively isolated. This reproductive isolation will lead to the formation of new species but belonging to the same genus.

Thus, Option-C is correct.
