A mutation in a G-protein prevents the alpha-subunit from dissociating from the beta/gamma-subunit. What effect will this have o

n the pathway in which the G-protein is involved?

Answer:

the pathway will be under-expressed.

  • the alpha subunit helps to bind with either GDP or GTP. when the α subunit is bound with GDP, it will be bound to β and γ subunits and thus forms an inactive state for G-protein.
  • when the alpha subunit binds with the GTP, it becomes activated and dissociates β and γ subunits.

if G-protein Coupled Receptor is unable from dissociating β and γ subunits, then the pathway will go under expression.  

The chemical qualities of the alpha subunit allow it to bind easily to one of two guanine subunits, GDP or GTP. The protein thus has two functional formations. When GDP is bound to the alpha subunit, the alpha subunit remains bound to the beta-gamma subunit to form an inactive trimeric protein.

G-proteins, cAMP, and Ion Channel Opening. The alpha subunit activates adenylate cyclase, in purple, and loses GTP. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cyclic AMP, which then activates Protein Kinase, shown in blue. Protein Kinase phosphorylates an ion channel, letting sodium ions rush into the cell.

As a result of the ligand binding to its site on the G-protein-linked receptor, A) the G-protein changes conformation and GTP replaces the GDP on the alpha subunit. ... Inactivation of the alpha subunit occurs when its own phosphorylase activity removes a phosphate from the GTP.

Which of Thomas hunt morgans hypotheses was valid
Simora [160]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

white eyes are homozygous recessive

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Thomas Hunt Morgan work with the fruit fly showed that genes are linked in a series on chromosomes and are responsible for identifiable, hereditary traits. </u></em>He was the first to identify that genes are linked to the same chromosome.
  • <em><u>According to his hypothesis he stated that genes that are linked are arranged linearly on a chromosome, while those genes with low combination frequencies must be closer together and thus difficult to separate</u></em>.
  • When a gene contains two similar alleles that is, either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles then it is called homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive respectively. White eyes of a fruit fly is an example of homozygous recessive

If you want to see something in fine detail, you should focus the light on which part of your retina?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

If you want to see something in fine detail, you should focus the light the cornea. The lens works together with the cornea to focus light correctly on retina.

When light hit on retina special cells called photo receptors turn the light into electrical signals. The lens are the clear part of eyes behind the iris that help to focus light and image on retina to see something clearly.Lens is the important part of eye when it comes to focusing light so that we can see perfect clear image.

The retina is the most sensitive part which can effect by more light because retina convert incoming light into electrical impulse.

What are the similarities and differences between the low-light seedlings and the moderate-light seedlings?
Natalka [10]

The similarities between the low-light seedlings and moderate-light seedlings are the amount of chlorophyll until 12 hours and the differences suddenly increase after this period.

<h3>What is photosynthesis rate?</h3>

The photosynthesis rate is the amount of photosynthetic products (i.e., glucose) that generates by a plant in a given unit of time, which depends on the amount of chlorophyll.

In this case,  low-light seedlings and moderate-light seedlings produce amount of chlorophyll at a similar rate until 12 hours, while the maximized value for moderate-light seedlings and low-light seedlings is 48 hours.

In conclusion, the similarities between the low-light seedlings and moderate-light seedlings are the amount of chlorophyll until 12 hours and the differences suddenly increase after this period.
