A number of mutations have been described in the G protein Ras that have profound effects on its activity. For example, some mut

ations greatly increase the affinity of the G protein for GDP, making it very difficult for GDP to be exchanged for GTP. Other mutations prevent the GTPase activity of Ras, preventing it from causing the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP. Which of the scenarios would result in a persisting proliferation response to growth factor receptor activation after the ligand is no longer binding to its receptor kinase? a mutation that blocks the exchange of GDP with GTP a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras Both a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras and a mutation that blocks the exchange of GDP with GTP would cause the response to persist. Neither a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras nor a mutation that blocks the exchange of GDP with GTP would cause the response to persist.

Answer:

a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras

Explanation:

A G protein in inactive state is GDP bound but as soon as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) exchanges it with GTP it gets activated which means that in GTP bound state it is active. G - protein has endogenous GTPase activity. Upon interaction of GAP, the GTPase activity of this protein is exhibited. When GAP is present, hydrolysis of GTP into GDP occurs which leads to inactivation of G protein. A mutation which will block GTPase activity of Ras will therefore result in constitutive active signaling even in the absence of ligand binding to it's receptor. In such scenario, GTP will not be hydrolyzed into GDP so signaling will be up-regulated.

Heat Transfer discussion based question
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Thermal energy flows from a warmer material to a cooler material.  When thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases. There are three ways heat is transferred into and through the atmosphere: Radiation, conduction and convection.

Radiation is when energy, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is emitted by a heated surface in all directions and travels directly to its point of absorption at the speed of light; thermal radiation does not require an intervening medium to carry it. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it.

What is the major function of a leaf
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

The leaf (from Latin fŏlĭum, fŏlĭi) is the vegetative and generally flattened organ of vascular plants, specialized mainly to perform photosynthesis. The morphology and anatomy of stems and leaves are closely related and, together, both organs constitute the stem of the plant.

Typical leaves - also called nomophiles - are not the only ones that develop during the life cycle of a plant. From the germination, different types of leaves follow each other - coiled, primordial leaves, prophilic, bracts and antophiles in flowers - with very different forms and functions.

A nomophile usually consists of a flattened sheet, a short stem - the petiole - that joins the sheet to the stem and, at its base, a pair of appendages - the stipules. The presence or absence of these elements and the extreme diversity of forms of each of them has generated a rich vocabulary to categorize the multiplicity of types of leaves presented by vascular plants, whose description is called foliar morphology.
