Two protein kinases, K1 and K2, function sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway. If either kinase contains a mutatio

n that permanently inactivates its function, no response is seen in cells when an extracellular signal is received. A different mutation in K1 makes it permanently active, so that in cells containing that mutation a response is observed even in the absence of an extracellular signal. You characterize a double-mutant cell that contains K2 with the inactivating mutation and K1 with the activating mutation. You observe that the response is seen even in the absence of an extracellular signal. In the normal signaling pathway, does K1 activate K2 or does K2 activate K1? Explain your answer.

Answer:

The order must be K2→K1, since the permanently active K1 allele (K1a) is able to propagate the signal onward even when its upstream activator K2 is inactive (K2i). The reverse order would have resulted in a failure to signal (K1a→K2i), since the permanently active K1a kinase would be attempting to activate a dead K2i kinase.

Explanation:

  • You characterize a double mutant cell that contains K2 with type I mutation and K1 with type II mutation.
  • You observe that the response is seen even when no extracellular signal is provided.
  • In the normal pathway, i f K1 activat es K2, we expect t his combinat ion of two m utants to show no  response with or without ext racell ular signal. This is because no matt er how active K1 i s, it would be unable to  act ivate a mutant K2 that i s an activit y defi cient. If we reverse the order, K2 activating K1, the above  observati on is valid. Therefore, in the normal signaling pathway, K2 activates K1.

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ets) causes approximately _______ nonsmokers to die of heart diseases annually.
Arte-miy333 [17]
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke causes approximately 45 to 46,000 non smokers to die of heat diseases annually. Smoking harms the cardiovascular system in many ways which include; damaging the lining of arteries, reduces HDL, good choresterol, Raises LML, bad cholesterol, increases blood pressure and heart rate, it also causes the platelets to stick together in the blood stream and speeds the development of fatty deposits in the arteries among other risk factors.

1. Describe how pigments in the chloroplast play a role in coloring the plant and in producing energy.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Hello There!!

Explanation:

The purpose of the chloroplast is to make sugars that feed the cell's machinery. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating glucose. When the energy from the Sun hits a chloroplast and the chlorophyll molecules, light energy is converted into the chemical energy.

hope this helps,have a great day!!

How does archbishop usshers work compare to that of james hutton
Nataly_w [17]

<span>James Ussher was a creative scholar, a church leader and became famous for his genuine letters of the church. He is the Archbishop of all Ireland and majorly impacted Reformation theology.  He is best known for his chronology research that concluded Adam was created in 4004 B.C. In reality, Ussher was a first-class scholar very involved in scholarly research. He regularly interacted with “the most learned men of the day” to intellectually savor their ideas. He was also “a real connoisseur of books,” and there was scarcely a book in any British library that he was unfamiliar with. While James Hutton is known as the Father of Modern Geology, Hutton is a Scottish Geologist and a naturalist who originated the concept of earth’s crust during geological history, which explains the features of the Earth's crust by means of natural processes over geologic time.  Hutton had formulated controversial theories of the origin of the earth and of atmospheric changes known as 'uniformitarian’s'. This paved the way for modern geological science.</span>

Lelu [443]

In McMillen and Austin’s research (1971), participants who had lied were more likely to volunteer a large amount of time.

Explanation:

The research work conducted by Mcmillen and Austin in the year 1971, included  college students as participants of the research. In this process they are asked to perform a small test of intelligence. One portion of them was asked to cheat and lie and the rest were left not to cheat.

After finishing the test, the participants were asked to help the administrator to conduct the next round of test for other slot of participants. It was seen that the students who did not lie or cheat, helped them in their work for about 2 minutes. But students, who did lie, stayed and helped for 53 minutes.
