In a signal transduction pathway, fine tuning of the cellular response occurs in several steps. Which of the following best desc

ribes how the response would be affected if the molecular changes that occur during a signaling pathway lasted for a prolonged period?
Inactivation mechanisms would be triggered before the pathway could be completed.
Receptors would be unable to return to their inactive form and respond to new signals.
Scaffolding proteins would cause potentially harmful signal amplification in the cytosol.
Signaling proteins would be unable to take part in multiple pathways, as specificity is lost.

Answer: Receptors would be unable to return to their inactive form and respond to new signals.

Explanation:

Many signaling pathway involves the regulation of the protein synthesis. It involves the turning off or on of some of the specific genes present in the nucleus. If the receptors become unable to resume to the inactive form the may not be able to produce  new signals during protein synthesis. The final activated molecule in a signal pathway may not function as transcription factor.

Which type of symptoms negatively affect the intellectual functioning of an individual with schizophrenia?
White raven [17]
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder defined as chronic and severely debilitating as the patients usually are "lost in touch with reality."

Schizophrenia has both positive symptoms (added) and negative symptoms (lack of). Positive symptoms include hallucinations (<em>adding </em>unreal imagery) and uncontrollable thoughts. Negative symptoms include apathy <em />(<em>lack of </em>concern or enthusiasm), alogia (<em>lack of </em>speech), and blunted affect (<em>lack of </em>facial expression).

There are both physical and biological limiting factors found in nature.

-Physical factors (abiotic factors) include temperature, water availability, oxygen, salinity, light, food and nutrients.

-Biological factors (biotic factors) involve interactions between organisms such as predation, competition, parasitism and 
herbivory.

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution
grandymaker [24]

Hi!


The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.


In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process  which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.
