BLINK protein speeds up stomatal movements in response to light fluctuations resulting in improved plant growth and water use.
Plants can't move, so their “blinking” helps protect them from burning or bleaching when they are in bright sun.
I'm not sure if the first part is right, but I do know the second part is.  
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is  the formation of pyruvate from glucose willl be energetically less favorable.
Explanation:
According to the question matunt yeast has a shorter glycolytic pathay catalysing a follwing reaction 
   Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate+H2O+NAD+  = 3-phosphoglycerate 
So in the mutatant the formation of 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is directly converted into 3-phosphoglycerate.
     As a result the substrate level phosphorylation step that deals with formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3  bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.
   From this point of view it can be said that less energy will be formed in the mutant during glycolysis than that of normal one.
  So the formation of pyruvate from glucose will be energetically less favorable.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The correct statements are:
•An NLS can be a monopartite or bipartite signal which includes a significant number of basic amino acids.
• The recycling of importins back to their original conformation requires GTP hydrolysis in the cytoplasm.
The other answers are incorrect because GTP is not required for an importin to bind to an NLS but for the release of importin and an NES or nuclear export signal  is the sequence  in a protein for export from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm, not to the nucleolus.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Due to the large number of fossils being discovered at that time Darwin proposed that species change over long periods of time.
Explanation:
The theory of Darwin was that the species change in accordance to their environment, thus they develop advantageous traits so that they can be more competitive.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Gene therapy is used to correct defective genes in order to cure a disease or help your body better fight disease. Researchers are investigating several ways to do this, including: Replacing mutated genes. Some cells become diseased because certain genes work incorrectly or no longer work at all
