As with all multicellular organisms, homeotic genes in plants control morphogenesis (how the tissues and organs of the plant are

arranged). in maize plants, the homeotic gene knotted1 (abbreviated kn1) maintain the indeterminate state of shoot apical meristems. in wild-type maize plants, kn1 is expressed at high levels in the shoot apical meristem, but is expressed at low levels in leaves. in some mutant maize plants, kn1 is expressed at high levels in leaves. in those plants, outgrowths or knots of adventitious shoot meristems (shoot meristems that appear in abnormal locations on the leaves) form. use this information to determine which of the following statements are true. select the four statements that are true.
a. expression of the kn1 gene in shoot apical meristem cells produces a protein involved in the maintenance of shoot apical meristems.
b. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is mostly expressed in shoot apical meristem cells.
c. in mutant maize leaves, the kn1 gene is mostly not expressed.
d. leaves of the mutant maize plants produce more kn1 protein than leaves of wild-type maize plants.
e. both the wild-type and mutant maize leaves have the same morphology.
f. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is present in shoot apical meristem cells, but not in leaf cells.
g. in wild-type maize plants, the kn1 gene is expressed diferentially in shoot apical meristem cels and leaf cells.

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

e. False

f. False

g. True

Explanation:

The homeotic genes refer to evolutionarily conserved genes that modulate the development of different structures in organisms of the same groups (in this case, plants).  Moreover, homeobox genes are genes that encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of development in eukaryotic organisms. The knotted1 (<em>kn1</em>) gene is a plant homeobox gene is a member of the <em>kn1</em> homeobox (<em>knox</em>) gene family, which is responsible for maintaining indeterminacy and preventing cellular differentiation. In maize, <em>kn1</em> plays a key role in maintaining the cells of the shoot apical meristem in an undifferentiated state, being mainly expressed in shoot meristems during postembryonic stages of shoot development. It has been observed that maize mutant plants where <em>kn1</em> is ectopically expressed (i.e., in tissues in which this gene is not normally expressed) exhibit proximal-distal patterning defects.

Answer: Alzheimer's disease causes proteins in the brain to become improperly folded.

Explanation:

The alzheimer disease is a brain disorder that destroys the memory and thinking skills in the affected patients.

The alzheimer disease is identified as the protein folding disease. It is due to the accumulation of abnormally folded protein called as amyloid beta protein present inside the brain of the alzheimer's patients. The function of this protein is unclear and it is assumed to be involved in the neuronal development.

Answer:

Phenotypic approach for bacterial identification

Explanation:

Bacterial identification can be done by conventional methods, which are based on phenotypical characteristics. These methods are much affordable and reasonable.

<u>Phenotypical identification</u> is based on bacteria´s observable characteristics, such as their morphology, development, and biochemical/metabolic properties.

It is important to consider that these methods do not provide absolute certainty. They can only indicate the genera or species to which the bacteria under study may belong.

Some primary evidence is usually used for fast bacteria identification:

  • Gram staining,
  • morphology,
  • growth at different media or different incubation atmospheres,
  • glucose fermentation,
  • spores production,
  • motion,
  • aerobiosis/anaerobiosis,
  • among others.  

Knowing that the bacteria in the exposed example was isolated and grown in culture, then Gram-stained and tested for biochemical reaction, we can assume that the approach for its identification is <u>phenotypic</u>.
