Two protein kinases, PK1 and PK2, work sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway.You create cells that contain inactiva

ting mutations in the genes that encode either PK1 or PK2 and find that these cells no longer respond to a particular extracellular signal.You also create cells containing a version of PK1 that is permanently active and find that the cells behave as though they are receiving the signal even when the signal is not present.When you introduce the permanently active version of PK1 into cells that have an inactivating mutation in PK2, you find that these cells also behave as though they are receiving the signal even when no signal is present.
A.From these results, does PK1 activate PK2, or does PK2 activate PK1? Explain your answer.
B.You now create a permanently active version of PK2 and find that cells containing this version behave as though they are receiving the signal even when the signal is not present.What do you predict will happen if you introduce the permanently active version of PK2 into cells that have an inactivating mutation in PK1?

Answer:

a. PK2 activates PK1

b. no response would be produced

Explanation:

Kinases are enzymes known to phosphorylate different substrates, thereby activating/inactivating them. In this case, a mutation that produces a constitutively (permanently) active PK1 kinase is itself able to continue the signaling pathway, independently of whether or not PK2 is present. This constitutive mutation shows that PK1 is recruited to continue signaling events within the cell and, therefore, PK1 activation is downstream in the signaling pathway. Conversely, cells containing active PK2 and inactive PK1 would be unable to continue the signaling pathway since PK2 activation is upstream of the induction of PK1, and thereby these cells cannot respond to the signal (PK2 activation).

If all fungi in an environment that perform decomposition were to suddenly die, then which group of organisms should benefit mos
Nata [24]

Answer:

prokaryotes

Explanation:

Prokaryotics will be the next group after fungus that will benefit if all the fungus were to die a sudden death.

As the protist group consist of mostly disease causing organisms and plants are one that take the benefit from the decomposed material while animals are the those that feed on organisms from first and second tropic level.

Prokaryotes mostly have single celled organisms such as bacteria which help in decomposition of the organic waste left by the higher organisms

Wewaii [24]

The correct answer is B. Genetics

Explanation:

In health, a risk factor is a variable that can make a patient more likely to develop a disease or condition. Additionally, some of these factors can be controlled or changed by the patient, while others cannot be modified. Factors that can be controlled include stress, diet, weight, alcohol intake, and habits. This does not apply to factors such as age or genetics, for example, in the case of genetics, this is determined by the genes of each parent when a human being is formed, and therefore there is not any way to change this; although factors such as diet, stress, or smoking affect the expression of mutations in genes. Thus, the risk factor Jack has no control over is genetics.

A two-trait occurs when an individual has two dominant alleles but it is not possible to determine if that individual is homozyg
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

This statement refers to Test Cross.

Explanation:

Generally a Test cross involving an individual with a homozygous recessive trait . When a single trait is being studies, a test cross is a cross between an individual with the dominant phenotype but of unknown genotype (either homozygous or heterozygous) with a homozygous recessive individual. If the unknown is heterozygous for a trait, then approximately half of the offspring will display the recessive phenotype. If all the offspring carry dominant phenotype, Then the unknown genotype is homozygous.
