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).

The hardy-weinberg principle states that _____ in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool.
Reika [66]

Answer;

-Allele frequencies

The hardy-weinberg principle states that allele frequencies in a population do not change unless outside factors affect the gene pool.

Explanation;

Hardy-Weinberg principle  is a mathematical model that describes how genotype frequencies are established in sexually reproducing organisms.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be disturbed by a number of forces, including mutations, natural selection, nonrandom mating, genetic drift, and gene flow.

Each is a mini-ecosystems and a representation of much larger ecosystems found on earth. Describe in detail including plant life
leva [86]

Answer:

Each is a mini-ecosystems and a representation of much larger ecosystems found on earth. The mini ecosystem is the terrarium

Explanation:

A terrarium is the accumulation of small plants that are being grown in the transparent, or sealed container. It is a closed environment type and are mostly used to know how the ecosystem works within itself. Inside that small container, we can observe various natural processes like photosynthesis, respiration, as well as water cycle. Some small plants cannot adapt well in the home environment, so they can be grown in the terrarium. If they are properly planted and taken care of they can grow with minimum care. By this we can grow indoor plants with less care.

What can easily pass through the cell membrane?
Grace [21]

Answer:

i dont rlly get what ur asking but basically gasses diffues across the cell membrane from high conc to low concentration.

i dont know what passive transport is but active transport goes against the concentration gradient so im guessing passive is the opposite and goes with the conc gradient
