Darwin's finches are often used to illustrate evolution. Evaluate the finch beaks shown in the picture. Choose ALL of the statem

ents that correctly explain the evolution of finch beaks.
A) As the environment changed, the finches grew longer beaks to allow them to get food out of fruits.

B) Finches with longer beaks settled on the same island with smaller beaked birds. Over time, they bred, producing medium beaked birds that became more common in the population.

C) There are finches with different types of beaks in the population. During a drought, those with shorter beaks are not able to find sufficient food and die, leaving them unable to reproduce and pass the trait on to offspring.

D) A random mutation introduced the shorter, thicker beak into the population. However, those with thinner, longer beaks were better able to get nectar from the island's flowers. Those birds with the shorter, thicker beaks were unable to get enough food to survive.

E) A disease swept through the island killing many of the insects that were common on the island, leaving the birds who ate insects from the ground starving. The finches that had thicker beaks and could get food from tree bark were able to continue to survive and reproduce, increasing this trait in the population.

Which statement about control of glycogen metabolism is INCORRECT? Which statement about control of glycogen metabolism is INCOR
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Glycogen synthase is phosphorylated at only one site.

Explanation:

Glycogen synthase has multiple sites where phosphorylation can occur. Glycogen synthase may have 9 or more sites where it can be phosphorylated as a result of which it's activity is down regulated. It simply means that the regulation of this enzyme does not occur through binary on/off switching, in fact it's activity is modulated over a wide range in response to various signals.

In contrast to glycogen phosphorylase which gets activated when it is phosphorylated at it's serine residues, glycogen synthase gets inactivated by phosphorylation.

As soon as another enzyme GSK3β phosphorylates glycogen synthase, it gets inactivated as a result of which glycogen synthesis halts in the liver.

Disease resistant traits in wild plants and animals are helpful if these traits are present in our plants and animals in order to maintain its high quality. We can modify both our meat and plants with the help of selective breeding of high quality plants and animals. Due to selective breeding, we can achieve the desired characteristics through modification in our plants and animals.
