Question

Which option below does not represent a possible response of a cell in a signal transduction pathway?

Answer 1

Given what we know about cellular transduction pathways, we can confirm that the option which does not represent a possible response of this kind from a cell is option D, mutations to genetic material.

The Transduction pathway describes the ways in which a signal is passed through cells. This can be seen as a series of molecular events which include:

• Changes to membrane permeability
• Changes in metabolism
• Liberation of ions
• Activation or deactivation of gene expression

However, one process which is never the direct or intended result of a cellular signal transduction pathway is the mutation of genetic material. Though mutations can at times be beneficial to an organism and even to entire species, more often than not this is not the case. The cells of an organism will rarely seek to purposely mutate genetic material and even less so during such common processes like signal transduction.
