What hypotheses have been proposed to explain how prions evolve? Select the TWO answers that are correct.
a. When the environment changes, one of the less common variants in a prion population may be able to better spread and become the dominant type of prion.
b. Prions respond to environmental changes by bonding with other prion variants in the population and potentially forming new variants able to handle the change.
c. Changes in the environment change the shape of some prions, possibly producing a variant that is better able to tolerate the change than the original type of prion.
d.Environmental changes cause some prions to break into small segments that may be better able than larger prions to survive and reproduce in the new environment.
Answer:
b. Prions respond to environmental changes by bonding with other prion variants in the population and potentially forming new variants able to handle the change.
d.Environmental changes cause some prions to break into small segments that may be better able than larger prions to survive and reproduce in the new environment.
Explanation:
The first hypothesis that tried to explain how prions replicate in a protein-only manner was the heterodimer model. This model assumed that a single PrPSc molecule binds to a single PrPC molecule and catalyzes its conversion into PrPSc. The two PrPSc molecules then come apart and can go on to convert more PrPC.
prion hypothesis states that the misfolded prion protein, rather than virus or bacteria, is the infectious agent that results in the transmission of prion disease.

Explanation:
Mr. Walker plants a new plant next to a tall tree in his yard. It is partly in the sun, but is mostly in the shade He notices that it is
growing with all of its leaves on one side. Why is the plant growing this way?
A.It is dying
B.It is trying to get sunlight.
C.It is trying to stay in the shade.
B.It wants to be closer to the tree.
Answer:
B. it's trying to get sunlight.
(D. is plausible too)
Explanation:
Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, so they tend to act towards the sunlight (phototropism)
Mr. Walker's plant is growing with all its leaves on one side to reach more sunlight, which is a response called phototropism, influenced by the hormone auxin aiding in maximizing photosynthesis.
Mr. Walker's plant is exhibiting a common response to its light environment known as phototropism, which is the growth of a plant in the direction of its light source. Since the plant is mostly in the shade due to a tall tree, it grows toward the area where it can receive more light. In more scientific terms, this is caused by the plant hormone auxin, which redistributes on the shaded side of the plant, causing those cells to elongate more and thus bending the plant toward the light. This adaptation helps the plant maximize its photosynthesis capabilities by increasing the exposure of its leaves to sunlight. Plants in different light conditions, such as full light or shade, may also exhibit different growth characteristics, with sun-loving plants having reduced leaf area and thicker leaves, and shade plants showing the opposite traits.

Chymotrypsin has three residues in the active site: His-57, Asp-102, and Ser 195. To evaluate the importance of Ser-195 for the enzymatic activity, this amino acid residue is replaced by another amino acid. Predict what changes you expect in the activity of the enzyme in the following three different mutant enzymes. In every case, explain your answer (5 p each).
A) Ser-195 to Thr
B) Ser-195 to Cys
C) Ser-195 to Ala
Answer:
Explanation:
A serine protease that breaks the peptide bond in the protein at the carboxy terminal of aromatic amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine is known as Chymotrypsin.
Three amino acids form a catalytic triad: aspartate, histidine and serine.
Histidine acts as a general acid base catalyst, and it is stabilized by Aspartate, while serine provides the nucleophile in form of oxygen that attacks on the carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond to form a tetrahedral intermediate.
Since serine has a hydroxyl (-OH) group and the bond between oxygen and hydrogen is removed by histidine which acts a general base catalyst and accepts the proton. This makes the oxygen in the hydroxyl group nucleophilic and it binds with carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond. This function can be replaced by any other amino acid which can produce a nucleophile.
A) Threonine has a hydroxyl group. Just like serine, the bond between oxygen and hydrogen is broken due to the acceptance of protons by histidine. Here, also oxygen in the hydroxyl group become negatively charged species, hence a nucleophile that can attack on the carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond.
B) Cysteine has thiol (-SH) group. Here, similar to serine and threonine, when histidine, acting as a general base, will accept the protons, the Sulphur (S) in cysteine will become negatively charged and act as a nucleophile. It can then attack the carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond to be cleaved.
Similar to serine, threonine and cysteine also have polar side chain so they can produce nucleophile and can replace the serine residue in the active site.
C) Alanine has a non polar side chain containing a methyl group. This methyl group being non polar is not able to produce a nucleophile specie when histidine acting as a general base catalyst tries to extract proton from methyl. No nucleophile is produced and it fails to attack the carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond, therefore no peptide bond is broken.

16-16: In a series of experiments, genes that code for mutant forms of an RTK are introduced into cells. The cells also express their own normal form of the receptor from their normal gene, although the mutant genes are constructed so that the mutant RTK is expressed at considerably higher concentration than the normal RTK. What would be the consequences of introducing a mutant gene that codes for an RTK (A) lacking its extracellular domain, or (B) lacking its intracellular domain
Answer:
Kinase-connected receptors or receptor tyro-sine kinases react for the most part to protein and chemical go between. A solitary trans membrane helix interfaces the extracellular restricting area to the intra-cellular space. e.g. insulin, development factors. The official of the ligand triggers the commencement of a few succession of occasions related with phosphorylation of proteins, this is called protein kinase course.
For instance, the official of development hormone to the receptor in the plasma layer causes dimerization (by the actuation of Janus kinase 2, JAK2) of the receptor (conformation change) that bring about auto-phosphorylation of tyro-sine buildups. The official of SH2-space (src homology) protein (Grb-2) to the phosphorylated tyro-sine buildups invigorates cell development through a course of protein phosphorylation.
a). RTKs are the trans-membrane receptors, which have a ligand restricting site on the extracellular area and tyro-sine authoritative on the intra-cellular space. In the event that it comes up short on the extracellular area, the ligand can't tie to the receptor site, so no cell reaction happens.
b). On the off chance that it does not have the intra-cellular space, the ligand can tie to the receptor site, the receptor can't impart signs tot eh intra-cellular area because of the absence of intra-cellular space.
Answer:
(A) lacking its extracellular domain:
RTK receptors can bind to the ligand, this phenomenon leads to a decrease in the rate of molecular interaction between receptors and ligands.
(B) lacking its intracellular domain:
RTK receptors can not bind to the ligand and therefore they are inactive, this phenomenon doesn't have effects on the receptor-ligand interaction mechanism

Final answer:
The liver is the largest gland in the human body and has multiple functions in metabolism. It is involved in carbohydrate metabolism by carrying out processes like gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and glycogenesis, as well as the breakdown of hormones.
Explanation:
As the largest gland in the body, the liver assumes a pivotal role in maintaining overall metabolic equilibrium. Beyond its sheer size, this vital organ serves a multitude of functions crucial for bodily functions. In the realm of carbohydrate metabolism, the liver orchestrates intricate processes such as gluconeogenesis, the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources; glycogenolysis, the breakdown of glycogen into glucose for immediate energy needs; and glycogenesis, the storage of excess glucose as glycogen for future use.
Moreover, the liver plays a key role in hormonal regulation by breaking down insulin and various other hormones, contributing to the finely tuned orchestration of metabolic activities. This multifaceted involvement in metabolic processes underscores the liver's significance as a dynamic organ essential for maintaining homeostasis and ensuring the seamless functioning of the body's diverse physiological pathways.
Science is seldom advanced in isolation. Watson and Crick could not have arrived at their model of the helix without discovery of the structure of and how they are linked together, X-ray crystallography data, or biochemical analysis of the molar proportions of in double-stranded .
Answer:
Correct question= What does the history behind the elucidation of secondary structure of DNA tell you about the role of the scientific community in advancing science? Were Watson and Crick solely responsible?
Explanation
The earlier discovery of nucleotide sequence and base pairing by Levene formed the basis of later discovery and formulation of double Helix DNA structure by Waston and Crick. Thus Levene work contributed to discovery of DNA double helix structure of Waston and Crick
In addition earlier work of Franklin on X-ray crystallography data, and comprehensive research on biochemical analysis of ,molecular proportion of nucleotide by Chargaff, were another supporting bedrock on which Waston and Crick built their discovery of double helix structure of DNA.
Evidently most scientific discoveries were usually arrived at from the earlier work or discoveries, and rarely in isolation.

It's estimated that over 99 percent of the species that have existed on Earth at some point in time are extinct today.
Coevolution implies that the evolution of one species is dependent on and works in relation to the evolution of another species. This may cause positive or negative impacts and could be beneficial to both organisms or only to one.
This theory states that the first building block of life that allowed for reproduction of organisms was the development of self-replicating RNA. This hasn't been able to be fully demonstrated in any science experiment but is based on the idea that there are RNAs that can catalyze biochemical reactions on their own without proteins.
This process points to the development of structures through the envelopment of smaller cells that perform specific functions. This is how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells.
This experiment was important because it showed that, in the right primordial soup, organic compounds could develop from inorganic compounds.

What do you mean by coevolution, abiogenesis and endosymbiont theory?Coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection. The term sometimes is used for two traits in the same species affecting each other's evolution, as well as gene-culture coevolution.
Abiogenesis or the origin of life is the natural process by which life has arisen from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds.
The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells and divide by binary fission. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA which is circular, not linear.

Suppose that you have just started a summer internship working for a cooperative service, where you will collect soil samples, conduct laboratory and field tests, and make recommendations on soil conservation and agricultural practices.
(i) Identify one biome that is characterized by soil that is rich in humus. Describe how humus originated in the soil of this biome and TWO ways that humus improves conditions for plant growth.
(ii) Describe TWO soil conservation practices that are designed to decrease soil erosion. *
Answer: seen below
Explanation:
I) Deciduous forest: is an example of a biome (a biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat) it's seasonal/tropical and temperate.
Humus which is an organic component of soil originated here because of plant and animal materials decomposition on the forest. Two ways humus improves soil conditions includes;
a) by providing fertility or nutrients for plants and soil organisms.
b) humus also helps the topsoil hold water.
II) Two soil conservation practices that decreases erosion include;
a) Conservation tillage, minimizes the number of tillage passes, where the soil aggregate disruption is reduced, and a minimum of 30% of the soil surface covered with residues, and this aims to reduce by disturbing the soil as little as possible when planting crops.
b) Terracing or division terrace, this helps by shaping the land to create level shelves of earth to decrease soil and water runoff, thereby decreasing erosion.
Statement: Allopatric models of speciation follow Occam’s Razor in the sense that they require minimal assumptions to allow populations to evolve separate traits. For example, once populations are separate, only a single simple process like drift is necessary to drive differentiation (phenetic concept), evolution of novel characters (phylogenetic concept), or even permanent breeding barriers (biological species concept). It doesn’t mean that other factors don’t participate (e.g., selection, mutation), but it doesn’t require them.Sympatric models (which don’t physically separate populations) require more assumptions, usually needing to invoke at least two additional assumptions. These are usually:A) That sister species are each other's closest relative.B) Selection against hybrids and assortative mating.C) Ploidy level shifts
Answer:
B) Selection against cross breeds and assortative mating.
C) Ploidy level movements
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is typically known as troublesome determination, a kind of common choice wherein two particular varieties in an attribute are supported rather than a transitional type of the characteristic. This speciation mostly happens through polyploidy, in which a posterity or gathering of posterity will be delivered with double the ordinary number of chromosomes.

As energy is transferred through
an ecosystem, not all trophic
levels receive the same amount.
The diagram shows a marine
ecosystem. Which leopard seal
prey is the most efficient energy
transfer for this ecosystem? *
In a marine ecosystem, the leopard seal's most efficient prey from an energy transfer viewpoint would be the organism closest to it in the trophic level - likely fish or penguins. This is because less energy is lost to the environment each time it moves up a trophic level.
Explanation:In a marine ecosystem, it's important to remember that energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next with a general efficiency of about 10%. This means that for a leopard seal, the prey that would provide the most efficient energy transfer would likely be the one closest to it in the food chain.
Let's say the leopard seal's potential prey includes krill, fish, and penguins. The krill, being primary consumers that eat producers (like phytoplankton), would have the most energy available. Next would be the fish that eat the krill, and then the penguins - secondary and tertiary consumers respectively.
Therefore, the most efficient prey for a leopard seal, from an energy transfer perspective, would be the one closest to it in trophic level - likely the fish or the penguins. This is because less energy is lost to the environment as it moves up each trophic level.
