EXAM STUDY MATERIALS July 24, 2024 1:33:58 PM BS 161 Final Exam Questions And Answers. Verified and Updated In yeast signal transduction, the yeast cells A)secrete molecules that result in response by other yeast cells. B)must physically and directly interact. C)produce signal molecules that change themselves so they can interact with one another. D)produce response molecules that diffuse to other yeast cells. E)mate, after which the new cells secrete hybrid signals. - answer✔✔A Which of the following is true for the signaling system in an animal cell that lacks the ability to produce GTP? A)It would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger. B)It could activate only the epinephrine system. C)It would not be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. D)It would use ATP instead of GTP to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. E)It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal. - answe r✔✔C Because most receptors are membrane proteins, which of the following is usually true? A)They open and close in response to protein signals. B)They change their conformation after binding with signal polypeptides. C)They are only attached to one mem brane surface: exterior or interior. D)They preferentially bind with lipid or glycolipid signal molecules. E)They lead to changes in intracellular ion concentration. - answer✔✔B EXAM STUDY MATERIALS July 24, 2024 1:33:58 PM Since steroid receptors are located intracellularly, which of the following is true? A)The receptor molecules are themselves lipids or glycolipids. B)The steroid/receptor complex can cross the nuclear membrane. C)The receptor molecules are free to move in and out of most organelles. D)The unbound steroid receptors are quickly recycled by lysosomes. E)The concentration of steroid receptors must be relatively high in most cells. - answer✔✔B The receptors for a group of signaling molecules known as growth factors are often A)cyclic AMP. B)ligand -gated ion channels. C)neurotran smitters. D)receptor tyrosine kinases. E)G protein -coupled receptors. - answer✔✔D Binding of a signaling molecule to which type of receptor leads directly to a change in the distribution of ions on opposite sides of the membrane? A)phosphorylated recep tor tyrosine kinase dimer B)ligand -gated ion channel C)G protein -coupled receptor D)intracellular receptor E)receptor tyrosine kinase - answer✔✔B If an adult person has a faulty version of the human analog to ced -4 of the nematode, which of the following is most likely to result? A)activation of a developmental pathway found in the worm but not in humans B)webbing of fingers or toes C)a form of cancer in which there is insufficient apoptosis D)neurodegeneration E)excess skin exfoliation - answer✔✔C A drug designed to inhibit the response of cells to testosterone would almost certainly result in EXAM STUDY MATERIALS July 24, 2024 1:33:58 PM which of the following? A)an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration B)an increase in receptor tyrosine kinase activity C)lower cytoplasmic levels of cAMP D)a decrease in G protein activity E)a decrease in transcriptional activity of certain genes - answer✔✔E Which of the following is a correct association? A)GTPase activity and hydrolysis of GTP to GDP B)adenylyl cyclase activity and the conversion of cAMP to AMP C)phosphorylase activity and the catabolism of glucose D)phosphodiesterase activity and the removal of phosphate groups E)kinase activity and the addition of a tyrosine - answer✔✔A An inhibitor of which of the following could b e used to block the release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum? A)tyrosine kinases B)adenylyl cyclase C)serine/threonine kinases D)phosphodiesterase E)phospholipase C - answer✔✔E Which of the following most likely would be an immediate result of growth factor binding to its receptor? A)protein kinase activity B)phosphorylase activity C)GTPase activity D)protein phosphatase E)adenylyl cyclas eactivity - answer✔✔A Barbara McClin tock, who achieved fame for discovering that genes could move within genomes, EXAM STUDY MATERIALS July 24, 2024 1:33:58 PM had her meticulous work ignored for nearly four decades, but eventually won the Nobel Prize. Why was her work so distrusted? A)She worked only with maize, which was considered "merely" a plant. B)Geneticists did not want to lose their cherished notions of DNA stability. C)She allowed no one else to duplicate her work. D)The work of women scientists was still not allowed to be published. E)There were too many alternative exp lanations for transposition. - answer✔✔B Which of the following is a representation of gene density? A)Humans have ~20,000 genes in 2,900 Mb. B)C. elegans has ~20,000 genes. C)Fritillaria has a genome 40 times the size of a human. D)Humans have 27,000 bp in introns. E)Humans have 2,900 Mb per genome. - answer✔✔A If humans have 2,900 Mb, a specific member of the lily family has 120,000 Mb, and a yeast has ~13 Mb, why can't this data allow us to order their evolutionary significance? A)Size is mostly due to "junk" DNA. B)Size does not vary with gene complexity. C)Size does not compare to gene density. D)Size is comparable only within phyla. E)Size matters less than gene density. - answer✔✔B Fragments of DNA have been extracted from the remnants of ext inct woolly mammoths, amplified, and sequenced. These can now be used to A)appreciate the reasons why mammoths went extinct. B)introduce into relatives, such as elephants, certain mammoth traits. C)clone live woolly mammoths. D)study the relationships among woolly mammoths and other wool -producers. E)understand the evolutionary relationships among members of related taxa - answer✔✔E
