3) The sex of some reptiles, including the American alligator, is determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. For example, incubating them at 33°C produces mostly males, while incubation at 30°C produces mostly females.Scientists recently discovered a thermosensor protein, TRPV4, that is associated with this process in American alligators. TRPV4 is activated by temperatures near the mid-30s, and increases the movement of calcium ions into certain cells involved with sex determination. The results of this scientific investigation will most likely lead other scientists to hypothesize that * human sex cells also contain the TRPV4 protein 0) the TRPV4 protein affects the growth of plants other reptiles may have the TRPV4 protein in their eggs the TRPV4 protein is present in all of the foods eaten by alligators

The human genome contains more than 20 connexin-encoding genes. Several of these genes are expressed in high levels in the heart. Why are connexins so highly expressed in cardiac tissue?
Can I get help on creating a concept map for the Introduction provided below? The development of a multicellular organ (such as the brain) from stem cells involves complicated processing.1,2 Proliferating stem cells undergo the fate decision process before developing into tissues or organs. This process is controlled and regulated by a signaling pathway network (called gene regulatory network).3 The network comprises pathways created by the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the cells, which form the signal transduction to control stem cell fate. There are various signal pathways that have been discovered and studied for tissue development and patterning, including Wnt signaling,4 Notch, and receptor tyrosine kinase.5–7 It has been suggested that cross-regulatory interactions between elements of the pathways (e.g., Wnt and Notch) affect the process of cell fate assignment.8,9 Most components of Wnt signaling have multiple interactions with other signaling pathways (e.g., Hippo/YAP and…
APC is a tumor suppressor and acts in the Wnt signaling pathway to prevent the TCF complex from turning on Wnt-responsive genes. Mice that lack the gene encoding TCF4 do not have the ability to maintain the pool of proliferating gut stem cells needed to renew the gut lining. What do you predict will happen in mice that lack the APC gene?
Mutations to SRP72 (the RNA component of the signal recognition particle) are known to cause some forms of familial bone marrow failure.

The G-protein Ras is involved in proliferative signaling, and is mutated is a large fraction of human cancers. Almost all mutations in Ras mutate the glycine at codon 12. These mutations lock Ras in an active conformation. How will the GTPase activity of a Ras protein with a G12 mutation compare to a normal Ras protein without the mutation? (10 words maximum)

Mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene results in achondroplasia (dwarfism), which is a dominant condition caused by a single base substitution (GGG>AGG) that changes the amino acid glycine at position 480 to arginine (G480R) in the FGFR protein. FGFR is normally active when FGF binds to it, but the mutant FGFR is always on to stimulate signaling that inhibits excessive bone growth. How can gene therapy be used to treat achondroplasia? Select all that apply.

2) This diagram shows the signaling pathway involved in transducing extracellular matrix (ECM) signals to induce S-phase progression. Briefly: ECM (shown in green) binds to and activate integrins which bind to and activate Ras which binds to and activate Raf which binds to and activate MEK, which.... etc (you get the idea) until Erk activates cyclinD which the form a complex with CDK4/6. For the purpose of this problem, we consider that the signals provided by the ECM through this pathway are necessary and sufficient for the cell to enter S phase. Erk Integrin Erk Ras Raf MEK Cyclin D Cyclin D CDK4/6 S phase A) In your studies of the cell cycle, you isolated a new cell line called mutRAS2 cells. Unlike normal wild type cells, you find that Ras is always bound to GTP in mutRAS2 cells. Describe how the cell cycle differs between mutRAS2 cells and normal cells when ECM is not present. Explain your reasoning: B) In another mutant cell (named mutCD2), you found that a cyclinD mutation…
