A patient has a variety of cellular problems, including proteins in the endomembrane system going to the wrong locations, and no synthesis of estrogen or testosterone. Identify the organelle-symptom pair that is defective.
A. The protein location problem is associated with the Golgi apparatus and the lack of testosterone production is an issue with the rough ER.
B. A problem in the rough ER is responsible for the protein location problem, and a problem in the smooth ER is responsible for the estrogen and testosterone problem.
C. A problem in the smooth ER is responsible for the protein location problem, and an issue in the Golgi apparatus is responsible for the production of estrogen and testosterone.
D. Protein sorting normally occurs in the peroxisomes and is not functioning properly, and a damaged rough ER cannot produce estrogen and testosterone.
B. A problem in the rough ER is responsible for the protein location problem, and a problem in the smooth ER is responsible for the estrogen and testosterone problem.

Your friends, who own a large citrus orchard, invited you to have dinner yesterday, and when you arrived, you found they had prepared a veritable feast on their patio. While dining, you discovered that the trees providing shade from the evening sun bore a variety of citrus fruit, including lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit – not on separate trees, as you would expect, but rather each of those trees were heavy with two or more types of citrus fruit each. One of your friends, noticing your amazement, laughed and said, “We planted fruit-salad seeds.” Obviously, that’s not the explanation, but how else could they have created their small fruit-salad canopy?
a. Lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit are the same fruit grown with exposure to various hormones. b. Pollen from multiple species are able to cross-fertilize, producing multiple unique fruit on each tree. c. Citrus trees are closely related, allowing for scions of multiple species to be grafted together. d. Blending together calluses from related plant species allows for the growth of chimerical plants.
