The IRT1 gene is responsible for most of the iron uptake activity in roots (Vert et al., Plant Cell 14 [2002]:1223—33)
To determine the specificity of the IRT1 transporter in Arabidopsis plants, researchers measured the concentration of manganese, zinc, copper, and cobalt contained in wild-type and irt1-1 mutant plants. What conclusions about IRT1 specificity can you draw from the above data? A) Under iron-deficient conditions, IRT1 is highly specific for iron. B) Under iron-deficient conditions, IRT1 is important for the transport of iron and copper. C) IRT1 is important for the transport of iron and copper independent of iron concentration. D) Under iron-deficient conditions, IRT1 is necessary for the transport of iron, zinc, manganese, and cobalt. E) IRT1 participates in the transport of iron, zinc, manganese, and cobalt independent of iron concentration.
During neuronal signaling, a change in membrane potential will cause sodium channels to open and let Na+ ions diffuse down their concentration gradient into the cell. Which of the following helps establish the concentration gradient necessary for this process to occur?
A. Na+/K+ channel B. voltage-gated Na+ channel C. Na+ symporter D. Na+/K+ pump
Normal fruit flies have red eyes. Flies with mutations that block the function of the X-linked white gene have white eyes. The wild-type allele is completely dominant to mutant alleles. A white-eyed female fruit fly is mated to a red-eyed male. One of their hundreds of female progeny is white-eyed. This white-eyed daughter likely arose from nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes during ________ in the ________.
A) meiosis I; mother B) meiosis II; mother C) meiosis I; father D) meiosis II; father E) meiosis I or II; mother
