- What is humification?arrow_forwardTwo groups of participants read a description of a person called Mark, who was described as shy, introverted and good at mathematics. They were asked how likely each of the following statements were: a) That Mark is male; and b) That Mark is male and works as a software engineer. The group rated b) as more likely than a). In reality a) is more likely than b) because given his name, Mark has a very high probability of being a man. The combined probability of him being both a man and a software engineer must of course be lower.

- What is the concerted model for allosteric behavior?arrow_forwardThese results show how many cells of each type of yeast showed mating structures after being exposed to three different yeast mating pheromones. For each yeast cell type, a group of 1000 cells were given the Wild Type-created pheromone. Then, another group of 1000 cells were given the Variant 1-created pheromone, and then another group of 1000 cells were given Variant 2-created pheromone. The same concentration of pheromone was given to each group. After 48 hours, the cells were observed. Cells that had differentiated by showing mating structures were counted. A) Identify a signaling molecule from the model presented. Explain how receptors play a role in cell differentiation. B) Identify the dependent variable and two controls the experimenters used when conducting this experiment. C) Evaluate if the number of Variant 1-Type cells with mating projections was significantly different from those of the Wild Type. Use chi-square analysis.
