Chapter 29, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction

To label: The sensory receptor that receives stimuli from the environment and also list the responses they show in respect to stimuli.

Concept introduction:

Sensory receptors are the structures that send stimuli to brain after receiving it in response to changes in the environment. They convey the signal to neurons from the external or internal body. Sensory receptors are present on sensory organs, namely, eyes, skin, and ear.

CAMPBELL BIOLOGY:CONCEPTS+CONNECTIONS, Chapter 29, Problem 1CC

Fig.1: Shows the type of sensory receptors and their responses.

(a)

Correct answer: Mechanoreceptor.

Plasma membrane contains a mechanogated ion channel that opens or closes in response to the stimuli. When there is a pressure applied on the membrane by stretching or twisting, the channels get activated. For example, the tympanic wall present in the ear has a mechanogated ion channel, and it helps in hearing by transmission of sound vibration. Hence, the correct answer is mechanoreceptors.

(b)

Correct answer: Chemoreceptor.

Chemoreceptors have an autonomic control, and they get stimulated by the change in the chemical concentration in the environment. Generally, they are found in the nose and mouth. Hence, the correct answer is chemoreceptors.

(c)

Correct answer: Light.

Electromagnetic receptors involve photoreceptor and thermoreceptor. Photoreceptors covert light into an electromagnetic stimulus and send it to the brain for phototransduction. Hence, the correct answer is light.

(d)

Correct answer: Electricity.

Some organisms have the ability to detect electrical energy; their electroreceptors receive the stimulus and send it to the brain for detection. For example, sharks can detect electricity that is generated by any muscular activity. Hence, the correct answer is electricity.

(e)

Correct answer: Magnetism.

Electromagnetic receptors sense the magnetic field in the environment. Birds use the magnetic field of the Earth in navigation when they migrate. Hence, the correct answer is magnetism.

(f)

Correct answer: Hair cells.

Hair cells have mechanoreceptors that generate an electrical stimulus upon stretching or when the cell feels any pressure; for example, hair cells present in the ear have receptors that detect head movement and sound. Hence, the correct answer is hair cells.

(g)

Correct answer: Photoreceptor.

Photoreceptors are present in the retina of the eye and receive the stimulus from light. Photoreceptors convert light into electric signal and send it to the brain for visual transduction. Hence, the correct answer is photoreceptor.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
a. What percentage of a drug is eliminated after 4 half-lives? Please round to the nearest percent.  b. What will happen to elimination of the drug in the previous question if the system is saturated? explain and show any math involved
