Chapter 30.4, Problem 10SAQ
Summary Introduction

To draw:

A phylogenetic tree that illustrates an “escape and radiate” pattern of diversification for plants that evolve novel defenses.

Introduction:

The phylogenetic history involves the study of DNA sequences of the different varieties of the milkweed plants. The significance includes the analysis of genes which provide the defense mechanisms to these plants. These plants secrete a secretion from the leaves which are eaten by the monarch butterflies leading to the development of the species with resistance to this plant. This leads to the development of more population of the species of insects like butterflies.

Fig.1: The diversification of different species of the milkweed species.

Explanation:

The development of species of the milkweeds has taken place in the evolutionary history. These plants have resin canals or ducts which secrete a chemical. The resin canal or duct is absent in many species of the milkweeds as revealed in the experimental study which indicated that the diversification of these plants have taken place as depicted in the phylogenetic classification.

The DNA analysis of the genes revealed the significance and importance of these defense secretions in plants. The leaves of these plants are eaten by the larvae of monarch butterfly which explains the evolution of more varieties of milkweeds with fewer secretions of cardenolides and less number of latex or resin canals. This has explained the pattern of escape and adaptive radiation.

Conclusion

The phylogenetic tree that explains the “escape and radiate” pattern of the diversification of milkweed plants that evolve novel defenses includes the development of new varieties with less number of latex or resin canals and less number of cardenolides.

A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.

With reference to their absorption spectra of the oxy haemoglobin intact line) and deoxyhemoglobin (broken line) shown in Figure 2 below, how would you best explain the reason why there are differences in the major peaks of the spectra? Figure 2. SPECTRA OF OXYGENATED AND DEOXYGENATED HAEMOGLOBIN OBTAINED WITH THE RECORDING SPECTROPHOTOMETER 1.4 Abs < 0.8 06 0.4 400 420 440 460 480 500 520 540 560 580 600 nm 1. The difference in the spectra is due to a pH change in the deoxy-haemoglobin due to uptake of CO2- 2. There is more oxygen-carrying plasma in the oxy-haemoglobin sample. 3. The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5. Oxy-haemoglobin absorbs more light of blue wavelengths and less of red wavelengths than deoxy-haemoglobin
