a.
To determine: What is signal and receptor.
Introduction: A process through which the plants convert their plastids and etioplast that are present inside its chloroplast is known as de-etiolation. The plants that have undergone etiolation process would be growing in complete darkness and are generally thin, long and whilte in color.
a.

Explanation of Solution
In the process of de-etiolation, signal is light and the receptor is a phytochrome, a blue pigment that is present in the cytosol.
b.
To determine: The important steps that are involved in the process of transduction of the signal.

b.

Explanation of Solution
The phytochrome pigment is activated by light. This activated phytochrome triggers atleast two signal pathways. One pathway results in the production of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). The other pathway results in the increase of cytosolic calcium or Ca2+ levels. Both the pathways activate specific kinases enzymes. Some of them might activates several transcription factors that change the expression of genes.
c.
To determine: What is the growth response of plants and proteins involved in the plant’s growth response.
Introduction: Light is significant for the growth of the plants, however, it is essential to direct the growth as well as the development of plants. Sunlight serves as the signal to initiate and regulate the process of photomorphogenesis and photoperiodism. The two-light systems that play a major in the growth responses are the red light sensitive system and the blue light sensitive system.
c.

Explanation of Solution
The growth response of a plant is generally dependent on the stimulus or light. Changes in the plant such as the expansion of leaves, elongation of roots as well as the slowing of stem part elongation are collectively known as the growth response of the plants. In the de-etiolation process, levels of growth-regulating hormones are altered and the production of new enzymes is activated. This activation leads to the production of chlorophyll or the photosynthesis process.
The proteins that are involved in the growth responses are auxin (protein for expansion), cytokinin (protein for mitosis), and cytokin (protein for apoptosis).

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
