Question
Chapter 45.1, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference in the perception of stimulation due to the flavor of pepper and hotness of pepper.
Introduction:
The response in the body is generated due to the stimulation, which causes the opening or closing of the ion channels in the sensory cells. This causes the release of neurotransmitters or an action potential. Pepper stimulates both the taste receptors as well as the heat receptors and thus gives a spicy and a hot feeling on the tongue (Table 1).

Design a grafting experiment to determine if limb mesoderm determines forelimb / hindlimb identity. Include the experiment, a control, and an interpretation in your answer.
The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows:
aabb: yellow
AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red
AAbb and Aabb: orange
aaBB: yellow
aaBb: ?
Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?
Question 21 options:

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-haemoglobinarrow_forwardWith 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?

- Which ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The subunits are joined by disulphide bonds. Each subunit covalently binds a haem group. Conformational change in one subunit can be transmitted to another. There are many variant ("mutant") forms of haemoglobin that are not harmful.arrow_forwardWhich ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.
