Question
Chapter 11, Problem 15PIAT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Suggest a hypothesis explaining the limitation of growth to the region where signal receptors are activated during cellular response to pheromone signaling.
Introduction:
Hypothesis is a predicted or proposed explanation of a test based on evidence or earlier studies and needs to be further tested before arriving at any conclusion. In this study, it is provided that cellular response to pheromone signaling includes assembly of microfilaments that direct growth toward the signal source. Considering this fact hypothesize and examine the growth effect when signal receptors are activated during cellular response to pheromone signaling.

- Instruction: Propose a hypothesis for the given scenario below. Please answer here directly. Also, support your answer with scientific bases. Female silkworm moths (Bombyx mori) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. A male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. The sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comb like antennae visible in the photograph shown here. Each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. Based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. What predictions does your hypothesis make?arrow_forwardConsider a plant that is exposed to extreme cold temperatures.
