Refer to the following diagram to help you answer questions [1-3]
1. SR pathway activation causes SR genes to be expressed
a. True
b. False
2. The addition of a drug that increases the binding a nity of transducer 1 to
transducer 2 results in the signaling pathway always being activated even in the
absence of a signaling molecule
a. True
b. False
3. A stem cell prematurely stops expressing the DIV and ID genes. Which of the
following could overcome this inhibition of differentiation?
a. A loss-of-function mutation in the neural pathway transducer 2
b. A gain-of-function mutation causing dimerization and autophosphorylation
of neural pathway receptor in the absence of the neural signal
