Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of an increase in expression level of oxytocin and vasopressin on behavior of montane voles.
Introduction:
Oxytocin and vasopressin are peptide hormones released from brain when the voles mate where oxytocin is released in females and vasopressin is released in males. The peptides are released into the bloodstream and bind to specific cell receptors found in higher concentration in cells of the brain, which control bonding and caring behavior.

Serotonin has been shown to be sufficient to trigger the development of the gregarious form of the migratory desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria). What predictions must have been tested to arrive at this conclusion? You should know that you can inject serotonin as well as drugs that disable serotonin directly into nymphal locusts.

Which of the following are the correct order of steps needed for guard cells to respond to ligth?
Select one:
O a. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and open
O b. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and close
O c. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons out, protons escort chloride ions in, water follows the ions (lower
water potential), guard cells become turgid and open
O d. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons in, water follows the protons (lower water potential and
concentration gradient), guard cells become turgid and close

After your university takes most of that money for overhead costs, you now have a small amount left over to spend on peacock spider research over the next 3 years. What is the first question that you would focus on that you think would increase our understanding of peacock spider male displays the most? State a relevant hypothesis and explain briefly how you would go about testing it.arrow_forwardWhen a single celled slime mold has run out of food source, the cell will initiate the cell signaling process that results in the release of cyclic-AMP (CAMP). CAMP then acts as a signal that has two results 1) the cell tells itself it is still in fact without food and to continue the signal 2) the cell tells other local/neighboring single celled slime molds that there is not food near by so they too can scream the CAMP signal of hunger. What type of signal distance is accomplished in result 17? O a. autocrine O b endocrine рarасrine O d. synaptic e. contact dependentarrow_forward
- The brown-nosed tweety bird can be found in both urban and wild environments. Researchers collected 100 birds from a forest, and divided them into two groups of 50 birds, each with 25 males and 25 females. One group was released into the forest and the other into a nearby city. After 1 year, a group of hardworking students collected all 100 birds and measured stress indices associated with signalling by their "stress glucocorticoid hormone", corticosterone (a steroid). They find that compared to the forest birds, the urban birds have greater levels of a stressed phenotype. Which of the following observations is MOST LIKELY to be part of the explanation for this observation? The urban birds have similar levels of corticosterone, but higher levels of the membrane receptor for this glucocorticoid The urban birds have genetic differences in their glucocorticoid receptor to give it higher affinity, making them more sensitive to corticosterone. The urban birds have lower expression of genes…arrow_forwardCaenorhabdiris elegant posses motor neurons called MNs. It has been determined that few cells known as ventral neural progenitor cells (NP), give rise to motor neurons. Describe an experiment that might have been performed to show that the NP cells give rise to motor neurons. arrow_forwardWhy is Drosophila melanogaster a relevant model of substance abuse disorders? Select all that apply. Partial point deduction for incorrect choices. The fruit fly lacks dopaminergic neurons, making it a good negative model for addiction. Because flies do not display dose-dependent responses to psychoactive drugs, fewer experimental treatments are needed. The fruit fly has a homologous circadian clock, which can be manipulated to investigate changes in physiological responses to drugs. Fruit flies are deuterostomes. Several fly genes responsible for level of ethanol sensitivity have human orthologs. The fruit fly also has neuropeptides secreted by brain cells that influence preference behaviors.arrow_forward
- 8 of 16 Which of the following statements best describes autocrine signalling? O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules bind to receptors located on the cell secreting the signalling molecules. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules bind to receptors located on adjacent cells. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are released into the circulatory system to bind to receptors located on cells in tissues some distance away. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are peptide hormones. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are steroid hormones.arrow_forwardHelp me pleasearrow_forwardThe signaling pathway by which inactive J3 larvae become active and mature involves cGMP, PDE, ACh, AChE, IGF, TGFβ and DA.

- What is GPHIN and what role did it play in COVID-19? What is the difference between vital statistics and vital intelligence? Explain how early warning and the human dimension contributes in important ways to the tracking of infectious disease.arrow_forwardAn experiment was carried out to investigate proximate mechanisms of behavioural phase change in the locust Locusta fictiva (Figure 2 below). Solitarious locusts were injected with XDA, a dopamine receptor antagonist, either 1 h before or immediately after crowding them for 4 h (N=30 each). A control group of solitarious locusts received a saline injection 1 h before crowding (N=30). Locusts of all three groups were then observed in a behavioural arena to determine their probability of gregariousness (Pgreg). Briefly describe the result and discuss what conclusions you can draw about the proximate mechanism of phase change in this species.arrow_forwardTrue or false Rats are better organism model for diabetes, hypertensive, and atheroschlerosis reseafch compared to mice.arrow_forward
