Sort the following events to reflect the normal order in which they occur in g-protein-coupled receptor signaling leading to transcription of genes with camp response elements. your answer would be a four-letter string composed of letters a to e only, e. g. acbd. a. binding of creb to pka b. binding of camp to pka c. dissociation of pka into catalytic and regulatory subunits d. activation of adenylyl cyclase

DBCA

Explanation:

Here is the normal order of events:

Order 1.

Order 2

b. Binding of cAMP to PKA

Order 3

c. Dissociation of PKA into catalytic and regulatory subunits

Order 4

a. binding of CREB to PKA ... 4

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
