Answer 1

Answer:

A. Is there a sensor for flagellar length?

The behavior of long-flagella mutants during dikaryon formation strongly suggests that when the cytoplasm of an lf mutant cell fuses with the cytoplasm of a wild-type cell, some signal triggers the long flagella to recognize their excess length and shorten to a predetermined (i.e. wild-type) length (Figure 5.3). Thus, cells appear to have a sensor that monitors the length of the flagella, and mating restores the appropriate length in response to a signal from the sensor. T
