Plant seeds contain storage proteins that are encoded by pla

Plant seeds contain storage proteins that are encoded by plant genes. When the seed germinates, these proteins are rapidly hydrolyzed (i.e., the covalent bonds between amino acids within the polypeptides are broken), which releases amino acids for the developing seedling. Would you expect the genes that encode plant storage proteins to evolve more slowly or more rapidly than genes that encode enzymes? Explain your answer

Solution

When seed germinates first water hydrolyze enzyme that degrade protein into amino acid .Gibberellic acid activates DNA gene coding for amylase enzyme in the aleurone cell.Transcription in the nucleus and translation by ribosome in the cytosol result in amylase activation and its action on starch . Sugar is transported to embryo.First gene for enzyme will get activated then gene of protein get activated because gene encoded for protein will activated by enzyme released
