Many intracellular signaling proteins act as switches that toggle from an inactive to an active state. Once activated, these sig
naling proteins can stimulate—or in some cases inhibit—other proteins in the signaling pathway. An interaction that results in stimulation is often depicted by an arrowhead (→), whereas inhibition is indicated by a crossbar (—I). In which of the hypothetical signaling pathways outlined below would activation of the receptor lead to an increase in gene expression?

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The answer options are in the figure attached below:
Answer:
the option D is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option D shows a pathway where activation of the receptor would lead to an increase in gene expression. This is because in this option we can see that the transcription regulator is decreasing gene expression, but there is a receptor that is activated and that has the ability to inhibit the pathway, allowing the selected gene to be expressed efficiently. This is because the pathway shows two inhibitory steps, when this happens an activation is performed.

The correct answer is 9:3:3:1
When two homozygotes for two traits cross, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1 ( unless other factors like epistatic interaction change the inheritance model).
In our case, we have two simple traits of seed color and seed shape that follow the Mendelian model of inheritance.
In this dihybrid cross, we have
9/16 of the offspring expressing both dominant traits ( yellow and round seeds)
3/16 expressing one dominant and one recessive trait ( yellow and wrinkled)
3/16 expressing the other dominant and recessive trait (green and round)
1/16 expressing both recessive traits ( green and wrinkled)
