Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
PAX5 refers to the member of the Pax gene family, which is, accountable for conducting the genetic information, which will encode the Pax-6 protein. It functions as a master control gene for the maturation of eyes and other sensory organs. Pax6 functions as a regulator in the formation of patterns and coordination needed for the proliferation and differentiation to take place effectively. This ensures that the procedures of oculogenesis and neurogenesis are taking place efficiently.
The PAX6 gene was the outcome of evolution in earlier animals comprising eyespots or eyes. The similar PAX6 gene generates distinct kinds of eyes in distinct species because of the difference in its control of PAX6 expression. At the time of the evolution of vertebrates, the biological clock opsin’s rh gene was chosen as a gene for visual receptor pigments.
