Answer:

The correct option is C. receptor dimerizaton.

Explanation:

Growth Factors are protein substances found in our blood and play an important role in intercellular communication. These protein substances bind to receptors on the surface of the cell, with the main result of the activation of cell proliferation and / or differentiation.  Many growth factors are very versatile, stimulating cell division in numerous different cell types, while others are specific to a particular cell type.

For the activation of a growth factor, dimerization or oligomerization of the receptor is necessary for kinase activity to occur, triggering intracellular signaling cascades. The dimerization can be between two identical receptors (homodimerization) or between different members of the same family (heterodimerization). The dimerization of the receptor, leads to the activation of its tyrosine kinase and the transphosphorylation of the tyrosine residues, releasing a signal transduction into the cell.

Assuming this is supposed to be a multiple choice question- I think the correct answer would be “early onset of spring change in marine ecosystems” because it looks like the question is asking what it wouldn’t affect, and I’m sure if the people had to leave, that animals would’ve all had to leave as well!
