Ans.

In vertebrates, genes responsible for the growth and development of limbs in developing embryos are known as Hox genes (homeotic-box genes). Along with limb development, these genes include a group of genes that control the head-tail axis and body plan of developing embryo.

A single mutation in a Hox genes can lead to formation of mutated Hox protein and turn off the growth of legs in an organism.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option B). a Hox gene.'

What are the two criteria for designation as a biodiversity hotspot?.

Biodiversity hotspots are regions under surveillance of humans where threatened and endemic species of flora and fauna are grown. These regions have been identified as some of the world's most important ecosystems.

attashe74 [19]

The clamming industry in Long Island used to be very lucrative, raking in as much as $100 Million annually. By the 1970s, it had shrunk to less that $40 million per annum.

<h3>What was to blame for the decline according to the article mentioned above?</h3>

2. According to the New York Times Article of 1985, the reason for the steep decline in the value of the Clamming industry was related to the loss of confidence in the health safety of eating raw shellfish.

3. According to the remarkable discovery of the "208 Study", it was discovered that there was a connection between land use and underground water quality. It was also discovered there was a negative impact of dumping sewers in the ocean on the production of shellfish

4. Some of the solutions that were proposed to manage this situation are:

  • Using sewers to collect effluents into a septic treatment plant. rather than dumping them into the ocean.
  • The implementation of secondary sewage treatment supplemented by ocean disposal of the effluents and
  • Monitoring the salinity levels of the clamp ecosystem.
