Tundra biomes are either found at high latitudes or high elevations in mountains. These are both very cold environments that are dominated most of the year by snow and icy conditions. This in itself tends to stunt plant growth.

These regions, especially, tundra in the high latitudes also have very short growing seasons (3 months perhaps) and so plants can only photosynthesize and store sugars for this amount of time. High winds in these environments also tend to keep plants low to the ground.

Answer:

CHK2, p53, p21, cell cycle progression.

Explanation:

In a normal cell with no LFS mutation, during the G1 stage of cell cycle progression, the CHK2 activates if there is damage in the DNA. CHK2 activates p53, which is a tumor suppressor protein that will hold the cell cycle in G1/S until the DNA is repaired. The p53 protein activates p21, a protein that binds to CDK2 and stops the cell cycle. The cell cycle will continue once the damage is repaired.

Climate changes can produce various effects in ecosystems. Which of the following is a way that marine ecosystems can be affecte

Darya [45]

Since the speed of many physiological processes in marine organisms is determined by the temperature, the first consequence of the changes in the conditions of the medium becomes offset the timing of seasonal events, such as the timing of spawning fish. There have also offset migration routes and spawning areas. So, as a result of warming in the Sea of Japan, spawning navaga shifted to an earlier date, because of the reduction of the area of "cold spots" in the eastern Bering Sea shelf feeding migration of pollock, halibut and crab are lengthened, but because of the temperature rise to the east of Japan, spawning saury expanding. These changes significantly affect the success of reproduction, resulting in changes populations of their fishery.
