Explain the difference between vegetation growth on the upwind side and the rain shadow side of a mountain

Biology
1 answer:
mixer [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

The windward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that the wind blows into. This side is where all the rain tends to be because of the air cools as it rises, making clouds. The opposite side is called the leeward side. This is where the air sinks, leaving the side much more warm and dry.

A hormone attaches to a target cell at a receptor protein. What do you know about this hormone?
charle [14.2K]
So, this hormone is a non-steroid hormone.  Steroid hormones are fat soluble and can pass directly into the cell to affect the nucleus.

Non-steroid hormones bind to the receptor and trigger a chemical change within the cell without ever entering the cell, or the nucleus.

The answer is: It will not enter the nucleus

Describe the factors that influence an individuals phenotype
atroni [7]

Answer:

Physiology, behavior and morphology are considered as phenotype of an individual as these attributes can be observed. Example of  phenotypes include wing length, hair color, skin color and  height.

<u>There are basically two factors that influence the phenotype:</u>

<u>(1) Genotype or Genetic information of the individual:</u> Some of the phenotypes such as height and skin color are transmitted genetically from generation to generation. Genetic information is the transfer of genes that carry some of the specific genetic information and pass it to another generation which is visible in their phenotype.

(2)<u> Environmental influence:</u> As the phenotype attributes are variable so they are highly influenced by the environment or surrounding they are living. Environmental condition such as temperature, diet, humidity, oxygen levels, and the presence of mutagens affects the phenotype of an individual.

Hence, Genotype and environmental factors influence an individuals phenotype.
