It causes soil pore spaces to become smaller, and it reduces water infiltration rate into soil, and decreases the rate that water will penetrate into the soil root zone and subsoil.

Answer:

Factors which lead to or favour soil compaction are

- use of heavy vehicles, equipment on field and

- type and condition of soil also plays an important role in causing soil compaction.

Explanation:

The causes of soil compaction are as follows –  

a) Use of heavy machines on field – Use of heavy axle machines with weight exceeding 10 tons causes compaction of soil to greater depth.  

b) Frequent and early planting also causes soil compaction due to continuous weight on soils.  

c) Soil type -  Soils with low level of organic matter are more susceptible to compaction as they do not have gravels (aggregate) to resist the compaction forces.  

d) Soil condition – Wet clay soils are easily compactible as compared to sandy soil.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Answer explained

Explanation:

a. Overexpression of Axl receptor tyroxine kinase correlates with the decresed patient's overall survival and hence it's inhibition is under process.

AXL TKI BMS777607 treatment increased AXL protein levels after 24 h as observed by Western blot and flow cytometry analysis. Mechanistically, this inhibition-induced AXL cell surface accumulation was neither associated with epigenetic modifications, nor altered transcriptional and translational regulation. Hence this later increased the glycosylated protien abundance in kinase dead mutant. The kinase function blockaging resulted in impaired internalisation which finally incresed the level of proliferation.

An alternative technique may exist in linkage of Axl Tkl to a degradation machinery recruitment unit .

b. Mendelian disorders like cystic fibrosis results from error in the given DNA sequence which can be autosomal dominant and recessive both and also X or Y linked. Mutated gene results in the Mendelian disorders. Whereas in cancer there can be mutation or proliferation of the given cells in a specific area. In cancer cells there is 2.5 times more the mRNA present while 6.2times the DNA and hence the detection and diagnosis automatically becomes difficult as in Mendelian disorders only single sequence needs to be studied at a time .
