Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
All cells I’m pretty sure
Answer: Option D.
Genotype by environment interaction.
Explanation:
Genotype by environment interaction refer to a situation where two different genotypes react differently in an environment. Light skinned humans are at greater risk of skin cancer because they lack melanin which the dark people have and this melanin protect the skin from sun.
All the choices are correct. Differences in the norm of reaction I.e they react different way.
Epistasis is when the effect of a gene suppress the other.
Pleiotrophy is when a gene influence another genes phenotipically. These are all genotype enviromr interaction.
Answer: Adenine, Guanine, Thymine or Uracil and Cytosine
Explanation: Nitrogenous bases are one of the major constituents of nucleic acids. They contain nitrogen and act as bases in reactions.
Answer:
Due to number of amino acids.
Explanation:
The main differences might be expected in the amino acid composition of X versus Y because the X polypeptide is made up of one smaller unit of amino acid while on the other hand, Y polypeptide is made up of four smaller units of amino acids. The name of X is monomer which means composed of one amino acids while Y exists as a tetramer which means it has four amino acids. So we can conclude that the main difference between X and Y is the presence of number of amino acids.
