Hot and Dry

Hot and dry deserts, such as the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and northwestern Mexico, are warm year-round with an extreme range of diurnal (daily) temperatures because of low humidity. Brief but heavy storms may occur seasonally. Soil is hard and rocky. Burrowing mammals, insects and reptiles are the main fauna. The Great Sandy Desert of Australia and the Sahara of north Africa fall under this category.

Semi-Arid

Semi-arid deserts, such as the Great Basin of Nevada and western Utah, have long dry summers plus winter rainfall. Dew fall may exceed rainfall. Soil is sandy and rocky, and may include “caliche” (pans of calcium carbonate). Fauna is consistent with hot and dry deserts.

Answer:

B. Many members of a key species, and the ecosystem will no longer be stable.

Explanation:

An ecosystem that contains a high degree of biodiversity will have numerous organisms of different species. According to the question, sharks are stated to feed on a wide variety of prey. This means that sharks can feed on any other species of organisms at lower trophic levels.

In a situation whereby an ecosystem contains a low degree of biodiversity i.e. low variety of species, the sharks will have to consume a large numbers of a key species, which will cause the ecosystem to lose stability.

g What will be the effect of the overexpression of this truncated receptor? EGFR will dimerize but will not cross‑phosphorylate,
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

<h2>EGFR will activate other proteins without dimerization, causing uncontrolled cell growth.</h2>

Explanation:

EGFR gene :

Epidermal growth factor receptor,

-which spans the cell membrane so that one end of the protein remains inside the cell and the other end located outer surface of the cell. This causes receptor to attach ligands, and to receive signals ,by which cell respond to its environment. Epidermal growth factor receptor binds to many different type of receptors. The binding of a ligand to receptor allows the receptor to attach to another nearby epidermal growth factor receptor protein (dimerize), activating the receptor complex. As a result, signaling pathways within the cell are triggered that promote cell growth and division and cell survival. If there is abnormlty in the expression of EGFR gene  , then the cell show uncontrolled growth.
