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.

Why is gene regulation necessary in the development of multicellular organisms??
irga5000 [103]
<span>It's important to regulate genes so it does nothing unnecessarily. This will help it save energy. Different specialized cells and factors control the making of genes and the way they do it depends on its environment. The regulators can be turned on and off depending on why and how t needs and uses things around it. There are also necessary factors that allow gene regulation. E Coli must regulate the lac gene so it is used properly. If there is lactose around it, it must be switched on to process it. If there is no lactose around, then it must turn off to save energy because there is no reason for it to be in use.</span>
