First of all, what is a hotspot?

A hotspot, is a place with a hotter temperature in relation to its surroundings.

So, when we think of "biodiversity hotspot", what exactly does that mean?

It's a place with a higher biodiversity in relation to its surroundings, but also with more concentration of species.

So, that's why forests are considered a biodiversity hotspot. If you want some visual content, try finding a geographical map of Africa. In some desert regions you'll see green spots (some really big). These are forests. The interesting thing about them, is when you search their biodiversity, you'll see what a biodiversity hotspot looks like

Hope it helped,

Imagine that there is a mutation in the cyclin gene such that its gene product is nonfunctional. What kind of effect would this

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - The cell would be unable to produce.

Explanation:

Cyclin is a protein that helps in cell division to complete the various stages. It has an essential function, however, cyclin does not play role in enzymatic reactions bit bind with cyclin-dependent kinase enzyme they form maturation promoting factors which can phosphorylate specific proteins and result in many different stages of the cell cycle.

Mutation in cyclin gene that did not allow to produce cyclin protein will cease the cell cycle and there would be no future daughter cell and the cell would not be able to produce.

A cloud directly above you is about 10° across. From the weather report, you know that the cloud is at an altitude of 2200 m. Ho

Vikentia [17]

The width of the cloud is : 384 m

<u>Given data :</u>

Cloud altitude = 2200 m

Temperature = 10°

<h3></h3><h3>Determine how wide the cloud is </h3>

applying the equation below

I = d $(\frac{\alpha }{57.3})$

where : I = linear size , d = 2200 m , $\alpha = 10^{o}$

therefore :

I = 2200 ( 10 / 57.3 )

= 383.94 m

≈ 384 m

Hence we can conclude that the width of the cloud is : 384 m
