Two decades after the Emerald River Dam was built, none of the eight fish species native to the Emerald River was still reproduc

ing adequately in the river below the dam. Since the dam reduced the annual range of water temperature in the river below the dam from 50 degrees to 6 degrees, scientists have hypothesized that sharply rising water temperatures must be involved in signaling the native species to begin the reproductive cycle.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most strengthen the scientists’ hypothesis?
(A) The native fish species were still able to reproduce only in side streams of the river below the dam where the annual temperature range remains approximately 50 degrees.
(B) Before the dam was built, the Emerald River annually overflowed its banks, creating backwaters that were critical breeding areas for the native species of fish.
(C) The lowest recorded temperature of the Emerald River before the dam was built was 34 degrees, whereas the lowest recorded temperature of the river after the dam was built has been 43 degrees.
(D) Nonnative species of fish, introduced into the Emerald River after the dam was built, have begun competing with the declining native fish species for food and space.
(E) Five of the fish species native to the Emerald River are not native to any other river in North America.

Edit the following statements, if required, to make it true: Because nuclear localization sequences are not cleaved off by prote
Virty [35]

Answer:

The third sentence is not correct. The correct statement would be as follows:

because the contents of the lumen of ER (or any other compartment) in the secretory or endocytic pathways never mix with the cytosol, Proteins that enter these pathways is never imported again.

Explanation:

During mitosis, specifically during prophase, when the nuclear envelope breaks down, or in other words, retracts from the chromatin, its content that is the membrane protein intermix with the ER membrane protein. However its content will always remain separated from that of the cytosol because of the presence of an intact membrane.
