Which of the following statement describes outside-in signaling?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. Binding of integrins to their ligands induces conformational changes in their cytoplasmic domains, directly or indirectly altering their interactions with cytoplasmic proteins
  2. Binding of integrins to their ligands induces conformational changes in their transmembrane domains, directly or indirectly altering their interactions with cytoplasmic proteins
  3. Binding of cytoskeletal proteins intracellularly induces conformational changes in extracellular domains of integrins, so it unable to bind to the ligands
  4. intracellular signaling pathways can, via adapter proteins, modify the ability of integrins to bind to their extracellular ligands

The herbaceous plant Achillea lanulosa is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Phenotypic variation in the species has been extensively studied along an altitudinal gradient from sea level to over 3,000 meters. In California there is conspicuous variation in  height; alpine plants are only several centimeters tall  while  those in  the San Joaquin Valley may reach a height of 1.8 meters. Adaptation to different local environments also results in variation in physiological processes such as photosynthetic rate, resistance to cold, and the timing of dormancy.

The morphological variation shown by Achillea lanulosa illustrates

Prairie dogs once covered the expanses of the Great Plains. Their grazing made the grass more nutritious for the huge herds of bison, and a variety of snakes, raptors, and mammals   preyed on the rodents. In fact, the black- footed ferret (now endangered) specialized in prairie dog predation. Today, growing housing and agricultural developments have covered many prairie dog towns. Which of the following statements about prairie dogs is true?
