Which of the following is the best explanation for why net primary productivity in terrestrial ecosystems tends to increase toward the tropics?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. The higher species diversity in the tropics tends to increase plant growth. 
  2. There are lower metabolic costs to plant growth in the tropics.
  3. The availability of water and warm temperatures in the tropics fosters photosynthesis.
  4. The tropics have more predators that minimize herbivory.

Choose correct statements about recognition mechanism of TBP ;

A. TBP causes the minor groove to be widened to an almost flat conformation

B. It also bends the DNA by an angle of ~120o

C. The interaction between TBP and DNA involves maximum number of hydrogen bonds between the protein and the edges of the base.

D. Much of the specificity is imposed by two pairs of phenylalanine side chains that intercalate between the base pairs at either end of the recognition sequence and drive the strong bend in the DNA.
