When Lucifer yellow, a small dye, is injected into a neuron of the retina, neighboring neurons become rapidly labeled. If the retina is incubated in dopamine prior to Lucifer yellow injection, only the injected neuron becomes labeled. These findings suggest which of the following?

I. Neurons of the retina communicate via gap junctions.

II. Dopamine is transferred between cells via gap junctions.

III. Dopamine decreases the permeability of gap junctions.

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
