As with cryptochrome and phytochrome, the N-terminal photosensory region of the phototropins controls the activity of the C-terminal half of the protein, which contains a serine/threonine kinase domain. Following are some statements about photosensory region of the phototropins.

a) The activation of the C-terminal kinase domain then leads to receptor autophosphorylation on multiple serine residues that is required for all phototropin-mediated responses

b) In the dark, the N-terminal region, including the LOV domains, “cages” and inhibits the activity of the kinase domain

c) In the light, the N-terminal region, including the LOV domains, “cages” and inhibits the activity of the kinase domain

d) Absorption of blue photons by the LOV domains results in primary photochemical changes that lead to the uncaging of the kinase domain and its activation by the unfolding of the Jα-helix

A researcher collects data on plant species composition in two habitats (P and Q) by using 10 quadrats each in both habitats. She calculates the average a-diversity and the 13-diversity of each habitat from this data (shown below). Which of the following can be inferred about these habitats? 

A) Q has greater total diversity (γ) and more heterogeneous than P

B) Q has lower total diversity (γ) and less heterogeneous than P

C) P has lower total diversity (γ) and more heterogeneous than Q

D) P has greater total diversity (γ) and more heterogeneous than Q
