If you conclude that vegetation at every point on Earth exactly resembles the predicted biome distribution in a climograph, then ________.

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. you are ignoring human land use changes or impacts, which have highly altered many regions within biomes
  2. the biome spanning the smallest combined ranges in precipitation and temperature is the tundra
  3. the biome most sensitive (in danger) from global warming is the desert
  4. you are ignoring the fact that local differences in soil, elevation, or topography can result in considerably different plant communities that are embedded within named biomes

Genes whose protein products stimulate apoptosis behave as tumor suppressors, An example is the PTEN gene, The phosphatase encoded by this gene dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate, a secondary messenger that functions in activation of AKT, cells lacking PTEN phosphatase shows; EXCEPT

For pro-proliferation signaling pathways to cause uncontrolled proliferation, as is seen in cancer, this p53 up-regulation must not occur, It is therefore not surprising that p53 is inactive in most human tumors through loss of p53 function itself, down-regulation of positive regulators (PR) of p53 or up-regulation of negative regulators (NR) of p53, these regulators are accordingly

The MDM2 protein in its active form can form a complex with p53, inhibiting the transcription factor and causing p53 ubiquitinylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation, ATM phosphorylates MDM2 to inactivate it, causing increased stabilization of p53, but there is one another gene or key regulator which controls the level of MDM2;
