Summary Introduction
To analyze: The closeness of serpentine soil tothe normal soil.
Introduction: Ecotone can be defined as a transition area between two biomes. It is the area where two communities meet and integrate. This transitional area can be narrow or wide, which appears due to the gradual blending of two communities across a broad area.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
An ecotone separates serpentine soil and normal soil. In this area, the normal soil is 7-8m apart from serpentine soil. Serpentine soil is different from normal soil. In serpentine soil, there is a high concentration of nickel, chromium, iron, and low concentration of copper and calcium. Plant species found in this transition area are considerably different in this distant short area.

The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid.

- You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?arrow_forwardYou decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.arrow_forwardYou implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb? Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.arrow_forward
