Factors that can alter the level of expression of a gene include

These could be environmental factors such as;

Exposure to UV radiation that causes mutations

an increase in salinity.

an increase in environmental temperature.

presence of a particular energy substrate.

Gene expression can be affected in different stages from transcription, RNA processing, to post-translation modification.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
