Answer:
Bridgham et al. (2006) showed that the interaction between a steroid hormone (aldosterone-M) and its receptor (mineralocorticoid) evolved by Darwinian gradualism. In this work, the authors demonstrated a primitive affinity between the hormone and its receptor that was initially present in chemically similar but more ancient ligands. This result has implications in understanding the association between gene duplication and the evolution of hormone signaling pathways. For example, in invertebrates, this work reinforces the importance of gene duplication in the existing interaction between paralogous glucocorticoid receptors and their receptor mineralocorticoid genes that were derived from duplication (Thornton 2001).

in my knowledge biotic factors could affect this process of photosynthesis
If you could tell me what cell it would be easier. Sorry I have to post it on Answer but I't does not show the commentary or whatever you guys call it.
Is this school work ? can you tell me so i can tell you professical or common
Answer: option A - threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants and animals and to the maintenance of biologically diverse ecosystems
Explanation:
Invasive species refers to organisms that appears at a particular habitat that has just undergone an environmental unfavorable condition.
These INVASIVE SPECIES poses THREAT to the native organisms, because they usually possess:
better resistance to disease,
higher reproductive rate, etc.
So, even when native organisms migrate or dies, Invasive species REMAINS. As a result, they threaten the maintenance of a biologically diverse ecosystem
