Answer:
A rainbow is caused by sunlight and atmospheric conditions. light enters a water droplet, slowing down and bending as it goes from air to denser water. The light reflects off the inside of the droplet, seperating into its component wavelengths-or colors when light exits the droplet, it makes a rainbow
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).
