Answer:
Cytoskeleton
Explanation:
It provide mechanical support that enables cells to carry out function like division and movement
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).

Answer:
A corridor that is attached or connected to a large patch.
Explanation:
Corridors in biology can either be within an aquatic or terrestrial environment. The movement of animals is mostly between these two corridors, or corridors within the main ones. Because corridors are very long and continuous strips of land or water with much vegetation or reefs, there are numerous amounts of species. These corridors are meant to aid movement of animals, so it is only natural that there would be a large amount of them at the end of a corridor.
The 4 factors affect evolution, according to Darwin’s Origin
of Species are;
Variation
Heritability
Competition
Differential survival
Variation ensures that
there is variability of population traits
on which selection pressures will apply.
Heritability means that the traits must be able to be passed down to offsprings through gametes.
Competition occurs when the individuals in the population compete for limited resources
Differential survival
occurs due to competition for resources
and other selection pressures. This result
to the survival of the strongest and weeding
out of the weak from the population.
