Answer:
why was the discovery of pencillin important?
Penicillin discovery came as a result of the plague that rages St Mary's hospital in 1928, the discovery by a man called Alexandra Fleming which drastically reduce the death rate. Penicillin is an antibiotics that is gotten from mould and it has different strains/species
Explanation:
Answer: A - Rods are more numerous than cones
Explanation: Rods are found everywhere in the retina except the fovea (a tiny pocket in the retina where just about all of the cones are located).
B. The macula lutea is another word for fovea, no rods are found there.
C. Rods are utilized in low-light conditions and are not <em>sensitive</em> to wavelengths of light.
D. Cones are responsible for perceiving color and not rods.
E. The main function of the rods is to help us see in low-light conditions (scotopic vision), so this answer would be incorrect.
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).

i believe that the cell will expand because there is less sugar in the water. if you were to add more sugar into the water, then the cell will shrink in size because sugar and salt is the same thing if you add it in water.
Answer:
Dominant allele refers to the relationship between two versions of Gene .
Recessive allele is the type of allele that present in its own without affecting the individual .
