Leaf area index

The leaf area index (LAI) is the ratio of total projected leaf area per unit ground area, and is widely used to characterize canopy light conditions.



is that clear

At the molecular level, gene duplication often produces novelty in a lineage. This process provides another evolutionary pathway
alukav5142 [94]

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).

The publications above cited are the following:

Why was the Euglena green in color? What is the name of the specialized body structure that is located at the base of the tail?
sweet [91]
The Euglena was green because it had chloroplasts in it, just like plants. The body structure at the base of the tail that relates to this is the photo receptor. These two enabled it to photosynthesize food like plants, but it could also take food from its surroundings like animals.
