Answer: Water pollution also affects the ecosystem – it can cause a phenomenon called eutrophication. This can cause fish and other aquatic organisms to die. Toxic elements dissolved in water can make their way to humans through fish or other aquatic organisms.

Explanation:
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).

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:
blood vessel length
blood viscosity
blood vessel diameter
blood colloid osmotic pressure
Answer:
blood colloid osmotic pressure
Explanation:
- Peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood flow by blood vessels.
- It is directly proportional to blood vessel length as more the distance to travel, more will be the resistance.
- It is also directly proportional to blood viscosity as more energy is required to push viscous material.
- It is indirectly proportional to blood vessel diameter. More the diameter of the vessel, easier it is for the blood to pass.
- However, it does not depend on blood colloid osmotic pressure. Colloid osmotic pressure is created by the protein components of blood and they do not have any direct impact on blood flow.
