Correct and appropriate signal transduction processes are generally under strong selective pressure and are determined by the pr

operties of the molecules involved, the concentrations of signal and receptor molecules, and the binding affinities between signal and receptor. Therefore, a hormone action is very specific in a species at any one point in time. However, there are examples of very diverse functions of a specific hormone between groups of organisms. For example, thyroxine, which is produced in all vertebrates and many invertebrates, can trigger growth, differentiation, metamorphosis, maturation, reproduction, behavior, temperature tolerance, osmoregulation, or seasonal adaptation depending on the organism in which it is produced. What is the most logical explanation for such different responses triggered by thyroxine in organisms

Different responses triggered by thyroxine in different organisms is most likely due to different kinds of receptor and consequently different signal cascade and response.

The thyroid hormones (including thyroxine) bind to a specific types of nuclear receptors, termed the thyroid hormone receptors which together with corepressor molecules, bind DNA regions called thyroid hormone response elements.

In what way does natural selection depend on the specific environment in which an organism lives?
telo118 [61]
The environment of an organism determines the selection pressures on it. For example, organisms with the ability to camouflage in a forest environment are more likely to survive, and be selected to pass their traits on.

Which source creates the most direct pollution?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Water pollution is one of  the most common type of pollution that leads to the deterioration of the water quality mainly due to the man-made interference. Direct and indirect pollution are two of its types. Direct pollution as the term suggests refers to the direct flow of pollutants in the water in contrast to the indirect pollution that  accounts for the transport of pollutants eventually to the water body.

Explanation:

Direct pollution is characterized by the release of toxic fluid directly in the water body. The main source of this type of pollution are the toxic pollutants from the large factories. Some of the other sources includes solid waste from the household activities and waste from agricultural practice like fertilizers, and the waste generated by the waste water treatment plant.
