Entropy can be defined as the most fundamental concept of physical science and is also a medium used to measure disorder. Generally, solid is a substances that is stable at low temperature and they are strongly influenced by the arrangements of atoms and how the atoms are bound together. However, the entropies of ionic solids are usually larger when the bonds within them are weaker.

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:
