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).

Answer:
E I think is the correct answer but in not 100% positive
Explanation:
Answer: Immune system
Explanation:
Lymphocytes are a class of white blood cells (leukocytes) involved in immune response when activated by the a foreign molecule (an antigen). B lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow of mammals and are responsible for the production of circulating antibodies.
Thus, lymphocytes are associated with the immune system.
Little confused on the question but if I am suppose to match the question with one of the statements I would choose that
“The cell membrane pinches in to form two new cells.” - what happens during cytokinesis.
A solute is a substance that is dissolved in the solvent.
Some examples of a solute are sugar in water, carbon dioxide in water, and sodium chloride in water.
