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:

Answer:
a) 12 neutrons
Explanation:
The atomic mass is 22.990, which can be rounded to 23 and is the combination of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is 11 (protons), and 23-11=12, whoch would be the neutron number
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Its people would leave and migrate to other locations
Explanation:
Those areas where amount of precipitation having less than 8 inches, these areas are the arid regions. In these areas, water is present in very low amount which is not sufficient for the needs of high population. Minimum agricultural should be done because planting and growing of crops need a lot of water so most of the people migrate to other regions where water is present in large amount.
