What might be the advantage of a thin leaf blade to the photosynthetic capacity of a leaf?

Biology
1 answer:
andrezito [222]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A flat and thin leaf blade is characterized by larger surface area compared to a short and thick leaf. As a result, more photosynthetic units are available, while photosynthetic capacity of a leaf increases.

At the molecular level, gene duplication often produces novelty in a lineage. This process provides another evolutionary pathway
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:
