Answer:
The claim by the researcher is supported because of the known functions of insulin and growth factors. Both hormones have a tendency to respond to the presence of glucose. The growth hormone initiates STAT5 signaling for producing the Igf-1 factor that is important for utilizing glucose. The insulin hormone is well known for utilizing glucose.

Answer: if i want to breed a rose and i don't have a certain kind of rose, i have to cross between them until i have a kind of rose that express the phenotype i was looking for. Once i've got it, i'll try to cross it with another rose and generate more species like that to cross with the rose that express the phenotype, this favors to generate a specie that have a pure phenotype.
Explanation: The answer is explain by the Mendel's laws.
Mendel's second law:
if you have two roses that are heterozygous and you cross them, their offspring have a 25% probability of generating a homozygous phenotype for a certain recessive characteristic (such as the rich smell of roses that is not a dominant character), 50% of generate heterozygotes with a dominant phenotype, and 25% generate other homozygotes with a dominant phenotype.
Once the offspring with the recessive homozygous character are obtained, it is possible to start making crosses between those of a recessive nature and there Mendel's first law applies
All the homozygous recessive individuals that are crossed will have a 100% homozygous recessive offspring.
Also, if you cross heterozygotes with another heterozygotes the offspring will be 100% heterozygotes
Answer:
This question lacks options; the options are:
A) Artificial selection
B) Stabilizing selection
C) Disruptive selection
D) Directional selection
The answer is D) Directional selection
Explanation:
Changes in the environmenal condition affects the distribution of organisms phenotypes. Via this change, organisms with certain traits are naturally selected. The types of natural selection are; stabilizing, disruptive and directional.
Based on the description of the selection in this question, the type of selection is DIRECTIONAL. Directional mutation is that in which one of the two extreme phenotypes in a population is selected against while the other is favored by the occurrence of a natural environmental hazard. The distribution gradually shifts to favour one extreme over the other until the other unselected extreme gets extincted.
This is the case regarding a population of finches affected by drought caused by flood causing all their food source to disappear leaving only ant hills that certain finches with thin beaks can access. This environmental change favorably selects one extreme phenotype (finches with long thin beaks). Hence, a type of DIRECTIONAL selection
