The ability of a population of fibroblasts to migrate along the surface of a tissue culture dish depends on adhesion between the cell surface and the extracellular matrix molecules coating the dish. The dish is coated with laminin, and the only cell-surface protein capable of binding laminin is a cell-adhesion protein called an integrin. Integrins are integral plasma-membrane proteins that function as heterodimers. Under these conditions the rate at which a fibroblast can migrate along the laminin coated culture dish is proportional to the strength of adhesion between the cell and the laminin substrate. The table below lists the rate of cell migration observed for fibroblasts genetically engineered to generate the indicated phenotypes. One explanation for the effect of overexpression of the cytoplasmic domain of the integrin beta subunit is that this domain normally functions to bind a cytoplasmic factor necessary for integrin function. Which of the following would be the most informative experiment to identify the cytoplasmic factor?

Which of the following statement is correct? 

A. Darwin, theory of natural selection based on better-adapted organisms would acquire more resources and leave more offspring.

B. When population sizes become too small, individuals accumulate deleterious (harmful) mutations, and survival of offspring is threatened

C. Inbreeding is more likely to take place in nature when population size becomes very small and the number of mates is limited.

D. Effective population size can be reduced by harem mating structures

E. The movement of a few individuals between populations can counteract the effects of genetic drift

Following statement regarding divergent evolution?

A- Spreading of same species to different and isolated environments which blocks the gene flow among the distinct populations

B. vertebrate limb of whale and elephant is one example of divergent evolution

C- Both orthologous genes and paralogous genes can be said to display divergent evolution
