The Disaster of 1898 forced conservatives and liberals to implement a reformist policy. However, Maura and Canalejas’s projects failed because of political wear and the assassination of Canalejas. With Alfonso XIII, a slow process of political disintegration began, culminating in 1923 with the coup of General Primo de Rivera. His dictatorship ended the political system of the Restoration.

We want to speed up the response of a gene that is expressed constitutively, while keeping the steady state protein concentration unchanged. How can we do it?
– Increasing both
To increase the response rate of a gene, considering that its expression rate (alpha) is constant, we must modify -deltaP. An increase in the degradation rate (delta) makes the protein less stable and, therefore, faster (higher speed). To maintain the “steady state” unchanged, knowing that P*=alpha/delta, we must also increase

Lorenz (1952)
Lorenz’s research suggests that organisms have a biological propensity to form attachments to a single subject.
Lorenz conducted an experiment in which goslings were hatched either with their mother or in an incubator. Once the goslings had hatched, they proceeded to follow the first moving object that they saw between 13 and 16 hours after hatching; in this case, Lorenz.
It supports the view that having a biological basis for an attachment is adaptive as it promotes survival.
This would
