mortality and expelled from Eden because they disobeyed God. 【M3】________
Evolutionary biologists hold that natural selection favors
genes that promote having many offsprings to those that 【M4】________

agent that is the body’s first line of defense
against tumors. The agent is known to biologists with the 【M9】________
humble name of p53-p for protein, 53 a measure of its weight.
In fact, p53 is one of most important hubs in the living cell’s vast 【M10】________
network of interacting components. Many circuits that monitor
different aspects of the cell’s integrity report back to p53. [br] 【M5】
