Because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have various appearances but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring making it is difficult for scientists to distinguish between two groups of individuals as separate species.

<h3>What is the island of Galápagos?</h3>

The Pacific Ocean island of Galápagos is located to the west of Ecuador. It is a volcanic island known for its diverse and endemic types of living things.

<h3>Why is it difficult to find new species in Finches?</h3>

Charles Darwin spent several years studying the many species of finches on the Galápagos island. He saw a great deal of variation in these finches, which supports the hypothesis of natural selection.

However. it is challenging for scientists to discern between two separate species because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have a variety of features that are different but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring.

Dimas [21]

This interaction process is an example of epigenesis.  

Epigenesis is processes in which living organisms such as plants, animals and fungi grow from a seed, egg or spore through a series of steps in which cells differentiate and organs form. The theory of epigenesis which was created by C.  F.  Wolff claimed that structures emerge during development  that  are not  initially formed.

Which is true regarding the TCA cycle (Krebs cycle)? A. pyruvate is an end product of the cycle B. energy capture in the cycle i
Naily [24]

Answer: D. some components of the cycle are used as building blocks for certain anabolic pathways.

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle or Kreb's cycle is the part of the cellular respiration. It is a sequence of chemical reaction which is used by all the aerobic organisms so as to store energy by the process of acetyl CoA oxidation derived by the process of fats, proteins and carbohydrates into forms like carbon dioxide and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The acetyl CoA is used in the process of synthesis of fatty acids. The citrate is used for the synthesis of cholestrol. The oxaloacetate and alpha ketogluterate are used for the synthesis of aminoacids. Succinyl CoA is used for the synthesis of poryphrins and fatty acids.

g What are the three basic assumptions of Darwinian evolution? Group of answer choices Presence of phenotypic variation, some ph
enot [183]

Answer:

1- Presence of phenotypic variation

2- some phenotypic variation due to genetic variation

3- the given trait has an impact on fitness  

Explanation:

The evolutionary theory by natural selection proposed by Darwin in his publication “On the origin of species” (1859) is based on a series of assumptions that enable to understand the amazing biodiversity on the Earth. First, individuals are not identical among them, i.e., there exists variation in the traits among the members of a given population, species, etc. Second, phenotypic variation leads to differential survival and reproduction of the organisms that are best fitted to the environment (i.e., competence among the members of the population). Finally, phenotypic traits are passed from generation to generation (i.e., phenotypic variation is inheritable), thereby favoring offspring from parents more adapted to the environment.
