Darwin's finches came from a mainland species where some individuals were able to move to the islands and then spread from one i

sland to another. Is the genetic diversity of the new population of finches on the Galápagos increased or decreased in relation to the population on the mainland, and what is this an example of?

Answer:

The genetic diversity of new population decreased and this is an example of genetic drift.  

Explanation:

Founders effect is the case of genetic diversity which occurs when a small number of individual from a larger population of species gets isolated from the larger population and occupy a different habitat. In the smaller population, the genetic diversity reduces because they lost many allele which was present in the larger population.

Here a small number of individuals from mainland species moved to the islands of Galapagos therefore these individuals would not be having the total gene pool that was present in the large population of mainland species.  

So the genetic diversity of the new population of finches on the Galapagos  must be decreased concerning the population on the mainland and this is an example of genetic drift(founder's effect).

URGENT! What results would you expect to see if exercise does not increase bone mass?
Nikitich [7]

When exercise does not increase bone mass, it has been observed that the risk of bone fractures increases due to osteoporosis.

<h3>What are the benefits of exercise to bone mass and density?</h3>

Bone mass refers to the mass of the bones in a living organism as a result of the deposition of minerals within the bone.

An increase in bone mass is directly related to the strength of the bone.

Strong bones have high bone masses whereas weak bone have low bone mass.

Physical activity have been shown to improve bone mass by increase the mass of deposited minerals in the bone.

Exercise such as walking, running, jogging, and other forms of exercise have been shown to improve bone mass and hence, the strength of bones.

However, when exercise does not increase bone mass, osteoporosis is observed which results in bone fracture.

In conclusion, the strength of a bone is directly related to the bone mass which is directly related to the mass of minerals deposited within them.

Which statement is not correct about the antibodies?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

b. They are produced by memory B cells

Explanation:

The rapid cell division in activated B cells is followed by the differentiation of daughter cells into the plasma cells. The plasma cells are the precursor for antibodies and memory B cells. The antibodies kill the antigens while memory B cells are long-lived cells.  

Hence, antibodies are not produced by memory B cells but by plasma cells.
