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).

Answer:

The metabolic capacities should be:

Bacteria that fulfill replicative cycles, have a metabolization that requires a substrate or a metabolite, coexist in extreme environments where their method of survival is sporulation.

Ability to admit genetic mutations between different bacterial colonies for their possible evolution, an ideal environment with pH, gases, and substrates according to the life of the bacterial colony, which is often called as a culture medium.

Explanation:

Temperature is essential in bacterial growth, as is the pressure and environment that surrounds the bacteria.

Something that must be taken into account is that other microorganisms coexist with the bacteria in the medium, since they can be limited to their colonization, an example of this is the gram negative and positive bacteria, coccoid and bacilloid, which generally are not compatible with the penicillium fungus, as this, as a product of its metabolization, releases a substance called penicillin that prevents the colonizing growth of other species of microorganisms such as this type of bacteria.

How does the experimental design process inform forensic science? Cite one specific example and explain.

One is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells) become well developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. The xylem tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding plant cells.
