<span>1. List five observations Darwin made about the Amblyrhynchus lizards.
a. They measure about 2-3 feet long.
b. They are cold-blooded.
c. They feed on crab and sea lion feces.
d. They are the only marine iguanas in the world.
e. Their nostrils are connected to salt glands that allow them to expel excess sea salt.
</span><span>2. Describe two examples of structural adaptations that Darwin observed.
a. </span><span>Darwin discovered that finches in the Galapagos have thirteen different kinds of beaks.
b. </span>Darwin observed two kinds of giant tortoises that are distinguished by the shapes of their carapaces (dome-shaped and saddle-shaped).
3. <span>Describe two behavioral adaptations that Darwin observed.
</span>
a. <span>The marine iguanas have developed several ways of coping with the cold. At night, they huddle together for warmth.
b. </span>In the face of famine, the marine iguanas have adapted by having the ability to shrink their body size. They are able to grow back to their original size once the food is supply increases.
4. <span>Explain how these observations influenced his theory of evolution?
</span>
These observations led Darwin to believe that if a certain trait is more advantageous in a specific environment, then the carriers of that trait are more likely to survive into adulthood and to generate offspring than those who do not have that trait. Eventually, the advantageous traits for a species will proliferate. Darwin later called this as "survival of the fittest".
<span>Fosfomycin tromethamine is the phosphoric acid agent which is used as an alternative treatment therapy for treating the urinary tract infections.
It inhibits the cell wall synthesis of the infection-causing microorganism. It is not advised to use this agent outside the bladder.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is "Runaway sexual selection".
Explanation:
Runaway sexual selection, also known as Fisherian runaway in honor to Ronald Fisher the scientist that proposed it, is a type of sexual selection on birds, at which exaggerated male ornamentation are developed since females prefer males with these characteristics. Runaway sexual selection is a biological paradox, since male with exaggerated ornamentation are selected by the females but also are more easily caught by predators. Runaway sexual selection fits the description of the species of bird herein described.
The organelle the question is referring to is called the chloroplast. I hope this helps; have a good evening!
Answer:
In areas of Africa where malaria is prevalent the number of sickle cell cases remains consistent generation after generation. ---- support the hypothesis.
In Canada the incident of sickle cell anemia has been increasing in the population. ----- contradicts the hypothesis.
Explanation:
In areas of Africa where malaria is widespread the number of sickle cell cases remains consistent generation after generation while on the other hand, In Canada the incident of sickle cell anemia are lower in the population because of environmental condition is not good for increase in malarial disease. In Africa, the environment is suitable for the mosquitoes that causes malaria so there is high increase of sickle cell anemia in the population.
