You are traveling across the Pacific Ocean when you come across a small island, island #1. There is lush vegetation and several

species of beetles that vary in the color of their carapace. The colors you find are green, blue, purple, and black. A second island 200 miles closer to the mainland (island #2) is mostly sand with some palm trees and has a single species of beetle that has a brown carapace. You examine the colored beetles and discover that they are all related and that they are related to the brown species on the second island. Which of the following is the most likely scenario?
(a). The brown beetle migrated to island #1 and gave rise to the colored species on island #2 through adaptive radiation.
(b). The colored species of beetle on island #1 migrated to island #2 and gave rise to the brown beetle through extinction.
(c). The brown beetle evolved from the colored beetles on island #1 and then migrated to island #2.
(d). The brown beetle gave rise to all of the colored beetles on island #2 which then migrated to island #1.
(e). A beetle of some undetermined color gave rise to all of the colors of beetle brown, green, purple, and black and they then migrated to different islands.

Answer:

The correct answer is (a). The brown beetle migrated to island #1 and gave rise to the colored species on island #2 through adaptive radiation.

Explanation:

As there are no brown beetles on the island 1, and island 2 has less biodiversity of plants, it's possible to think that the brown beetle migrated to island 1 where there are many kinds of different plants, which would lead to the adaptation of these organisms resulting in many different species.

Please help i give 48 points !!!which correctly lists the three layers in which water moves easily
Aliun [14]

soil, rock, organic layer

Explanation:

Permeability is the ability of a layer of rock to transmit fluid such as oil or water

The factors that affect the permeability of a rock layer includes the sizes of the rock particles, the ratio of the available voids to the solid mass of the rock, the presence of trapped air and the presence of organic matter

Rocks such as gravels, and  sparingly cemented sands have high permeability

The most impermeable of the options are granite and clay which for granite has large particle mass and contain no voids while clay has very fine particles packed together with little room for water

Therefore, water moves easily between layers  soil, rock, organic layer

During which part of the rock cycle does weathering and erosion take place? (So what happens before weathering and erosion) plea
inn [45]
There are two main<span> types of physical weathering: Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart. Exfoliation occurs as cracks develop parallel to the land surface a consequence of the reduction in pressure during uplift and erosion.</span>

Interaction: lungs supply oxygen carried by blood to cells of the body
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Lungs supply oxygen carried by blood to cells of the body. The cells which are responsible for the transportation of oxygen is hemoglobin. When oxygen rich hemoglobin reaches a cell so the oxygen is unloaded and carbondioxide which is produced as a waste product is loaded in hemoglobin. Again this hemoglobin goes to the lungs and dispose carbondioxide there and repeat the process again.
