Galapogos tortoises have a number of shell variations, shown right. What are the advantages of choosing a system examining the b

eaks of finches instead of the shells of tortoises? Check all that apply.
Birds have shorter lifespans, making generations shorter.

The bird population is likely much greater, allowing for more data.

Tortoises move too slowly for natural selection to influence shell phenotype.

Birds are easier to track and monitor.

Answer:

First, second, and last are correct statements.

For accuracy and reliability of any experiment, a number of observations must be as large as possible. It reduces the effect of any observation or any event which might have happened by chance or error.

Thus, finches were better to record observations as they were available in large number as compared to the tortoise.

In addition, the life cycle of birds is smaller as compared to the tortoise which enabled the scientists to observe more generations.

Lastly, the birds were easy to capture and track as compared to the tortoise. Tortoise being an amphibian could live on land as well as in water which made it difficult to track them.

the element nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic mass of 14 how many protons, neutrons and electrons are in a atom o
Nat2105 [25]

Answer: By definition, if  the atomic number  = 7 , then there are 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 8 neutrons!

Explanation:

The atomic number is by definition the number of protons, positively charged particles, contained within the atomic nucleus. So if there are 7 protons, there MUST be 7 electrons, 7 negatively charged particles. Why? Because matter is electrically neutral, and positive and negative particles must be equal.

Electrons have negligible mass; the mass number depends on the number of protons contained within the nucleus, PLUS the number of neutrons. Given that we have  15  N , there must be 8 neutrons contained within the nucleus.  does this help?

What causes the formation of graded beds of sediment?​
Mamont248 [21]

In geology, a graded bed is one characterized by a systematic change in grain or clast size from one side of the bed to the other. Most commonly this takes the form of normal grading, with coarser sediments at the base, which grade upward into progressively finer onesI just learned about this in our rocks and minerals unit for science,

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a. midbrain

b. thalamus; hypothalamus, epithalamus

c. cerebral aqueduct

d. medulla oblongata

e. choroid plexus

f. pons; medulla oblongata; midbrain

g. hypothalamus

h. cerebrum

i. epithalamus

j. cerebrum

k. cerebellum

Explanation:

The brainstem is the posterior part of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. The brainstem can be divided into three parts: midbrain (i.e., mesencephalon), the pons (i.e., metencephalon), and the medulla oblongata (i.e., myelencephalon). The mesencephalon is a region of the brain composed of the tectum and tegmentum, which play fundamental roles in motor movement, auditory and visual processing. The corpora quadrigemina is found at the tectum region of the midbrain. The diencephalon is a small part of the brain located above the brainstem (between cerebral hemispheres); which contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus, and epithalamus. In turn, the epithalamus is composed of the habenular nuclei, pineal gland, and the stria medullaris thalami. The cerebral aqueduct is a narrow channel (approx. 15 mm) in which the cerebrospinal fluid flows between the third ventricle and the fourth ventricle. The medulla oblongata is a long stem-like structure located in the brainstem of the brain, just in the place where the brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord. The choroid plexus is a complex network of capillaries located at the cerebral ventricles of the brain, which serve to produce cerebrospinal fluid through ependymal cells that line the ventricles of the brain. The cerebellum is a major structure of the hindbrain and consists of the cerebellar cortex and a core of white matter having the cerebellar nuclei.
