From this one migrant species would come many -- at least 13 species of finch evolving from the single ancestor.
This process in which one species gives rise to multiple species that exploit different niches is called adaptive radiation. The ecological niches exert the selection pressures that push the populations in various directions. On various islands, finch species have become adapted for different diets: seeds, insects, flowers, the blood of seabirds, and leaves.
The ancestral finch was a ground-dwelling, seed-eating finch. After the burst of speciation in the Galapagos, a total of 14 species would exist: three species of ground-dwelling seed-eaters; three others living on cactuses and eating seeds; one living in trees and eating seeds; and 7 species of tree-dwelling insect-eaters.
Scientists long after Darwin spent years trying to understand the process that had created so many types of finches that differed mainly in the size and shape of their beaks.
I believe the answer is incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance creates a mix of the two phenotype(white and dark purple flowers) to create a third phenotype (lavender). Lavender is a mix.
Whereas, co-dominance would not be a mix but both traits would exist within the organism. In your question, it would be codominance if the dark purple flower and the white flower created a flower with white and dark flower pedals. This would not be a mix of the phenotype, but a co-existance of both phenotype.
I hope that helps! :D
Answer:
A. Hydrogen bonds
Explanation:
A. Hydrogen bonds causes water molecules to stick together in liquid water.
The geological time scale (gts) is a system of chronological measurements that relates stratigraphy to time and is used by geologist, paleontologists, and other earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships between events that have occurred throughout earth's history
( stratigraphy is the branch of geology concerned with the order and relative position of strata * a series of layers of rock in the ground * and there relation ship to the geological time scale)
hope that helps :)
Answer:
selective interference
Explanation:
Natural selection acts on genes that are inherited together, which is the case for species of asexual reproduction (where genes are inherited together by clonal offspring). In asexual species, linkage disequilibrium (i.e., non-random association of the alleles of different <em>loci</em>), can be understood in a similar mode in terms of population allele frequencies. Selective interference underlies the association between beneficial mutations and surrounding sites which are subject to deleterious mutations. It has been shown that asexual species adapt at a slower rate than species of sexual reproduction. In sexual species, selective interference could be bypassed through the mechanism of recombination during meiosis (although there is not conclusive evidence of this). In asexual species, different deleterious and beneficial mutations are generally fixed, whereas beneficial mutations are generally spread and fixed in species of sexual reproduction.
