They were named that way because they looked like small rooms called cells

The word cell comes from the Latin cellula, meaning, a small room. The descriptive name for the smallest living biological structure was chosen by Robert Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when he compared the cork cells he <span>saw through his microscope to the small rooms monks lived in.

Explanation:

Reef : a ridge of jagged rock, coral, or sand just above or below the surface of the sea.

Area of desposition: is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Sand dunes: is a mount, hill or ridge of sand that lies behind the part of the beach affected by tides.

Continental deposit of

gravel and sand: ???????????

Alluvial fan: a triangle-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and even smaller pieces of sediment

Sand mounds in a desert: is called "sand dunes". A sand dune can be described as a "small mound or ridge" of hill formed out of sand.

Sedimentary dispositional environment : describes the combination of physical, chemical and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

Shoreline deposit of sediments: The coastal environment consists of constantly changing conditions, caused by the forces of wind, waves, currents and tides.

Beach sand:Sand is a loose granular material blanketing the beaches, riverbeds and deserts of the world.

Calcareous skeletons from organisms build this wave-resistant structure: Modern coral reefs are principally made of calcium carbonate that has been derived from coral skeletons and cemented into a wave-resistant structure by coralline algae

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution

grandymaker [24]

Hi!

The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.

In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.

Hope this helps!
