SIZIF [17.4K]

Darwin's finches are a traditional illustration of an adaptive radiation. Their ancestor came on the Galapagos Island about two million years ago. With time Darwin's finches have developed into fifteen different species separated on the basis of beak shape, body size, and feeding and song behavior.  

The population of finches possesses the tendency of evolving rapidly in response to a changing environment. However, they can also get extinct in condition if the weather fluctuates too briskly between the dry and wet seasons. This would most likely take place due to the immigration of genes and mutations within the genes that are conducted on to the next generations.

What is responsible for the yellow-orange coloration of leaves in the fall?
mixer [17]

The correct answer is - C) carotenoids.

The majority of the trees from the mid-latitude forests tend to shade their leaves in the autumn. This process occurs because of the seasonal changes in the climate, where the trees tend to be almost not-active during the winter, so in order to preserve as much energy and nutrients as possible they get read off their leaves.

It is not a sudden process, but it takes some time, where the leaves from the initial green color start to change to yellowish, than towards orange, reddish, or brownish before they fall.

The reason why this coloration appears in the leaves when the tree starts to process of shading them off are carotenoids. The carotenoids found in the leaves, the lutein and the beta-caroten, thorugh the xantophills and the flavonoids give a yellowish color to the leaves, thus we get the beautiful autumn colors and landscapes.

Sara is studying the human skeletal system. Her classroom has a model skeleton. What main advantage does a model skeleton have o
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

A scientific model is a representation model for a certain scientific concept. Scientific models make it easier to study a phenomenon as they tend to model out the exact phenomenons.

A drawing of an skeleton would be unclear as the children might not be able to locate certain features in the drawing. For example, a certain joint could be missed by the teacher in the drawing or the child might not exactly be able to locate where the joint or bone is present.

But as the model will be more real to the actual skeleton system hence, studying through a skeleton will make it a lot easier to study the human skeletal system.
