Answer:

The theory of natural selection, formulated by Darwin, explains how organisms with better characteristics are able to survive and reproduce. According to the theory of Darwin, genetic variations occur among organisms of a species. Those organisms which have better adaptations to survive in the environment are able to survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings. The organisms not having better characteristics are not bale to survive and those traits get completely removed through the process of evolution.

For example, Darwin studies showed that The Galapagos island comprised of 13 different kinds of finches on different islands. The main difference between these finches was their beaks. The differences in the beaks occurred due to the different modes of nutrition in the finches of different islands.

Inga [223]

Answer:

I would write "terrestrial/lives on land during all life stages" between the frog and pigeon branches.

Explanation:

Jaw evolution has started with fish, so i'd place that before the perch, evolution of four limbs is next and I would plate it between the perch and the frog. Evolution of an egg has ensured that organisms remain terrestrial during all stages of life and don't need to rely on water to lay their eggs. So I would place that between the frog and the pigeon. True mammary glands and true hair, as we know it formed on mammals so i'd place that between the pigeon and the rats (although synapsids evolved similar structures long before birds even existed). And lastly, I would place "walking on two legs" between rats and human branches. Because our ancestors evolved bipedalism relatively late.

Explain the role of diaphragm in the process of breathing

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The diaphragm muscle contacts and relaxes to force the intake and expulsion of air from the lungs.

Explanation:

The diaphragm is a large, dome-shaped skeletal muscle. It is very thin, and is located at the base of the chest just above the abdomen. It plays a very important role during respiration or breathing by forcing the intake and expulsion of air from the lungs.

During inhalation, this muscle contracts, and flattens- in the process, a vacuum is created, effectively pulling air into the space. In exhalation the muscle relaxes, and is no longer flattened, this reduces the volume of the region, forcing air out of the lungs. These contractions occur rhythmically and continuously.
