Hi

It is true that on the Galapagos islands Darwin observed tortoises with a dome and saddle shaped shells, you can see both in attached image.

Darwin observed that Galapagos Tortoises had the shells with different shapes depending on the Island they live, For example: The tortoises with saddle shaped shells were able to reach up to eat leaves of plants while the tortoises with dome shaped shells would not reach up and they would eat food from on ground sources. This made him think that the differences in tortoise shell is also a strong evidence that indicates that how tortoises have adapted themselves to better get their food as per the available resources and how they have evolved from same ancestral specie into two different species. This point also helped him in proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Hope it helps!

alexgriva [62]

The complete question is :

The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.

A) whether there is simultaneous migration of herbivores

B) their tolerance to shade

C) their seed dispersal rate

D) their size

Answer: The seed dispersal rate

Explanation:

The  seed dispersal can be defined as the movement of the seeds away from the parent plant. The ability of the plant to extend is completely dependent on the ability of the plant to disperse its seeds.

Plants have very limited ability, they need vectors to carry its seed from one place to another.

The biotic and abiotic vector both are involved in carrying the seeds which helps in expansion of the trees.

hence, the correct answer is option C

A single strand of DNA helix has the code CGCTAA. Which would be the complementary code on the other strand of the helix?
Yakvenalex [24]

The correct answer is option 4, that is, GCGATT.  

Complementary strand refers to either of the two chains, which forms a double helix of DNA, with corresponding positions on the two chains comprising of a pair of complementary bases. It is a section of one nucleic acid, which is bonded to another by an alignment of base pairs.  

In nature, complementarity refers to the base principle of DNA transcription and replication as it is a characteristic shared between the two RNA or DNA sequences, such that when they are arranged antiparallel to each other, the nucleotide bases at each position in the sequences will be complementary.
