Data was collected concerning Galapagos bird beak size over time. There are several species finches, and they are also known as

Darwin's Finches. These finches share the same habits and characteristics except for one; they all have different shaped and sized beaks. The differences in their beaks might be the most important aspect of their survival. Around 1977, there was a huge drop in finches with small beaks while there was a great increase in large-beaked birds. How can you explain this?

Finches adapt to the new conditions such as drought by changing the size, shape and depth of their beaks. Beak morphology varies according to drought conditions. Since after the drought, vegetation dries out and the hard, big, tough seeds remain, only the finches with deep beaks will survive. Finches adapt via their beaks to different foods sources and different local conditions.

Answer:

Darwin studied the finches which differed mainly in their beak shape and size.  These finches evolved with various beak sizes based on the availability of food. Long beaks would be helpful to pick the seed from the cactus fruits whereas short beaks would be helpful to feed on seeds at the ground level. The unavailability of food i.e seeds at the ground level would have caused such changes. Its survival of the fittest while adapting to their new or changed environment.

Answer:

Genetically modified organisms or GMOs can be characterized as living beings (for example plants, creatures or microorganisms) in which the hereditary material (DNA) has been changed in a way that doesn't happen normally by mating and additionally common recombination. The innovation is regularly called "present day biotechnology" or "quality innovation", now and again likewise "recombinant DNA innovation" or "hereditary designing". It permits chosen singular qualities to be moved from one life form into another, likewise between nonrelated species. Nourishments created from or utilizing GM life forms are regularly alluded to as GM nourishments.  

GM nourishments are created – and promoted – in light of the fact that there is some apparent bit of leeway either to the maker or customer of these nourishments. This is intended to convert into an item with a lower cost, more prominent advantage (regarding toughness or healthy benefit) or both. At first GM seed engineers needed their items to be acknowledged by makers and have focused on advancements that carry direct advantage to ranchers (and the food business by and large).  

One of the destinations for creating plants dependent on GM life forms is to improve crop insurance. The GM crops as of now available are fundamentally focused on an expanded degree of harvest security through the presentation of obstruction against plant infections brought about by creepy crawlies or infections or through expanded resilience towards herbicides.  

Resistance for insects is accomplished by consolidating into the food plant the quality for toxins creation from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). This poison is presently utilized as an ordinary bug spray in agribusiness and is ok for human utilization. GM crops that inalienably produce this poison have been appeared to require lower amounts of bug sprays in explicit circumstances, for example where nuisance pressure is high. Infection obstruction is accomplished through the presentation of quality from certain infections that cause sickness in plants. Infection opposition makes plants less helpless to sicknesses brought about by such infections, bringing about higher harvest yields.  

Herbicide resilience is accomplished through the presentation of a quality from a bacterium passing on protection from certain herbicides. In circumstances where weed pressure is high, the utilization of such harvests has brought about a decrease in the amount of the herbicides utilized.

How do plants get the nitrogen they need?
ololo11 [35]

Correct answer: D) From bacteria living in their roots

Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrients, but it is metabolically unavailable to higher plants and animals. It is available to some species of microorganism by biological nitrogen fixation in which nitrogen is converted to ammonia with the help of enzyme dinitrogenase.

The process of breaking apart the two atoms in a nitrogen molecule is called nitrogen fixation. Plant obtain the nitrogen they need from the soil which is already fixed by the bacteria and archae.

Example: <em>Azobacter</em><em>,</em> Nostac
