The correct answer is B. A coating of mucus

Explanation:

In the stomach food that has been chewed is digested or broken down through the action of specialized enzymes and acid. This gastric acid is essential for digestion but is also highly corrosive. Due to this, the stomach produces mucus that forms a coating (known as the gastric mucosal barrier)and allows the stomach to contain the gastric acid without this affecting negatively the stomach lining. This implies that the stomach lining is protected from gastric acid by a coating of mucus.

Which of these is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution?
ycow [4]

The C option is Correct.

  • All the Galapagos finches exist on the same island.

Galapagos finches is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution.

Darwin's finches comprise a group of 15 species endemic to the Galápagos (14 species) and Cocos (1 species) Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The group is monophyletic and originated from an ancestral species that reached the Galápagos Archipelago from Central or South America.

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.
