Q - Today there are now at least thirteen species of finches on the Galapagos Islands and all of them evolved from one ancestral

species, which colonized the islands a few million years ago. What steps lead to speciation and a diverse range of finch types?
Choices -

a - The ancestral finch was a ground-dwelling, seed-eating finch.

b - The ecological niches throughout the islands exert selection pressures that push specific birds in various directions.

c - In the original population of finches, variations existed.

d - Interbreeding among the various finch types resulted in greater physical and genetic variations.

e - Birds physically changed over time to be able eat the food resources that were available.

f - Different physical traits helped certain finches survive in certain niches, eating specific food.

<h2>Species of finches</h2>

Explanation:

a),b),d),e) are the correct steps which lead to speciation and a diverse range of finch types

Darwin's finches, inhabiting the Galapagos island constitute an iconic model for studies of speciation and adaptive evolution

  • Darwin's finches have evolved into 13 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behavior
  • Changes in the size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such us insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers as well as blood from iguanas, all driven by Darwinian selection
  • Gene flow between species has played a prominent role throughout the evolutionary history of Darwin's finches
  • Interspecies hybridization has played a critical role in the evolution of the finches, and has contributed to maintaining their genetic diversity
  • The ecological niches exert the selection pressures that push the populations in various directions
  • On various islands, finch species have become adapted for different diets: seeds, insects, flowers, the blood of seabirds, and leaves
  • The ancestral finch was a ground-dwelling, seed-eating finch and after the outbreak of speciation in the Galapagos, a total of 13 species would exist

Kelly, who is blind, switches on the fan in her room without anyone's help. she is able to do this because the Somatic nervous system relays the relevant information to her brain.

<h3>Nervous system :</h3>

According to the classical doctrine of the nervous system, an animal's nervous system is a highly sophisticated component that coordinates its movements and sensory data by sending and receiving signals to and from various regions of its body.

<h3>Somatic nervous system :</h3>

The somatic nervous system, also known as the voluntary nervous system, is the area of the peripheral nervous system responsible for the voluntary control of skeletal muscle movement.

A part of the peripheral nervous system called the somatic nervous system is responsible for the voluntary control of skeletal muscle movement.

<h3>Example somatic nervous system</h3>

The cranial nerves, which transmit information from the brain to the head and neck region, are an illustration of the somatic nervous system. In this area, conscious motor functions are under the control of the somatic nervous system.

what is the function of vesicles in the synthesis of proteins and the release or those proteins outside the cell?
Zina [86]

Vesicles transport newly synthesized proteins to the Golgi apparatus. After the Golgi apparatus modifies the proteins, vesicles transport the modified proteins to the cell membrane, where they are released.

Hope this helps!

The ecology question above says : A fast swimming strong body fish such as a swimming which is adapted to clear fast and strong
Dafna11 [192]

Correct question:  A fast swimming strong body fish such as a <u>salmon</u> which is adapted to clear fast and strong water current would most likely be found in which aquatic zone? Options in the attached file

Answer:

Source of a river zone

Explanation:

The fishes body is directly correlated with their environment and the pressures they receive from it. Those animals that are used to living in clear waters, with fast currents must be very strong, must have a hydrodynamic torpedo-like body and big and strong caudal fin to propel against the currents. These animals are used to living in water masses such as the source of a river zone.

Rivers belong to lotic environments, characterized by constant moving water.

  • Profundal zone: Sunlight can not reach this zone, so there are no plants. The Water movement is very limited, and in most cases, water is not clear.
  • Littoral zone: Is the transition zone, near the shore, where the light easily reaches the bottom. Usually, there is plenty of vegetation fixated to the bottom.
  • Wetland zone: In general these are calm water, very rich in diversity, and a proper breeding area for a wide variety of fish.
  • Source of a River zone: Rivers flow from higher to lower areas. They originate at the top of the mountains and fastly descend to finally end in a lake or in the sea.

Some species of salmons characterize by living in the sea during sexual maturity, but whenever they need to breed, they go back to the area where they were born. This is in sweet water. They swim in the river until they reach the place where they are going to oviposit. In order to do this, they need to swim against the current. Many times, females die trying to reach this special place.
