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!
Complete question:
Which organisms are secondary consumers in a temperate coniferous forest? Select all that apply:
Answer:
The lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers on the list.
Explanation:
In the trophic web, the energy transference occurs when each organism feeds on the preceding link and is eaten by the following link.
The first ones are the autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter.
The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. <u>Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores</u>, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.
According to the definition of secondary consumers, among the animals on the list, we can assume that the lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers. They are both carnivores and feed on herbivores.
On the other hand, the moose and the elk, are both first consumers.
Answer:
14 CO₂ will be released in the second turn of the cycle
Explanation:
<u>Complete question goes like this</u>, "<em>The CO2 produced in one round of the citric acid cycle does not originate in the acetyl carbons that entered that round. If acetyl-CoA is labeled with 14C at the carbonyl carbon, how many rounds of the cycle are required before 14CO2 is released?</em>"
<u>The answer to this is</u>;
- The labeled Acetyl of Acetyl-CoA becomes the terminal carbon (C4) of succinyl-CoA (which becomes succinate that is a symmetrical four carbon diprotic dicarboxylic acid from alpha-ketoglutarate).
- Succinate converts into fumarate. Fumarate converts into malate, and malate converts into oxaloacetate. Because succinate is symmetrical, the oxaloacetate can have the label at C1 or C4.
- When these condense with acetyl-CoA to begin the second round of the cycle, both of these carbons are discharged as CO2 during the isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase reactions (formation of alpha-ketoglutarate and succinyl-CoA respectively).
Hence, 14 CO₂ will be released in the second turn of the cycle.
The recombinant offsprings are normally the offsprings containing a combination of the parents allele, result in a genotype that differs from both parents genotype. The phenotype May be different as well although it is likely that the phenotype could be the same as the parents, as seen in the case of heterozygous dominant having the same phenotype as homozygous dominant.
Answer:
Archaea domain is closer to eukarya than bacteria because genetically they are more similar to Eukarya than Bacteria.
Explanation:
Options for this question are:
- <em>They both lack a nucleus and contain cytoplasm.
</em>
- <em>The unique functional adaptations of Archaea are more similar to Eukarya adaptations. </em>
- <em>
They both evolved in the same geological time period.
</em>
- <em>
</em><em>Genetically, the Archaea are more similar to Eukarya than Bacteria.
</em>
- <em>
They both have membrane-bound organelles.
</em>
- <em>
Archaea is not closer to Eukarya because it contains prokaryotic cells just like Bacteria.</em>
Archaea are unicellular prokaryotic organisms, which share many characteristics with bacteria, however, the existence of metabolic functions and genes similar to eukaryotic organisms suggest that there is a genetic link between the two. Even the enzymes responsible for genetic processing, such as transcriptases and translation enzymes, are similar to those in eukaryotic cells.
The theory that establishes the relationship between Archaea and Eukaryotic suggests the existence of a common ancestor, whose later evolution allowed an Archaea to join a protobacteria to form a eukaryotic cell, and hence their genetic relationship.
