Answer: C. The finches all appeared to be related but different from the mainland population.

Darwin compared the finches of Galapagoes island and Mainland. He hypothesized the fact that one species might have migrated to the Galapagoes island from mainland and undergone with modifications in different ends from the ancestor species. He proposed that around 13 species of finches evolved from a single ancestor species. This process in which one species giving rise to multiple species which have different corresponding niches is called as adaptive radiation. These finches were adapted according to their different diets: seeds, flowers, insects and leaves. The ancestor finches were ground-dwelling and insect eating. The expense of speciation  in the Galapagoes island resulted in 14 species of finches which includes three species of ground-dwelling seed eaters, three others living on cactus and eating seeds, one living in trees and eating seeds, and 7 species of tree-dwelling insect-eaters. Therefore, the finches all appeared to be related but different from the mainland population.

D can be eliminated because the temperatures where changed in 3 ways, not two.

A is true, but doesn't apply to the actual experiment "design"

B we don't know for sure, it just looks like a cup/glass.

Best answer for you: C

C is true- it was tested with a single independent variable (one that does not change) on multiple trials (the different temperatures)

What set of characteristics do living organisms such as birds, trees, and bacteria have that distinguish them from nonliving thi
Sergio [31]
The 7 (sometimes 8) characteristics of life are:
1. living things are composed of cells
2. living things have different levels of organization
3. living things metabolize (i.e. use energy)
4. living things respond to their environment
5. living things grow
6. living things reproduce
7. living things adapt to their environment
(some sources include) 8. living things have genetic material

Viruses do not metabolize, they do not grow, they do not adapt to their environment, and they cannot reproduce independently; viruses require host cells to reproduce and perform the other functions that give them the appearance of aliveness.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

With respect to the differences in the DNA sequence of six species, including the human one, it is true that the DNA sequences may vary but the aminoacid sequences are identical.

Explanation:

Options for this question:

  • <em>The DNA sequences may vary but the amino acid sequences are identical. </em>
  • The nitrogen bases in the nucleotides must also be different in each.
  • The process in producing additional DNA, replication, is identical in all six.
  • The process of producing DNA, or replication, varies due to the differences in the DNA codes.

The different species that exist have specific genomes for each of them, this is the <u>genetic information contained in the DNA varies from one species to another</u>, as can be seen in the scheme (see image). However, the genetic code is universal, and does not vary from one species to another.

The genetic code is found in the RNA molecule and is a sequence of nucleotides that, organized in triplets (codons), are responsible for the synthesis of specific amino acids. An RNA molecule contains the information necessary for protein synthesis.

The scheme shows the differences of five species with respect to the human, based on the respective DNA sequences. But what it does not show is a universally accepted truth, that the nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid is the same for each of these species.
