1) The cell membrane surrounds the cytoplasm and prevents it from spreading out of the cell
2) Albumin which is a protein transport free fatty acids, which result from lipid digestion, in the blood stream by binding to it
3) The nucleus contains the chromosomes which carry the DNA on them
Answer:
C. Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.
D. Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.
E. Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.
Explanation:
The presence of genetic variations among the individuals of a population is required for natural selection to be operative. Natural selection targets the beneficial genetic variations present in the population. Natural selection refers to the differential reproductive and survival success of organisms of a population due to some beneficial genetic traits. These organisms with beneficial genetic traits are able to survive and leave more progeny under prevailing conditions.
If the natural selection has occurred in the ground finch population for the beak size, the beak size should be a genetic trait since natural selection works on genetic traits only. The finch population should have variations with respect to the beak size. The finches having the larger beak size that enabled them to feed on larger, tougher seeds should have higher survival and reproductive fitness during the drought.
Under these conditions, natural selection would favor the finches with larger beak size and would eventually result in an increase in the average beak size of the future generations.
Answer:
Geological processes" are defined as the natural forces that changes the shape of Earth. Several geological processes include erosion, sedimentation and chemical weathering that affect the Earth’s surface.
So, the geological processes such as plate tectonics and erosion et-cetra are occurring long time and still occurring in the Earth environment.
Answer: plucking
Plucking is a type of glacier erosion.Plucking occurs when the ice around the broken rocks, gets displaced with the force exerted by the retreating glacier. The glacier ice plucks the freezed rocks away along with it during glacier erosion.
