On the Galapagos one of the members of the founder species of finches was born with a larger beak than the others. This advantag

eous trait spread through the population enough to lead to a whole new species. What would most likely have happened to the first finch with the big beak if it had been born on the continent of South America? A. It would not have had any finches with which to mate. B. It would have produced offspring with small beaks. C. It would have outcompeted the other finches in the area. D. It would have been outcompeted by other organisms in the area.

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C. It would have outcompeted the other finches in the area

The finch with large beak has survival advantage over the finches with small beaks.

With this trait they can reach and explore more resources than the finches with small beaks.

In addition, the trait would increase in the population under the process of natural selection.

Thus, the finch with large beak would out-compete the finches with smaller beaks.

We already know that the long beak is advantageous for finches: it was an advantage on Galapagos. Therefore, it would also probably be an advantage in South America, and as a result, <span>. C. It would have outcompeted the other finches in the area. </span>

Why is it important to stain youngcultures of bacteria with<br> the grain stain?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Because older cultures of gram-positive bacteria tend to lose their ability to retain crystal-violet in the peptidoglycan of their cell walls and can be confused with gram-negative bacteria.

Explanation:

Gram staining is used to differentiate between two major groups of bacteria. Gram-positive and gram-negative, these bacteria differ in the amount of peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Gram-positive bacteria have a higher amount of peptidoglycan, which absorbs the violet crystal complex used in gram staining, staining them purple/violet. Old cultures of gram-positive bacteria tend to lose the ability to retain the violet crystal and are stained by safranine, staining them red/pink and appear to be gram-negative.

When cells perform photosynthesis, they transform energy from one form to another, what takes place during photosynthesis?
Oxana [17]

During photosynthesis, solar/light energy from the sun is transformed into C6H12O6, or glucose (chemical energy). Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods (glucose) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen (O2) and glucose.

student designed an experiment testing the effect of light distance on the rate of photosynthesis. she placed samples of elodea
Leno4ka [110]

The amount of oxygen produced can be quantified in order to determine the rate of photosynthesis. Elodea leaves are divided into little pieces, and the cut ends are put into the funnel's stem.

<h3>What did Elodea's bubbles in this experiment represent?</h3>

The bubbles that you observe rising from an elodea cutting's leaves are actually a result of the photosynthesis process. In some types of algae and in plants, photosynthesis takes place. In the process, light energy is changed into a sort of chemical energy that is then stored as sugar.

<h3>What substance did we use to examine whether photosynthesis existed in Elodea?</h3>

To test whether photosynthesis and/or other processes are occurring, you will conduct experiments using the dye Phenol Red in this exercise. In Elodea plants, cellular respiration is taking place. The experiments look into how light affects these processes.

The bones in the wings of birds and bats are _______ because they derived from a _______ ancestor, while the wings are _______ t
dolphi86 [110]
The answer is: homologous; common; homoplastic.

<span>The bones in the wings of birds and bats are <u>homologous</u> because they derived from a <u>common</u> ancestor, while the wings are <u>homoplastic</u> traits. Homologous structures are similar structures shared by different groups and that are derived from a common ancestor. The similar anatomy of bones in the wings of birds and bats is inherited from a common ancestor of tetrapods (to which birds and bats belong). However, wings are not inherited from the common ancestor of birds and bats. Therefore, wins are homoplastic traits (analogous structures) because they have similar function but they are not inherited from the common ancentor.</span>
