The variation in beak type enables the different individuals in a population to feed on different food sources.
The shape of the beak is key to determining the primary food source of the bird. Certain birds species have specialized beaks, but within populations of those species, there is a variation in beak shape.
This gives the population the ability to respond to changes in the environment and availability of different food sources.
For example, if because of a dry period there is a shortage of fruit, some individuals in the population have the beaks that enable them to feed on other things, survive and leave offspring.
Answer:
65536 cells
Explanation:
starting from 1 cell at zero minutes there will be 1 (2^0) cell; 2^0 = 1
after 15 minutes there will be 2 (2^1) cells
after another 15 minutes ( 30 min) there will be 4 ( 2²) cells
after another 15 minutes ( 45 min) there will be 8 (2³) cells
after n number of 15 minutes there will be (2^n) cells
calculate number of 15 minutes in 4 hours
4 hours = 4 × 60 minutes
number ( n) of 15 minutes in 4 hours = (4 × 60 minutes) / 15 minute = 16
using the formula above and substitute 16 for n in the formula
Number of cells = 2 ^n = 2^16 = 65536 cells
This would be an example of:
C) an insertion mutation.
Notice how the sequence contains the same letters as before, only an A is added to the beginning. Adding extra nucleotides is an example of an insertion mutation, a type of frame-shift also, because the reading frame will be thrown off downstream.
