Finch species living on the Galapagos Islands exhibit a variety of beak types that favor different foods. Finches that eat seeds

and plant parts have beaks of the shorter, thicker variety, while finches that eat insects and other small organisms have thin, pointed beaks. 78% of the finches on an island in the Galapagos have beaks that are identical to Finch 1. What does this tell you about the availability of food for the finches on this island?
A) There is an abundance of insects.
B) There is an abundance of seeds and nuts.
C) There is a wide variety of foods for the finches to eat.
D) Plants have died out and there are only insects for food.

Explanation:

<u>B) There is an abundance of seeds and nuts.</u>

The finches have developed adaptations to their environment. Their specialized beaks allow them to adequately exploit the available resources, by utilizing the more abundant food source.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained.

Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.  Crossing over, independent assortment, and random fertilization ensure genetic variation.

This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species; they form new traits called alleles, which may confer adaptations that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring an advantage.

Answer:

i) Rusting occurs the least in tubes 2 and 3 because either of air and water which are necessary for rusting is absent in the two tubes respectively.

ii) Rusting occurs most in tube 1 because both air and water which are necessary for rusting are present.

Explanation:

Rusting is a chemical change which involves a redox reaction. During the process of rusting, metallic iron is oxidized to hydrated iron (iii) oxide by oxygen present in air.

For rusting to take place effectively, each of these three factors mist be available: metallic iron, oxygen and water.

In the figure above, the iron nails in the three tester tubes will rust to different extents based on the availability of the three factors.

In test tube 1, the iron nails will rust the most because all the three factors: metallic iron, oxygen present in air, and water are abundantly present.

In test tube 2, the iron nails will rust the least or not at all because boiling of water removes dissolved oxygen from water and the oil layer above the boiled water prevents entry of oxygen from air. Thus, the nail do not rust because one of the three factors for rusting to take place, in this instance, oxygen is absent.

In test tube 3, the iron nails rusts the least or not at all as well because moisture or water is absent. Calcium chloride, a drying agent removes all the moisture from inside the tube. Hence, even though air is present, rusting do not occur as there is no moisture or water present.

List, in order, all the vessels blood must flow through to get from the abdominal aorta into the kidney and back to the inferior
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Kidneys are the important organ of excretion. Human kidneys are bean shaped located below the rib cage. Different vessels are involved in the transportation of blood from the abdominal aorta  and back to the inferior vena cava.

The order of blood vessels are:

The blood enters in the aorta and and moves to the renal artery. Then the blood moves to the interlobar artery via segmental artery. The blood enters in the afferent glomerular arteriole from the arcuate artery and cortical radiate artery. Glomerulus receive the blood from the afferent glomerular arteriole. Then, the blood moves to the efferent glomerular arteriole. The blood then enters in the cortical radiate vein via peritubular capillaries and vasa recta. The blood moves back to the inferior vena cava from the arcuate vein, interlobar vein and renal vein.
