What most likely brought the finches to the Hawaiian Islands?

Biology
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Bird irruption and climatic phenomena subsequently

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands are extremely diverse in both flora and fauna species. Today, similarly to the Galapagos Islands, there are thousands of species of Hawaiian finches, some of them eat seeds, others fruit, while other nectar, etc. Also, their beaks and colors are incredibly variable.

After years of research, scientists determined that it was one finch progenitor that arrived from Asia to the Hawaiian Islands around 6 million years ago, which gave rise to this process of speciation. This situation, as suggested by the researchers, occured due to a phenomenon known as 'irruption', characterized by the movement of hundreds to thousands of birds from one region to another located very far.

This finch is suggested to have gotten carried away in a storm, which eventually brought it to the Hawaiian Islands.

What is a chromosome? ( In simple terms please)
ratelena [41]
Well the definition in an actual dictionary or scientific book is quite confusing, so to put it simply:
A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

If that makes any sense.
That’s really as simple as I know it.
Chromosomes are complex, so a simple definition doesn’t come easy.
Happy to help!

Word bank: (Thermosphere) (Aurora boreal is) ( Large-scale air turbulence and mixing at this layer) ( Stratosphere) (The coldest
Lyrx [107]
  • Thermosphere - Fourth layer of Earth's atmosphere.
  • Aurora Borealis - Ionosphere layer of thermosphere.
  • Large-scale air turbulence and mixing at this layer - Troposphere
  • Stratosphere - Second lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. No Air turbulence so airplanes fly in this layer.
  • The coldest temperatures in the atmosphere occur at the junction- of Stratosphere and mesosphere
  • Maximum ozone - Ozone layer in Stratosphere

Explanation:

Atmosphere is formed by mixing of gases. The layers of atmosphere is given below.

1. Troposphere -

  • The first layer of the atmosphere.
  • Weather occurs in this layer.

2.Stratosphere -

  • The second layer of Earth's atmosphere.
  • Contains Ozone layer.

3. Mesosphere -

  • The third layer above the stratosphere.
  • Coldest layer.

4. Thermosphere -

  • The fourth layer of the atmosphere.
  • Warmest layer.
  • Ionosphere - lowest level of thermosphere above mesosphere.
  • Aurora Borealis, Northern and Southern lights are seen in this layer.
  • Exosphere - outermost layer of thermosphere.
  • Satellites are in this layer.
  • Outer space with no gravity.

¿Como realiza la respiración las levaduras y que resultado se obtiene?​
natita [175]

Answer:

Cuando la levadura activa (viva) tiene tanto azúcar como oxígeno disponibles, "respira" mediante un proceso llamado respiración aeróbica. En esta reacción, las células de levadura utilizan glucosa (azúcar) y oxígeno (del aire) para producir energía. También producen agua y dióxido de carbono (un gas). Este es el mismo proceso químico utilizado por los humanos.

After the death of producers and consumers, decomposers (such as Actinobacteria, or other bacteria which are prokaryotes) eat that dead organisms and carbon, nitrogen, and other elements are released into the environment. It should be taken into consideration that eukaryotes (such as fungi) can be decomposers as well.
