Answer;

C. The finches all appeared to be related but differed from the mainland population.

Explanation;

-The basic idea of biological evolution is that populations and species of organisms change over time. Darwin proposed that species evolve and that all living things can trace their descent to a common ancestor.

-He suggested a mechanism for evolution: natural selection, in which heritable traits that help organisms survive and reproduce become more common in a population over time. Darwin found that nearby islands in the Galápagos had similar but nonidentical species of finches living on them. Moreover, he noted that each finch species was well-suited for its environment and role.

Which of the following best describes why in general there are more hares in the ecosystem than foxes.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Semenov [28]
The skin is an example of a non-specific defense.
For example, bacteria or diseases have trouble entering a healthy person's skin because it is formed by closely packed cells with multiple layers and a substance called keratin that protects is.

On the other hand, the immune system is a specific defense mechanism. 
When bacteria is able to enter the body in cases of fever for example, the immune system is activate and sends out protector cells such as the white blood cells to combat infection.

What do many scientists believe about the purpose for asteroids.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Various scientists describe asteroids in different ways:

  • Some scientists consider it to be rocks which orbit around the sun.
  • Other consider it to be small planets.

The majority of the scientists agree that asteroids might have come into existence at the time of solar formation. The parts which broke down during the formation of the solar system resulted in the formation of asteroids.

<u><em>Scientists believe that asteroids might not have a major function in the universe but studying them would be of great benefit. This is because as they are parts broken from the solar system, exploring them will let us know about some unknown features of the other solar system bodies. </em></u>
