Why are finches important to Darwin's idea?

Biology

marissa [1.9K]3 years ago

It helps to give solid evidence of natural selection. The idea is that there are a number of finches in the Galapagos Islands. These birds vary slightly in appearance, in the function of their beaks and in size. Two species can eventually alter themselves because of the environmental conditions they live in. Some traits will be passed on or developed in one group and not in the other or vica versa. These finches are remarkable in that it did not take long for the changes to take place. It is probably one of the strongest reasons for believing in natural selection, because only those birds who could adapt to change could easily pass on these advantages to their offspring. The relatively short period of time to enact these changes is what makes the this example  so attractive.

<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6

Another term for the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. The Calvin Cycle

Explanation:

The light-independent reactions cover half of photosynthesis, with the other half being the light-dependent reactions. Another word for this process is the Calvin cycle. It is named after the biologist, Melvin C. Calvin, who discovered it. The Calvin cycle is responsible for turning carbon dioxide into glucose. It also requires no light, hence its other name. Additionally, because it is occasionally called the Calvin cycle, sometimes, the light-dependent reaction is simply called the light cycle.
