Answer:

The correct answer is e. <em>Postzygotic barrier.</em>

Explanation:

Different species can not mate and produce viable, healthy and fertile descendence, due to certain mechanisms of <u>reproductive isolation</u>.

These mechanisms involve different kinds of barriers that make it difficult for two different species to produce viable and fertile progeny.

One of these is the <u>postzygotic barrier</u>, which avoids the hybrid zygote to develope to adultness. In these situations, there is a mix of chromosomes that can not happen to meet or that they lack information.

There are cases in which the embryo dies, but some times the individual can reach some more advanced develope stages.  If this is the case, in general, they can not survive because the organism is unhealthy. And if they reach adultness in good sate they can not leave descendence, as they are sterile.

List 2 adaptations that helped Darwin's finches survive.?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two adaptations of Darwin's Finches that helped them to survive are:

  • Beak structure.
  • Behavioral adaptations to use tools for foraging.

Explanation:

There are fourteen species of Darwin's finches that originated from a single  species of ground dwelling seed eating finch.

These Finches occupied different niche in the Galapagos island  and were widely studied by Darwin.

These finches are one of the best Examples of Adaptive radiation.

Studies state that during severe drought in Galapagos island most vegetation dried out and a few softer seeds were left.

These few seeds were quickly fed upon by the birds and only dry , hard seeds were left.

Only birds who had large and hard beaks could feed on these hard dry seeds.

To Ensure survival the Finches developed adaptations which resulted in hard and large beaks so that they can feed on those dried hard seed.

Some groups started feeding on insects and got their beaks adapted to capture and kill insects.

Second line of adaptation included changes in behaviour and cognitive intelligence where birds started using tools for foraging.

The answer is 51.0 ml but can someone explain why please
professor190 [17]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf A. \ 51 \ mL}

Explanation:

Amount of water displaced by the sphere will be equal to the volume of complete sphere.

As the sphere completely sinks to the bottom of the cup.

We have been given;

Diameter of sphere (d) = 4.6 cm

So,

\sf Radius \:  of \:  sphere  \: (r) =  \frac{Diameter \:  of \:  sphere \: (d)}{2}  \\  \sf =  \frac{4.6}{2}  \\ \sf  = 2.3 \: cm

Volume of sphere (V):

\boxed{ \bold{V =  \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} }}

By substituting value of r we get:

\sf \implies V =  \frac{4}{3}  \times \pi \times  {(2.3)}^{3}  \\  \\  \sf \implies V =  \frac{4}{3}  \times 3.14 \times 12.167 \\  \\ \sf \implies V =    \frac{152.81752}{3} \\  \\   \sf \implies V =  50.94 \:  {cm}^{3}  \\  \\   \sf \implies V  \approx 51 \:  {cm}^{ 3}

1 cm³ = 1 mL

\therefore

V = 51 mL

So,

Water displaced by the sphere = 51 mL

Describe some of the modifications that polypeptide chains undergo before becoming functional proteins
umka2103 [35]
Polypeptide chains undergo some modifications before they become fully functional. Some of these modifications include: proteolytic cleavage, lipidation and glycosylation. Proteolytic cleavage refers to the removal of some amino acids from a polypeptide chain by proteases in order for the protein to become active. An example of a substance that is modified through this process is insulin.
