Darwin’s
research showed that finches beaks are different to fit their food source. It
also started the theories of evolution and natural selection. The
Grant’s research on the Galapagos Islands showed that evolution exists and can
happen over a course of two years. They proved Darwin’s theories are true. Since
all the plants and animals are native to the islands, they had to adapt to the
new food source and climate. Beaks, size, etc. are all changes made to these
organisms to be able to live on the islands.
The Galapagos Islands are located in Ecuador and
sit on the Pacific Ocean. <span>The Galapagos Islands were formed from 3 million
to 5 million years ago. Volcanic eruptions typically shield volcanoes formed
the islands. They are located over a “particularly hot mantel” that causes
volcanic activity. The outcome of many eruptions were islands because the left
overs were pushed to the surface. The Galapagos islands are pretty big reaching
an area of 3,093 miles. The temperatures range from 69 to 84 degrees creating a
typically warm climate. </span>
Darwin studied medicine at age 16, but became
fascinated specimens around the globe. He developed theories of natural
selection and evolution. While he was on the Galapagos islands, he studied
thirteen different species of finches.
He observed finches and different beak
structures. He observed their ability to consume foods such as nuts, bugs, and
fruit. He concluded all were related to their beaks. For example, long, slender
beaks are good to reach in the flowers of a cactus.
<span>Charles concluded that the finches beaks are
examples of adaptive radiation. To fit in the island, they had to adapt to the
conditions. This lead to Charles’ theory of natural selection. </span>
Charles came to the conclusion of evolution and
natural selection. Natural selection is the process where organisms adapt to their environment to survive and
produce more offspring. Evolution is where different kinds of living organisms
are thought to have developed. These theories have changed science forever and
leave today’s scientists marveling of his theories.
I hope this helps:)
The independent variable is the type of food available.<span>The dependent variable is the frequency of each type of beak (or number of birds with each beak type)</span>
Answer: Classified as a theory.
Explanation: The dictionary definition of theory is a system of ideas that are used to logically explain something. It also says that they are also based off of something not entirely connected to the thing the theory is being made about.
Because the idea that the universe has expanded explains such a large number of observations, which in turn leads to more predictions and therefore more observations that support it, this becomes your system of ideas. Because this system was based off of the aforementioned observations in the first paragraph, this proves that it is best classified as a theory.
33% is the unknown concentration of the tube.
Explanation:
Concentration of stock of windex = 50%
concentration of bacteria = 500 microliter
nutrient broth = 1000 micro litre +500 microlitre of windex
concentration of bacteria is the volume of bacteria present in nutrient broth culture.
total volume in the tube is 1000
50% is the concentration of tube of bacteria and broth before adding windex.
After adding windex of 50 % concentration and the volume is 500 microliter which is only 250 microliter of windex rest is water.
33% is the concentration of the tube, which means it has 33% of bacteria in 1500 ml of solution.
