Adaptation

Adaption is the biological process by nature of fitting an organism to its environment.

The finches on the different islands share the same ancestral population that migrated to the Galapagos Islands. However, due to the different environmental conditions on the different islands, the population adapted variably to enable them survive on their respective islands.

Explanation:

Adaptation occurs by natural selection pressures on a population. The individuals with desired traits are more likely to reach maturity and pass down their genes the next generation (due to competition for resources). Therefore, over generation, there will be more and more individuals with these desired traits and fewer and fewer with undesirable traits. The population, therefore, evolves with time. In the case of the Finches this is called divergent evolution/radiation.

If 1/8 remains after 21 years, what is the half-life?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Half life formula

The number of unstable nuclei remaining after time t can be determined according to this equation:

N(t) = N(0) * 0.5^(t/T)

where:

N(t) is the remaining quantity of a substance after time t has elapsed.

N(0) is the initial quantity of this substance.

T is the half-life.

It is also possible to determine the remaining quantity of a substance using a few other parameters:

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/τ)

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-λt)

τ is the mean lifetime - the average amount of time a nucleus remains intact.

λ is the decay constant (rate of decay).

All three of the parameters characterizing a substance's radioactivity are related in the following way:

T = ln(2)/λ = ln(2)*τ

How to calculate the half life

Determine the initial amount of a substance. For example, N(0) = 2.5 kg.

Determine the final amount of a substance - for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg.

Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. In our experiment, we observed that it took 5 minutes.

Input these values into our half life calculator. It will compute a result for you instantaneously - in this case, the half life is equal to 19.88 minutes.

If you are not certain that our calculator returned the correct result, you can always check it using the half life formula.

State how the amino acid sequence you obtained from the gene fragment for botana curus compares with the sequences for the other
coldgirl [10]

The amino acid sequence in protein from the gene fragment for botana curus is the same with species Z that is valine, histidine, leucine, threonine, proline, glutamine and glutamine. Meanwhile, species X and species Y has different amino acid sequence compared to botana curus. Therefore, species Z is most closely related to botana curus because both species has the same amino acid sequence and has similar sized DNA fragments.
