Why was the founder species of finches on the Galapagos islands able to form such a large variation of beak types?

A

the founder species of finches on the Galapagos islands able to form such a large variation of beak types because <u>the birds colonizing the islands were reproductively isolated. </u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The different founder species populations on the different islands could not mate randomly due to the distances between the islands. The reproductive isolation of the different populations caused the different populations to adapt to the conditions of their island (environment), by natural selection. Since every island has different environmental conditions, the different populations of finches evolved variable based on their island conditions.

<span>In the right atrium, the auricle and anterior wall exhibit obvious muscular ridges called MUSCULI PECTINATI.

Musculi pectinati or pectinate muscles are identified as specialized intracardiac muscle. The muscular ridges are like combs. These ridges help the right atrium dilate without much walls stress during adverse loading conditions.</span>

The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene regulation
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

READ THIS

Explanation:

To understand how gene expression is regulated, we must first understand how a gene codes for a functional protein in a cell. The process occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, just in slightly different manners.

Prokaryotic organisms are single-celled organisms that lack a cell nucleus, and their DNA therefore floats freely in the cell cytoplasm. To synthesize a protein, the processes of transcription and translation occur almost simultaneously. When the resulting protein is no longer needed, transcription stops. As a result, the primary method to control what type of protein and how much of each protein is expressed in a prokaryotic cell is the regulation of DNA transcription. All of the subsequent steps occur automatically. When more protein is required, more transcription occurs. Therefore, in prokaryotic cells, the control of gene expression is mostly at the transcriptional level.

Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have intracellular organelles that add to their complexity. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is contained inside the cell’s nucleus and there it is transcribed into RNA. The newly synthesized RNA is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where ribosomes translate the RNA into protein. The processes of transcription and translation are physically separated by the nuclear membrane; transcription occurs only within the nucleus, and translation occurs only outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. The regulation of gene expression can occur at all stages of the process (Figure 1). Regulation may occur when the DNA is uncoiled and loosened from nucleosomes to bind transcription factors (epigenetic level), when the RNA is transcribed (transcriptional level), when the RNA is processed and exported to the cytoplasm after it is transcribed (post-transcriptional level), when the RNA is translated into protein (translational level), or after the protein has been made (post-translational level).
