<span>The answer to this question is c that Darwin found different types of finches not different types of birds. The discovery prompted Darwin to realize that the different types of adaptation allowed the varying types of finches to perform specific functions in their habitats. The finches had different size beaks and varied in color.</span>

The birds Darwin found in the Galapagos were different types of finches, not separate types of birds led Darwin to develop his theories on adaptation.

Further Explanation:

When Darwin collected many specimens of finches from three islands, it was seen that his collection was closely related group of distinct species. All finches were similar to one another except for their beaks. Those finches radiated from a single species that colonized the Galapagos.

Darwin finches suggest that they are descendants from a single species. Their ancestors appeared on Galapagos and evolved into different species relating to the beak shape, body size, and size, feeding behavior etc. Darwin finches colonized the Galapagos Island. Their species evolved and move to different habitats which best suits their lifestyle. Darwin concluded that birds adapt to their environment in order to survive on available food and to best suit their lifestyle.

Darwin finches migrate to Galapagos Island and they evolved from a common ancestor into 15 different species. Darwin finches had diversified and adapted to eat different foods.

Which of the following is true?
Arlecino [84]

During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.

A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition

B the cytoplasm divides

C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase

D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

E two identical daughter cells are produced

Answer:

D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.

In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.

During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.
