How did seed availability affect traits of individuals in the medium ground finch population of the galapagos islands

Chemistry

vodomira [7]3 years ago

A little background may help understand this question better: The Galapagos Islands is home to a lot of species but particular interest here is only the finches and their beak sizes. We have the cactus finch that has a long beak well suited for accessing blossoms; the tree finch with parrot-shaped beaks suited for finding insects underneath the barks of trees; and, the ground finch with beaks suited for eating seeds.

Grant and colleagues studied the medium ground finch in order to observe natural selection at work. Medium ground finch were perfect to study because the only major factor that affected their hypothesized evolution was the climate, which <em>affected food availability. </em>The researchers observed that when food became scarce and only <em>large seeds were present</em><em>, </em>only the finch with bigger beaks were able to survive. Those with smaller beaks died of starvation because they could not eat the big seeds. Time went on, and when the researchers measure beak size, they found a significant change in size compared to previous generations.

LekaFEV [45]

The correct answer is D) Dan's sister was correct because Dan's legs touched the car seats. That is an indicator of heat transfer by conduction.

Conduction only happens when a heated object touches a non-heated (or not as heated) object. Radiation did cause the car to become hot, but conduction caused Dan to get burned.

Hope this helps!! :D

Hydrolamine ,NH2OH , is a reducing agent found in some film developing solutions. How many hydrogen atoms are in 1.80moles of hy
kolezko [41]

Answer:

number of hydrogen atom in 1.8 mole of NH2OH = 9.8\times 10^{22}

Explanation:

percentage of hydrogen in NH2OH = mass of hydrogen / mass of whole molecule

                                                             =\frac{3\times 1}{14+3+16}\times 100

                                                             = 9.09 percentage

therefore number of moles in 1.8 moles of hydroxy amine = \frac{9.09}{100}\times 1.8

                                                                = .16 moles of hydrogen

number of hydrogen atom = (number of moles )×(avagadro number)

                                              = 9.8\times 10^{22} atoms of hydrogen
