The Galapagos Islands are a home to many endemic species. These species are found nowhere else on Earth. The picture shows some

examples of marine iguanas and how they differ from island to island.
On Isabella, they are huge, mostly dark, and have huge spikes down their back. On Espanola, they are very colorful. On Fernandina, they are dark and moderate in size.
How did these iguanas, with such physical differences from island to island, change over time?
A) The different populations of iguanas on each island were established separately. Each population originated from S. America and most likely came over on floating vegetation.
B) According to the theory of evolution, the individual selects which traits are best suited to the environment and chooses to pass these traits on to offspring. Because the island populations are isolated from each other, these differences accumulate over time.
C) Marine iguanas acquire traits that are best suited to them during their lifetime and pass on these traits to their offspring. For example, some iguanas who need protection, will grow larger spikes on their head. This trait will then be passed to their offspring.
D) An original population of land iguanas came over on floating vegetation from South America. Over time, two species evolved, land and marine. Marine iguanas made their way to different islands and once isolated on their own islands, accumulated adaptations most suited to their island.

How is perspiration related to recovery after exercise?
lys-0071 [83]
I would say that the way perspiration is related to recovery after exercise is that the body replenishes water and ions during perspiration so the muscles can rest and repair during the cool down period.

Which of the following correctly compares Ornithischian and Saurischian dinosaurs?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The option c is partly correct.

Explanation:

None of the statements is completely accurate because:

a. Saurischian dinosaurs include theropod and sauropod dinosaurs, and their common ancestors. Ornithischians comprise neornithischians (ornithopods and ceratopsians), thyreophorans (ankylosaurs and stegosaurs) and heterdontosaurids.

b. Capability to fly has only been documented in fossils belonging to Saurischia (where the birds are also classified in). Feathers, on the other hand, do appear in the two clades. Feathers, however, are not a trait exclusively associated to flight.

c. This is a correct comparison between ornithischians and saurischians in the sense that the attributes do belong to these clades, but when comparing animals there most be a comparison that reflects a pattern. Ornithischians have leaf shaped teeth suited to eat plant material, whereas saurischians have teeth for a carnivore and herbivore diet.

d. Sauropods are saurischians and they evolved herbivory from a meat-eater ancestor.
