While visiting the Galapagos Islands in 1835, Charles Darwin collected over thirteen different species of a type of bird called

a finch. He later observed that the birds were similar in many ways but often differed in the size and shape of their beaks. Which statement BEST summarizes Darwin's explanantion for the different beaks he observed in these finch species?

The finches had all descended from a common ancestor but their beaks had changed over time as the ones that were better at eating the food on their islands ate more food and were more likely to survive and pass on their superior beak to their offspring.

The beak of each finch species is a result of natural selection.

What macromolecules would you find in sausage, pepperoni and bacon pizza?
Dmitrij [34]
Answer: carbohydrate, protein and fat.

There are 3 kind of macromolecules: carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Carbohydrate mostly found in a plant like rice, wheat, barley. In this case, it's on the pizza dough.

Protein mostly found on muscle or meat. Some meat also has fat because they are not separated when cut, like bacon. Fat found in the subcutaneus tissue of animal or oil. Sausages, pepperoni, and bacon have much protein and some fat.

During meiosis homologous chromosomes often twist around each other break exchange segments and rejoin this process usually cont
Annette [7]

Explanation:

Crossing over, or genetic recombination contributes to genetic variation and diversity.

In early Prophase I of meiosis, crossing over occurs. This is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined. The chromosome pairs form tetrads held together at chiasmata.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained. Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

During the process of prophase I one the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on chromatids are aligned precisely. The syanpsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Crossing over contributes to genetic variation and diversity; novel gene combinations in gametes are formed, which are not present in parent chromosomes. Genetic diversity describes all the genetic characteristics or traits within a species.

andriy [413]

Answer:

hydrosphere and biosphere

Explanation:

The spheres of the Earth are lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere etc. Hydrosphere refers to the collection of all the water bodies on the surface of the Earth e.g oceans, lakes, rivers etc. On the other hand, biosphere refers to the collection of life on Earth e.g plants, animals, microbes etc.

In this question, Water availability is said to impact plant growth and the animals who depend on plants for food. These water availability and the living organisms (plants and animals) it impacts are interactions between the HYDROSPHERE AND BIOSPHERE.
