Both of them (tortoises and anoles) represent examples of evolution observed by different scientist.

Darwin proposed that animals such as Galapagos tortoises changed as they adapted to new environments and this observation led to his theory of evolution by natural selection.

On the other hand, Losos observations were anoles of the Caribbean islands. He noticed that physical characteristics of those animals changed in response to their environment change. The traits that changed were the ones that affect the survival of anoles. Losos also concluded that the similar lizards that are not closely related, but were similar evolved separately in response to their environment. This is known as convergent evolution.

Which is a primary difference between all prokaryotes and eukaryotic cells?

padilas [110]

Answer:

Prokaryotes are the most primitive organism that exists on earth. They have the simplest form of body organization and they do not perform complex tasks.

The eukaryotic cell has nucleus in it and they have more complex machinery in their body to perform various tasks accordingly.

The nucleus of the prokaryotes are not enclosed in the nuclear membrane and it is dissolve in the cytoplasm. It lacks true nucleus.

Eukaryotes have nucleus enclosed inside nuclear membrane.
