Answer;

A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

Explanation;

-Islands tend to host very distinct but limited sets or species; on a given island a spectacular collection of one related group of species would be present and thriving, but many entire families or even higher taxa would be completely absent.

-All the species on the islands and the nearest continent are closely related to one another, however, each species had a set of adaptations that suits it for a particular environment. This means that the island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

What observations are consistent with the conclusion that DNA serves as the genetic material in eukaryotes? Select the four corr
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:DNA is shown to be the genetic material in bacteria and some phages.

DNA is shown to be present in mitochondria, chloroplasts and nucleus, where genetic function is performed

Specific genes can be isolated and spliced into bacterial DNA, which can be inserted into a bacterial cell, and then its genetic expression is monitored.

DNA and RNA are found to be the only macromolecules in eukaryotes that consist of a set of subunits which can combine in unique sequence

Explanation:

1. Lipds is another macro molecule with different subnits  of  fatty acids and glycerol,therefore the option ( DNA is found to be the only macro molecule in Eukaryotas that has different sub units) is WRONG.

2 The   correlation of action and absorption spectra varies with different organisms DNA. e..g  in viral cells  there is a wide difference between the absorption and action spectra, that is no correlation, while  some bacterial cells showed correlations. The option(For DNA, content in various cell types action and absorption spectra of ultraviolet light are correlated IS WRONG.

Please help!!! <br> What are things that tend to gain electrons and become negative
mafiozo [28]

Explanation:

This electron exchange results in an electrostatic attraction between the two atoms called an ionic bond. An atom that loses one or more valence electrons to become a positively charged ion is known as a cation, while an atom that gains electrons and becomes negatively charged is known as an anion.

the diploid number of chromosomes in horses is 64. what is the haploid number of chromosomes in horses?
OlgaM077 [116]
The haploid number of the chromosomes should be 32. 

Diploid number means that they have the complete sets of chromosomes in their cells, these cells are usually found in somatic (body) cells and different organisms have a different number. For example, a human somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, such as a muscle cell, or a skin cell etc. 

Meanwhile, haploid number means that the number of chromosomes in the cell only have half of the chromosome number than that of the diploid cells. These haploid cells are usually found in gametes of sexually reproducing organisms, such as human, we have 23 chromosomes in our sex cells. This is important because we have to make sure the chromosome number of offsprings are not doubled, as during sexual reproduction, male and female gametes fuse together to form a zygote. 

Therefore, to calculate the haploid number of a cell, we can divide the diploid number by 2, which is 64/2, and the answer would be 32.
