The answer is Alfred Wallace.
Darwin began formulating his theory of natural selection in the late 1830s but he went on working silently on it for twenty years. He wanted to amass a wealth of evidence before publicly presenting his idea. During those years he corresponded briefly with Wallace (right), who was exploring the wildlife of South America and Asia. Wallace supplied Darwin's help publishing his own ideas on evolution. He sent Darwin his theory in 1858, which, to Darwin's shock, nearly replicated Darwin's own.

a particular peach tree produces peaches that are more resistant to disease than other peaches. what method would reproduce thes

zhenek [66]

The best way to get the exact preach tree is through Asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction is the only method of reproduction in which the exact copies of genes in the parents are transferred to the offspring. If cross pollinations( Sexual reproduction') with the a peaches plants from a different parents plants takes place, genetic variation at meiosis will not permit the inheritance of the exact copies of genes for diseases resistance.

Therefore, it is ideal in this scenario to by pass crossing over and recombination at meiosis, in order get the exact copes of genes for disease resistance through mitosis in the offspring, asexual preproduction is used.

Which type of carbohydrate is this?

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

monosaccharide is derived from mono, meaning "one", and saccharide, meaning "sugar". The common monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Each simple sugar has a cyclic structure and is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in ratios of 1:2:1 respectively. Although each sugar mainly exists as a cyclic compound, it is important to note that they are all in equilibrium to a small extent with their linear forms.

While galactose and glucose are composed of six-membered rings, fructose has only five carbon atoms bonded to each other in ring form.
