The study of artificial selection by Darwin helped him to establish his theory of evolution via natural selection. One of the animals Darwin examined in detail was the domestic rock pigeon. In the 1850s breeding of pigeons was an ancient past time, thus, Darwin decided to keep and breed the pigeons by himself.  

While studying pigeons, Darwin established scrupulous determinations of their skeletons and wondered at the breeds' distinct colors, behaviors, and proportions. He also observed the patterns of inheritance of various features, and he demonstrated that birds of very distinct breeds can, however, generate fertile offspring. Thus, supporting the theory that they all originated from a single species.

Instructions: Select the correct layers. Identify the intrusions in the rock layer.
bagirrra123 [75]
The <span>intrusions in the rock layers would be H and J.
</span>Intrusions are formed by crystallization of magma infiltrations inside the Earth's crust. These intrusions happen as magma ascends slowly from within the Earth penetrating any space or fissure that it can find. Because this process is so slow, as pressure is released and temperature decreases, magma solidifies and crystallizes into solid intrusive rocks. They are usually the "layers" that brake through others and appear across several other layers in a different orientation than those.
