On the Galapagos Islands, Darwin observed tortoises with domed and saddle-shaped shells. How did Darwin's observations of these

tortoises help him form the theory of evolution by natural selection?
A.
The tortoises helped to confirm that environmental changes cannot affect the characteristics of a species.
B.
The tortoises helped to confirm that two similar species do not necessarily share a common ancestor.
C.
The tortoises provided evidence that different species have adaptations suited to their particular environments.
D.
The tortoises provided evidence that the Galapagos had been colonized by tortoises multiple independent times.

Answer:

The correct answer would be C.  The tortoises provided evidence that different species have adaptations suited to their particular environments.

Darwin observed that how different environment on different island lead to the development of different species as a result of adaptations and natural selection.

For example, tortoise inhabiting well-watered islands which used to have short and cropped vegetation had developed a dome-shaped shell.  

In contrast, the tortoise inhabiting the arid islands had developed saddle-shaped shells. It is because they needed to stretch their necks in order to reach branches of cactus and other vegetation available in the area.  

Consequently, they developed long necks and high peak to the front edges of their shells. It made it possible for them to stretch their heads vertically.

ipn [44]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''METAPHASE I.''      

Explanation:

Metaphase I is the stage in which chromosomal studies are generally performed, because its morphology is very clear. The chromosomes, moved by the mitotic spindle, are placed in the center, between the two asters and form the so-called metaphase plate, in which the chromosomes are positioned in such a way that the kinetochore of each sister chromatid are oriented towards the opposite poles. Keeping chromosomes on the cell equator implies a balance between the forces of the microtubules that tend to move the kinetochores toward opposite poles, so positioning them in the center involves a great deal of energy.In each kinetochore, between 20-30 microtubules can be anchored, which exert traction force towards the pole from which they come, so the metaphase plate is maintained by the balance between the opposite forces of the poles on the chromosomes, which hold their sister chromatids by centromeric cohesin.

Which statement regarding phosphoryl group transfers is true?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Option (1).

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell. The ATP molecule is hydrolyzes into ADP ( adenosine diphosphate ) and the inorganic phosphate.

Kinases are the enzymes that are known to add the phosphate group on the substrate. These kinases works in the energy dependent manner and require ATP for its reaction. The phosphate group can be transferred from one molecule to the other molecule as well.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
