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.

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.

So were is the genetic material find in a prokaryotic cell
tiny-mole [99]
Endomembrane system -- not in prokaryotes
cytoskeleton -- a structural part of cytoplasm sometimes occurrent in prokaryotes
mitochondria -- not in prokaryotes 
nucleus -- if this is a "membrane-bound" nucleus, then definitely not in prokaryotes
cytoplasm -- this is the fluid that houses everything in the cell membrane
flagella -- little "tail" for locomotion, so no
cilia -- similar to flagella, little feelers usually for locomotion 
ribosomes -- these make protein using amino acids
chloroplasts -- not in prokaryotes
membrane -- just a casing surrounding a cell or organelle
organelles -- general word for the parts of a cell that perform various functions
cell membrane -- just the casing for the cell, not where genetic material's located
<span>nucleoid --- ding ding ding :-) this is it; a nucleoid is the genetic material which is loosely existing in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell</span>

How does soil affect the surface of the earth
Blizzard [7]

The type of soil varies from place to place on our planet and can even vary from one place to another in your own backyard. Soil erosion, caused by wind and rain, can change land by wearing down mountains, creating valleys, making rivers appear and disappear.
