To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (aproximate weight of an atom = neutrons + protons). Therefore the number of neutrons is:
166 - 46 = 120

Storing energy as a fat allows the energy to be conserved long-term. The organism can store a large amount of energy while being insulated.
*some living things store energy as both carbohydrates and lipids
Answer: Beaks---->Evolution, Natural Selction, Genetic Drift, Behavioral Isolation, n Non-random mating...
Explanation:
Darwin observed many discoveries like the Galapagos tortoises, iguanas, penguins, crabs, etc...But one of the most important ones that definitely helped to see the evolution and the process of natural selection is the Galapagos finches they changed a lot mainly because of environmental changes. The Galapagos Islands are special to evolutionary history firstly because there are a lot of different sizes and colors in birds but the main focus was that after Earth was a Pangea, all land united, genetic drift occurred in the Galapagos island meaning that a small population was 'trapped' inside with no way of getting new traits though that's not exactly right because we not only change genetically but also by environmental changes and humans change it too of course(like hunting). Another important discovery that was found there wasn't only hints of evolution and natural selection but also behavioral changes especially in mating, some birds sing or dance it really depends but if some animals don't mate then new species are formed that's one of the reasons why it created a lot of diversity; Another reason to the topic of reproduction is non-random mating, some organisms are looking for some specific location or phenotypes in their mates if they don't find it they look for them in their own species which can cause the extinction of that species or spread it.
Introns stands for intervening sequences within a gene.
Explanation:
Introns are the nucleotide sequences within a gene which are intervening but noncoding regions on an RNA transcript which is spliced before the RNA translation to protein
Introns do not code amino acids for protein synthesis. They break the gene sequence in the DNA strand.
The introns form a large chunk and interfere with the protein coding of exons, hence are removed by splicesomes through splicing at the splice junctions.
Improper splicing of introns lead to faulty protein formation
