Answer:
The correct answer is option A. "directional selection".
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection at which traits with extreme characteristics are selected over traits with medium characteristics. In this case, a long-term climatic change resulted in all seeds that are the fountain of food for finch becoming hard. This will result in a directional selection on bill size in the finch population, where large-billed birds will be selected over small and medium-billed birds.
Explanation:
La siguiente entrada tiene como objetivo realizar una breve explicación sobre las moléculas biológicas lipídos y carbohidratos, las cuales son muy diversas ya que están formadas por carbono, lo cual hace que puedan formar muchos tipos de enlaces. Esta capacidad permite que las moléculas orgánicas adopten muchas formas complejas, como son las cadenas, las ramificaciones y los anillos.
Las moléculas biológicas son grandes polímeros que sintetizas para poder enlazarse con otras subunidades mucho mas pequeñas conocidos como monómeros. Las cadenas de subunidades estan unidas por enlaces covalentes los cuales se forman por deshidratación, estas cadenas pueden romperse por hidrólisis. La moléculas biologicas más importantes son los carbohidratos, lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos.
Answer:
This person can be described as an environmentalist.
Explanation:
An environmentalist is a person who has adopted environmentalism as a philosophy that makes this person work and manages to direct their activities towards the preservation of the environment and sustainable development. These people seek to teach others to preserve the environment and seek to defend it through politics, economics and any other social factor that can help to achieve this goal.
The person presented in the question above is an environmentalist, because, as we can see, this person is available to give a lecture on environmental preservation, interacts with environmental activist groups and seeks political support to address issues on climate issues, sustainability and biodiversity .
Answer:
variation
Explanation:
Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA. The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment. Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes. Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.
Example: Peppered moth
In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark. The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten. The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten. Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat. By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%. This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.
