Biologists have found more than 500 species of fruit flies on the various Hawaiian islands, all apparently descended from a sing

le ancestor species. When this ancestor colonized the island chain, it found few competitors: Many insect and fly families present in other regions are absent from the isolated Hawaiian Islands. This example illustrates _____.

Answer:

Adaptive radiation

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when an ancestral species move to a new environment that has various resources that are necessary for survival and also has environmental conditions that would ensure its offspring adapt well over time. In this new environment, the ancestral species would produce offspring with different traits and behaviors that will allow them to survive in this new environment while occupying their various niches. Over a relatively short time, different species arising from the common ancestor would occupy the new environment.

Compare and contrast optical and radio telescope
Umnica [9.8K]

Hallo~~~

When comparing optical and radio telescopes, we know that both of these telescopes detect a certain band of the electromagnetic spectrum.

When contrasting optical and radio telescopes, we know that optical telescopes have higher equipment (polished mirrors, accuracy), and that they depend on weather. Radio telescopes have lower equipment (less precise reflectors), and depend on diff. things such as thermal radiation and man-made emissions.

What is the correct order for the hierarchy of biological organization from the least to the most complex? (concept 1.1)?
hjlf

Answer;

Molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem.

Explanation;

-The biological levels of organization of living things arranged from the simplest to most complex are: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

-Organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures that consist of one or more cells. Even very simple, single-celled organisms are remarkably complex: inside each cell, atoms make up molecules; these in turn make up cell organelles and other cellular inclusions.

-In multicellular organisms, similar cells form tissues. Tissues, in turn, collaborate to create organs (body structures with a distinct function). Organs work together to form organ systems.

Evgesh-ka [11]
<span>The question is asking us to fill in the gaps in the following sentence: When a person loses consciousness due to a head injury from a car crash, the (gap) keeps the body functioning by regulating the flow of information between the brain and the rest of the body. The best answer is that the gap should be filled by "autonomous nervous system" - this system is the one that is not controlled consciously, but one that is working in the background to make sure our body functions work properly.</span>
