Perhaps our first association with the word "Galapagos" is the name "Darwin." Darwin's visit to the Galapagos Islands had a resounding impact on the formation of his Theory of Natural Selection.
A rather unmotivated and failing medical scholar, Charles Darwin accompanied Captain Robert Fitzroy as a travel companion and naturalist on the HMS Beagle. His book the Voyage of the Beagle is an account of his worldwide journey.
When setting off from England in 1831 for a five-year voyage, Darwin had little ambitions for groundbreaking scientific research. After surveying the coasts of South America, the ship stopped over in the Galapagos Islands.
During his visit to the islands, Darwin noted that the unique creatures were similar from island to island, but perfectly adapted to their environments which led him to ponder the origin of the islands' inhabitants.
Among those that struck Darwin so greatly were the finches that are now named in his honor. Darwin would later base some of his thought from the supposing that these finches were all descendents of the same lineage.
Years later in 1859, Darwin finally consolidated all of his observations into his famous book On The Origin of Species, drastically and controversially altering the scientific view on the biological origins of life. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!
Answer:
The environmental impact of a food is the effect that the entire production chain has. From the primary, continuing with the stages of transformation, distribution, use and final disposal. This can translate into: * Global warming
Answer:
10 chromosomes
Explanation:
If the plant has 20 chromosomes, its sperm (the pollen) will have 10.
Why?
Because when this sperm (pollen) fertilizes a plant egg (?) they must end up with a total of 20 chromosomes for the plant baby.
When substrate enter the active site of enzyme....the reaction starts and the substrate changes into product and detach from enzyme and so the enzyme is free for next substrate.
Answer:
The reason for qualifying 'in vacuum' is because EM waves of different frequencies often propagate at different speeds through material.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves include visible light, radio waves, X-rays, and so on. What distinguishes these different bands of light is their frequency (or wavelength). But what they all have in common is that they travel at the same speed in vacuum.
The reason for qualifying 'in vacuum' is because EM waves of different frequencies often propagate at different speeds through material.
The speed of a wave c, its wavelength λ and frequency f are all related according to c=λf. So if c is the same for all EM waves, then if you (say) double the frequency of a wave, its wavelength will halve.
