Answer:

Ice cores are cylinders of ice drilled from ice sheets/glaciers. ice cores tell scientists about temperature, volcanic activity, atmospheric composition, precipitation, and wind patterns.

Explanation:

the thickness of each layer in the core allow scientists to determine how much snow fell in the area during a particular year. the layers are formed by layers of different types of snow. During the summer, when it is light for 24 hours, the snow on the top layer changes texture. When winter arrives, it turns dark and cold again and more snow falls on top of the summer snow, creating distinct layers.

Hope this helps!

How does mitosis provide for genetic consistency in an organism and why is this important?
castortr0y [4]
 <span>Mitosis is Asexual reproduction. It promotes genetic consistency because all offspring are exactly identical to the parent, unlike meiosis where homologous chromosomes are randomly dispersed between four daughter cells. organisms that only reproduce asexually are at a disadvantage because all organisms in their population are identical so if there were to be a major environmental change, they would have less of a chance of survival compared to a population of sexually reproducing organisms that are all genetically different.</span>

ycow [4]

The C option is Correct.

  • All the Galapagos finches exist on the same island.

Galapagos finches is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution.

Darwin's finches comprise a group of 15 species endemic to the Galápagos (14 species) and Cocos (1 species) Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The group is monophyletic and originated from an ancestral species that reached the Galápagos Archipelago from Central or South America.

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.
