1. What did Darwin’s research on the Galapagos Islands show?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Darwin's research on Galapagos Island put forward his theory of natural selection.

Explanation:

1. Charles Darwin studied the similarities of the finches between the various islands of Galapagos. His study noted that the finches were similar from island to island making him to wonder about the origin of this species as these perfectly adapted to their environment. His compilation of observation about the finches, the fastest evolving vertebrates, described its behavior and appearances which changed according to the changing environment., thus making them to adapt quickly. These were further converted for his book 'The Origin of Species' that changed the concept of evolution.

2. Grants research on Galapagos Islands were conducted by Peter Raymond Grant and Barbara Rosemary Grant, both evolutionary biologists. Their work focussed on the Darwin's finches through processing of collecting blood samples and tagging them. They were able to indicate that changes within the species is evident within a single lifetime. Their study indicted that changes in populations takes place quickly and need not wait for long time as indicated in Darwin's theory.

3. The Galapagos Island is a ground to more species that have risen due to adaptation. Due to its remote location, it was possible for the scientists to conduct study about natural selection on biodiversity. THere are 18 species that have evolved from Darwin's finches.  The diversification observed in the finches were the shape and size of beaks.

The Darwin's finches developed over time with strong crushing and probing  beaks adapted to catch insects or crack nuts. Even some have sharp long beaks to drink blood.

Another species observed is the marine Iguana with adapted short blunt stout, and long tail to swim deep into sea.

The flightless cormorant found in this island, were adapted to survive as there was no necessity to fly. Instead their dense bodies, small feet, and powerful legs makes them to be good divers to hunt fish, eels, and small octopus.

What are two positive impacts of using wind turbines to generate electrical energy?
inessss [21]

Answer:

It's a clean fuel source & Wind is an unlimited, free, renewable resource.

Explanation:

Wind energy doesn't pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Wind turbines don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or greenhouse gasses. Wind energy is a domestic source of energy.

In 2002, Peter and B. Rosemary Grant studied a population of Darwin's finches on one of the Galapagos Islands that feed on seeds
Oliga [24]

Answer:

c) microevolution

Explanation:

Microevolution is the change in allelic frequencies within a population over time.

If natural selection favored birds with beaks and small bodies, that means that the frequency of that phenotype (beak and small body) increased while the frequency of birds with body and large beaks decreased.

In this example we see that in the Darwin's finches population, the allelic frequencies - reflected in the  phenotype - changed over time as a consequence of the drought.

Describe the path of a nitrogen atom through four parts of the nitrogen cycle. Be sure to explain the processes involved in the
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: One of the ways the path of a nitrogen atom begins is as a part of an ammonium ion. A plant takes up the ion and uses it to make an organic molecule through assimilation. The organic molecule falls back to the ground as part of a leaf. The leaf is decomposed by bacteria, and it is converted back to ammonium by ammonification. The ammonium ion is then converted to nitrite by nitrifying bacteria through nitrification.

Explanation: That's what popped up after I hit submit so that's the answer hope this hepls.
