Darwin’s Finches: Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources. This illustration shows the beak shapes for four species of ground finch: 1. Geospiza magnirostris (the large ground finch), 2. G. fortis (the medium ground finch), 3. G. parvula (the small tree finch), and 4. Certhidea olivacea (the green-warbler finch) the Grants measured beak sizes in the much-reduced population, they found that the average bill size was larger. This was clear evidence for natural selection of bill size caused by the availability of seeds. The Grants had studied the inheritance of bill sizes and knew that the surviving large-billed birds would tend to produce offspring with larger bills, so the selection would lead to evolution of bill size. Subsequent studies by the Grants have demonstrated selection on and evolution of bill size in this species in response to other changing conditions on the island. The evolution has occurred both to larger bills, as in this case, and to smaller bills when large seeds became rare.
For question 1:
Look at the graph. In the beginning we start out with a feed of 75% wheat and 25% corn. The weight of the pig is 40. Look at the rest of the graph. Each time they lessen the amount of wheat the pigs eat and add more corn, they get heavier. By the end, the pigs are fed a blend of 25% wheat and 75% corn and they weigh 61 pounds. The answer would be C.
Brainstorm, draft, reread, revise, edit, final draft.
Conclusions should have a hook, bridge, and call to action and/or summary.
The part of their eye , located behind the retina ,called the Tapetum lucidum. It is reflective and helps the cat with night vision based on how light passes through it
The answer is C) 9:3:3:1
This looks like a dihybrid cross where the expected phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1. However, in nature, the numbers cannot be absolut. Let's check it out:
242 purple wrinkled
84 purple smooth
70 yellow wrinkled
24 yellow smooth
Divide all by the smallest number:
242 purple wrinkled / 24
84 purple smooth / 24
70 yellow wrinkled / 24
24 yellow smooth / 24
We have
10.1 purple wrinkled which is near to 9
3.5 purple smooth which is near to 3
2.9 yellow wrinkled which is near to 3
1 yellow smooth
