Charles Darwin studied finches on the Galapagos Islands. While the finches on all the islands came from the same ancestors, the

distance between the islands was too great to allow finches from different islands to interbreed. Over time, the size of the finches on the different islands remained the same, but the shape and size of their beaks changed, as shown here. This adaptation helped the finches find food on their particular island. The change in the size and shape of the finches’ beaks was MOST LIKELY caused by A) geographic isolation B) a change in climate. C) endangerment of the species. D) a decrease in the mutation rate.

How can a human cell in prophase of mitosis be distinguished from human cell in prophase l of meiosis?A. By the presence of kine
Len [333]

Answer:

E. By presence of paired homologous chromosomes in the meiotic cell.

Explanation:

Differences between Mitotic Prophase and Prophase 1 of Meiosis:

  • The prophase of mitosis is relatively shorter than prophase 1 of meiosis.
  • Prophase of mitosis is characterized by the disintegration of the nuclear membrane and the movement of the duplicated centrioles towards the two poles of the cell.
  • Prophase 1 of meiosis is relatively longer and involves a number of consecutive events that do not occur in the mitotic prophase.
  • Prophase 1 of meiosis involves the disintegration of the nuclear membrane as well. But the most important event of this phase is the pairing of homologous chromosomes through a connection called a synapse. This is called chiasmata formation. Homologous chromosomes pair up in form of tetrads and exchange segments with each other. This process is called crossing over and it is crucial in the production of genetically varied daughter cells.

Grassland songbirds often nest in the same grassland-wetland complexes as waterfowl, particularly in a certain part of those com
vovangra [49]

Answer:

(A) While not important in the diet of raccoons or striped skunks, ground squirrels are a significant source of food for other waterfowl-nest predators.

Explanation:

According to the passage, some predators of waterfowl nests prey opportunistically on songbird nests.  Therefore, some wildlife management procedures directed at waterfowl, such as habitat enhancement or restoration, may also benefit songbirds. However, some procedures such as   predator control may not always lead to benefits for the songbirds. For example, some predators of waterfowl nests such as raccoon and striped skunks are not predators of small mammals such as mice and ground squirrels who themselves are predators of songbird nests. So removing the striped skunk and raccoons from the habitat of the waterfowl and songbird nests, may not bring any benefit whatsoever to the songbirds. However, many other predators of waterfowl nests are also predators of squirrels and mice.
