Answer:

8 possible combinations

Explanation:

In a diploid organism (2n), there are two sets of chromosomes in each cell. Each set of chromosome is contributed by each parent i.e one set of chromosome from the father and one set from the mother.

To determine the number of possible combinations in each gamete of a cell, we use the formula 2^n, where n = number of chromosomes in haploid gametes. In this case, the cell contains 3 pairs of chromosomes, meaning that each gamete will have 3 chromosomes. However, there will be 2³ = 8 possible combinations of chromosomes in each gametes.

While there is only one species of Galapagos Island tortoise, there are several subspecies. Larger islands with more wet highlan
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Tortoises with better adaptations in shell shape and leg length were selected to exploit the food resources on each island and, thus, they were capable of having more offspring.

Explanation:

Natural selection can be defined as the process of differential survival and reproduction in a given environment due to differences in their phenotypic traits. Thus, these phenotypic traits are selected to be better adapted to their environment. As a consequence of natural selection, organisms evolve by changing their phenotype frequencies over many generations. In this case, phenotypic differences are expressed as variations in shell shape and leg length, which are adaptive traits that were selected on each island.
