Answer: It shows the distribution of the population with respect to a characteristic, quantitative and continuous, such as the weight or height of a population. It is used to determine the degree of homogeneity of the values studied, or to see the degree of variability, and therefore, the dispersion of all the values taken by the parts.

Explanation:

A histogram is a graphical representation of a variable using bars. In such a bar, <u>its area is proportional to the frequency of the values represented</u>. Thus, it shows the distribution of the population, or of the sample, with respect to a characteristic, quantitative and continuous, such as the weight or height of a population. It is used to determine the degree of homogeneity of the values studied, or to see the degree of variability, and therefore, the dispersion of all the values taken by the parts.

In order to construct a histogram first we need to have a frequency table with all the information. On the abscissa axis (horizontal axis) the intervals are placed from smallest to largest. On the ordinate axis (vertical axis), the absolute frequencies of each of the intervals are represented. Then, the rectangular bars of equal width are drawn, and the height represents the absolute frequency. All bars touch the bars next to each other, unless an interval has zero frequency (the height of the bar will also be zero).

<u>Thus, histograms are used to describe populations since they represent a variable and in what proportion of the population it is found.</u>

A Chlorella cell viewed through a microscope is 0.00005 m wide when the magnification is 2000.

juin [17]

Answer:

0.0025micrometer.

Explanation:

To calculate the actual size of the image, the formula to be used is

Actual size=Image size÷magnification.

The image size is 0.00005 wide

Magnification is 2000

First, convert the image size to micrometer.

=0.00005 × 1000000

50micrometers.

Actual size= 50÷2000

Actual size = 0.0025

<h2>Galapagos Finch </h2>

Explanation:

Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation

Darwin's finches common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago,during the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behavior
Changes in size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such us insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers all driven by Darwinian selection
From 1831 to 1836, Darwin was part of a survey expedition carried out by the ship HMS Beagle, which included stops in South America, Australia, and the southern tip of Africa
At each of the stop, Darwin had the opportunity to study the local plants and animals
Darwin found that nearby islands in the Galapagos had similar but nonidentical species of finches living on them,he noted that each finch species was well-suited for its environment and role
For example species that ate large seeds tended to have large, tough beaks, while those that ate insects had thin, sharp beaks
According to Darwin's idea, this pattern would make sense if the Galapagos Islands had long ago been populated by birds from the neighboring mainland
On each island, the finches might have gradually adapted to local conditions (over many generations and long periods of time)
This process could have led to the formation of one or more distinct species on each island
Darwin developed and refined a set of ideas that could explain the patterns he had observed during his voyage
In his book, On the Origin of Species, Darwin outlined his two key ideas: evolution and natural selection
Natural selection which also known as “survival of the fittest,” is the more prolific reproduction of individuals with favorable traits that survive environmental change because of those traits; this leads to evolutionary change
