Preserved footprints left behind by animals are called ichnites.
You can infer that the birds once had a common ancestor but became separated. Mutations in copying their genes stacked and caused changes in the beaks so the birds could be more well off or better adapted in their new environment.
Answer:
Option (B) is the correct answer of the following question.
Explanation:
Collagens are a family of enzymes that perpetuate and protect many of the body's tissues, with the exception of connective tissue, femur, fibula, pigmentation, and the caucasian eye (optic disc). It would be the best choice on which to base the phylogeny.
- The first and most concentrated substance in the body is the collagen genes.
- It is a large, indigestible cellular muscle which maintains organisms and gives internal cells a texture.
- Collagen is also an essential part of the crisscrossing membrane neurons.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
The submarine will most likely find data that shows the highest pressure data and the lowest temperature data (unless of course it's near a hydrothermal vent). This is because due to the depth there's a lot more water above it putting a lot of pressure on the sub, and very little sunlight to heat up the water.
Answer:
variation
Explanation:
Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA. The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment. Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes. Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.
Example: Peppered moth
In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark. The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten. The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten. Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat. By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%. This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.
