Answer:

<u><em>Galapagos finches</em></u><u> have various beak sizes that make foraging for food more successful.</u>

Explanation:

Organisms evolve over time due to changes in their genome. These are pontaneous, and occur in DNA at random. These changes are called mutations and form alleles or different forms of a gene.

Over time within a population, the number alleles increase the variation of the population. These variants may confer specific traits within an individual, that may confer a biological advantage.

Thus, the trait may make the organisms more capable of obtaining food, shelter a mate etc. or ensure survival, i.e. they are able to pass on their genes to the next generation.

What are our lungs made out of?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopies

mixer [17]

Answer:

(08) and (32)

Explanation:

To make osmosis happen there has to be a difference in the concentration of solutes, between the inside and the outside of the cell. To valance this difference in concentration, water has to flow towards a place that has a higher number of solutes.

The lipids in the cell's wall make this membrane semipermeable. This allows the passage of specific components only, such as water through aquaporins. Lipids and other elements are of importance in the barrier because they maintain the cell separated from the outside, allowing it to be balanced as regards the different substances that can interact with it.

In the early 1900s a scientist hypothesized a link between DNA and the production of proteins in the cytoplasm. However, the fac
Vladimir [108]
Let us go over the definitions and the functions of each term:
a) Gene is a bit vague but in general it means a part of DNA that encodes one protein. Genes are the building blocks of our genomes but not the answer to this question.
b)mRNA. This is correct. The name itself means messengerRNA and its role is to copy the genetic information in the nucleus and bring it outside to be translated into protein.
c) ATP is an important molecule in our metabolism; energy is stored in this molecule and then used. It has no relationship to the mechanisms concerning DNA.
d) Thymine is one of the 4 nucleotide bases that are found in DNA, the other three being guanine, cytosine and adenine. They are essential components of a nucleotide (building blocks of DNA and RNA) but again, they do not transfer information out of the nucleus.

Which of the following is NOT a solution to protect the water in the two wells in danger of becoming contaminated?
Anton [14]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Building a well between the two wells that goes deeper into the earth would not stop the water from being polluted .

Explanation:

Even if a well was constructed between the wells B and C, it wouldn't have stopped the contamination of the water. As the oil would still be leaking and it would contaminate the wells.

All of the other options can be used to stop the contamination.

Option A suggests building an impermeable membrane that would stop the oil flow. Hence, the water in the wells will not be contaminated.

Option B suggests not using the water from the wells and using an alternate water supply. The alternate water supply wouldn't be contaminated with oil.

Option D suggests chemically purifying the contaminated water. This can be an effective technique to clean the contaminated water.
