Biology

Svetllana [295]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Wilson has created the theory of the biogeographic nature of the island, which predicts that the number of species on the island depends on the balance between colonization, the evolution of the novel island species, and extinction.

Explanation:

A new DNA sequence containing 596 species of terrestrial birds from 41 island chains (archipelagos) around the world has been assembled by the researchers. The data combined sample data from their own field visits, research, and field samples from GeneBank colleagues. This information was utilized to build and employ a dynamic model that predicted international relationships that regulate biodiversity variation in their novel analysis approaches. In that, they confirmed two main components of MacArthur and Wilson's initial biogeography theory on the island.

The understanding of biodiversity on the island is important to conservation but also has implications beyond that – when imposing barriers to species dispersal it could enable us to assess better the effects of human activities, and it can contribute to a wider understanding of biodiversity around the globe.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

C. All projection maps are subject to varying types of distortion.

Explanation:

The only truly accurate representation of Earth is the globe, as earth is a sphere. When one tries to map out a 3-d sphere on a piece of paper, it is impossible without some kind of distortion occurring. This distortion happens with distance, size, and sometimes other factors. Different projections are used for different purposes because some are more accurate than others in terms of distance, size, relative position, etc.

Identify the organelle with the following structure or function from the list below:
Mila [183]
The organelle you're looking for should be cholorplasts.

Chloroplasts are double membrane bound organelles, which is important for the process so photosynthesis. The outer membrane is smooth and gives the shape of the chloroplast, while the inner membrane forms sac that contains chlorophyll inside.

Chloroplasts exists in green plants that photosynthesize for energy, and they appear the most in mesohpyll cells, a type of cells in leaf.
