Why groups of animals are found on some islands but not others?

Biology
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]2 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.

In the above diagram of a plant cell, what is the function of structure 3?
kramer

Explanation:

B.  serves as the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic information

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wounucleuscarbohynd around histones as chromosomes. Chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand. These are then translated into proteins in ribosomes.

Further Explanation:

A cell's structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do) . For instance, photosynthesizing cells in algae and plants have structures called chloroplasts. These contain chlorophyll, a specialized compound which facilitates the conversion of light energy to energy stored in carbohydrates. In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. These are advantageous, as they:

  • may increase metabolic reaction efficiency; they allow cells to concentrates smaller fractions of enzymes and solutes
  • separate proteins and molecules that me harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteaseas bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins

Anatomical features that are fully developed and functional in one group of organisms but reduced and functionless in a similar
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Answer is option A.

Vestigial features are fully developed and functional in one group of organisms but reduced and function less in a similar group.

Explanation:

  • Vestigial structures are anatomical features such as cells, tissues or organs in an organism that are previously functional and performed some important functions in the organism but no longer serve any functions in the current form of the organism and become useless as a result of a large evolutionary change. Examples include the coccyx or the tailbone in humans, the pelvic bone of a snake, wisdom teeth in humans, nipples in human males, the wings of flightless birds such as kiwi, ostrich, etc.
  • Homologous features are the features that are similar in different organisms having similar embryonic origin and development and are inherited from a common ancestor that also had that feature. Also, they might have different functions. An example is the presence of four limbs in tetrapods such as crocodiles, birds, etc.
  • Analogous features are the features that are superficially similar in different organisms but had separate evolutionary origins i.e., different in origin, but similar in function. An example includes the wings on a fly, a moth, and a bird where the wings were developed independently as adaptations to perform the common function of flying.
  • Polygenic features are the traits or features that are controlled by multiple genes that are located on the same or different chromosomes and are also affected by the environment. These features do not follow Mendel’s pattern of inheritance and are represented as a range of continuous variation. Examples of polygenic traits or features include skin color, height, hair color, eye color, etc. For example, there is wide variation in the human skin color (from light to dark) and height (short or tall or somewhere in between).
  • Sympatry describes a species or a population that inhabit the same geographic region at the same time. In sympatric speciation, new species are evolved from a surviving ancestral species while both the species inhabit the same place at the same time i.e., in a single population, reproductive isolation occurs without geographic isolation.

Cerrena [4.2K]
Hello!

The two statements that disprove the theory of spontaneous generation are that A) All living things are made of cells and that D) Living cells can only come from previously existing cells.

The scientist that disproved the spontaneous generation theory was Louis Pasteur, who boiled a culture broth free of microorganisms and let it stand for a long period of time. No organisms grew from the flask, but when Pasteur opened it to the environment the flask soon became full of bacteria. That proved that there were microorganisms that were responsible for the growing of living things and disproved the theory of Spontaneous generation.

notka56 [123]

Answer: Eye drops are effective when it placed into the eyes with care and proper instructions.

Eye drops should be placed in the lower conjunctival sac that starts at the inner side of the eye not the outer side called as canthus.

If the eye drops are dropeed on the cornea of the eyes and this causes discomfort and hence should be avoided.

It should not be placed on the opening of the lacrimal ducts otherwise it will avoid the systemic absorption.
