Darwin’s Finches: Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources. This illustration shows the beak shapes for four species of ground finch: 1. Geospiza magnirostris (the large ground finch), 2. G. fortis (the medium ground finch), 3. G. parvula (the small tree finch), and 4. Certhidea olivacea (the green-warbler finch) the Grants measured beak sizes in the much-reduced population, they found that the average bill size was larger. This was clear evidence for natural selection of bill size caused by the availability of seeds. The Grants had studied the inheritance of bill sizes and knew that the surviving large-billed birds would tend to produce offspring with larger bills, so the selection would lead to evolution of bill size. Subsequent studies by the Grants have demonstrated selection on and evolution of bill size in this species in response to other changing conditions on the island. The evolution has occurred both to larger bills, as in this case, and to smaller bills when large seeds became rare.

Which source creates the most direct pollution?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Water pollution is one of  the most common type of pollution that leads to the deterioration of the water quality mainly due to the man-made interference. Direct and indirect pollution are two of its types. Direct pollution as the term suggests refers to the direct flow of pollutants in the water in contrast to the indirect pollution that  accounts for the transport of pollutants eventually to the water body.

Explanation:

Direct pollution is characterized by the release of toxic fluid directly in the water body. The main source of this type of pollution are the toxic pollutants from the large factories. Some of the other sources includes solid waste from the household activities and waste from agricultural practice like fertilizers, and the waste generated by the waste water treatment plant.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Be using a flow rate that moves 30% to 70% more volume through the cage or chamber each minute precautions need to be taken.

Inhale- To breathe in is to inhale. In contrast to "exhale," which is to breathe out, it is the reverse. Through our lips and nostrils, we take air into our lungs when we inhale, and breathe out again.

Lungs- The two spongy, pinkish-gray organs in our chest are our lungs. Air enters our lungs during inhalation, and oxygen from that air travels to our blood during breathing. Additionally, a waste gas called carbon dioxide travels from the blood to the lungs where it is expelled.
