Answer:
Two adaptations of Darwin's Finches that helped them to survive are:
- Behavioral adaptations to use tools for foraging.
Explanation:
There are fourteen species of Darwin's finches that originated from a single species of ground dwelling seed eating finch.
These Finches occupied different niche in the Galapagos island and were widely studied by Darwin.
These finches are one of the best Examples of Adaptive radiation.
Studies state that during severe drought in Galapagos island most vegetation dried out and a few softer seeds were left.
These few seeds were quickly fed upon by the birds and only dry , hard seeds were left.
Only birds who had large and hard beaks could feed on these hard dry seeds.
To Ensure survival the Finches developed adaptations which resulted in hard and large beaks so that they can feed on those dried hard seed.
Some groups started feeding on insects and got their beaks adapted to capture and kill insects.
Second line of adaptation included changes in behaviour and cognitive intelligence where birds started using tools for foraging.
Answer:
Due to reduced rate of egg production and several disorders caused by hormonal imbalances
Explanation:
Women lose their fertility at the age of 45 while men are able to produce sperm throughout their life. The reasons however for this are not very clear but it has been found that the rate of production of egg decreases with the advancement of age of females. Also the quality of egg degrades thereby reducing the likelihood of an egg being genetically normal. A woman along with faces several disorders due to the hormonal imbalances and one of these disorders is PCOS, ovarian insufficiency etc., which lead to distorted pattern of menstrual cycle.
Answer:
An experimental group, also known as a treatment group, receives the treatment whose effect researchers wish to study, whereas a control group does not. They should be identical in all other ways.
The virus life cycle could be divided into six steps: attachment, penetration, uncoating, gene expression and replication, assembly, and release.
Answer:
Life cycle of a moss
Explanation:
LIFE CYCLE OF A MOSS FROM MATURED SPOROPHYTE STAGE
An embryo further develops into a pear-shaped sporangium, which is the *sporophyte stage of the plant*. The sporangium contains spore sacs, each of which is the spore mother cell that undergoes meiotic division to form four spores,The spores are released and germination
takes place giving rise to a protonema, which develops into a new gametophyte plant. The gametophyte generation or haploid phase of the moss is from the production of haploid spores after meiosis to the period just before fusion of the haploid antherizoid or haploid ovum. The sporophyte generation or diploid phase is from the diploid mother cells just before meiosis.
Examples of moss plants include Funaria hygrometrica, Polytrichum commune, Barbuda Indica.
