Biogeochemical cycles are essential for life and important to the ecosystems because matter on earth is limited in amount, and space for dead organisms as well. Additionally, biogeochemical cycles are important as as they transport and store these chemical elements so that they can be used by living organisms.
Answer:Adaptation in Darwins Finches. Beak depth, which is correlated with body size and the ability to crack larger seeds, varies according to drought conditions: plants produce fewer, harder seeds in dry years and more, softer seeds in wet years. Only larger birds with deeper depths survive in drought years.
Explanation:
C.
Every change in a species is coded within the DNA. But the bird had lost a toe an accident. So the toe-loosing-option isn't true because not every bird looses his toe.
(Example: If a women gets bitten by a snake on the arm and gets the arm removed from her body and then in a year or so has a baby with her new husband. The baby won't be born with one arm because his/her mother lost her arm.) <span />
The irght answer is 8.
Each parent will give half of its chromosomes to its offspring through the gametes (which are haploid cells, containing n chromosomes) which will then fuse (male and female gametes) to form a diploid 2n chromosome cell and will eventually give rise to a new individual.
So each parent will give 8 of these chromosomes to their offspring.
