Darwin's finches are often used to illustrate evolution. Evaluate the finch beaks shown in the picture. Choose ALL of the statem

ents that correctly explain the evolution of finch beaks.
A) As the environment changed, the finches grew longer beaks to allow them to get food out of fruits.

B) Finches with longer beaks settled on the same island with smaller beaked birds. Over time, they bred, producing medium beaked birds that became more common in the population.

C) There are finches with different types of beaks in the population. During a drought, those with shorter beaks are not able to find sufficient food and die, leaving them unable to reproduce and pass the trait on to offspring.

D) A random mutation introduced the shorter, thicker beak into the population. However, those with thinner, longer beaks were better able to get nectar from the island's flowers. Those birds with the shorter, thicker beaks were unable to get enough food to survive.

E) A disease swept through the island killing many of the insects that were common on the island, leaving the birds who ate insects from the ground starving. The finches that had thicker beaks and could get food from tree bark were able to continue to survive and reproduce, increasing this trait in the population.

Why are vestigial structures considered critical evidence of evolution?
Norma-Jean [14]
Vestigial structures are considered evidence since scientists believe they are structures that were once used by a species ancestors but are no longer needed. They do not impair the organisms in any way, so there is no need for evolution to get rid of them. Vestigial structures are anatomical features that no longer seems to have a function or purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species. Examples are wisdom teeth, the muscles of the ear, the appendix, the tail bone among others in human.

Carbon never quits. It recycles itself constantly, conserving its mass and energy as it travels from one location to another.
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The answer is True.

Earth stores carbon naturally as part of the carbon cycle. When the system is not in equilibrium, it corrects itself. The Earth has been emitting and storing carbon for millions of years, cycling it between sky, sea, soil, and rock. And the law of conservation of matter states that no matter is destroyed, nor created, likewise with energy.

In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called running mice (R). The recessive trait
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Parental genotypes: RrBb, RRBB

Offspring phenotype: Running and black hair

Explanation:

Given, Running (R) is dominant over waltzing (r)

Black hair (B) is dominant over brown hair (b)

Parent 1: Heterozygous running, heterozygous black = RrBb

Parent 2: Homozygous running, homozygous black = RRBB

When they mate ( RrBb X RRBB ) :

Gametes produced by RrBb = RB, Rb, rB, rb

Gametes produced by RRBB = RB

Offspring:

        RB          Rb         rB        rb

RB   RRBB    RRBb    RrBB    RrBb

All offspring mice will be running mice and will have black hair because all the four types of genotype at least have one dominant allele for both the genes.
