<h2>Galapagos Finch </h2>
Explanation:
Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation
- Darwin's finches common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago,during the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behavior
- Changes in size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such us insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers all driven by Darwinian selection
- From 1831 to 1836, Darwin was part of a survey expedition carried out by the ship HMS Beagle, which included stops in South America, Australia, and the southern tip of Africa
- At each of the stop, Darwin had the opportunity to study the local plants and animals
- Darwin found that nearby islands in the Galapagos had similar but nonidentical species of finches living on them,he noted that each finch species was well-suited for its environment and role
- For example species that ate large seeds tended to have large, tough beaks, while those that ate insects had thin, sharp beaks
- According to Darwin's idea, this pattern would make sense if the Galapagos Islands had long ago been populated by birds from the neighboring mainland
- On each island, the finches might have gradually adapted to local conditions (over many generations and long periods of time)
- This process could have led to the formation of one or more distinct species on each island
- Darwin developed and refined a set of ideas that could explain the patterns he had observed during his voyage
- In his book, On the Origin of Species, Darwin outlined his two key ideas: evolution and natural selection
- Natural selection which also known as “survival of the fittest,” is the more prolific reproduction of individuals with favorable traits that survive environmental change because of those traits; this leads to evolutionary change
Answer:
Option C.
Scientist explain the incomplete fossil record because not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.
Explanation:
- Fossils are the remains of organisms that are found on the rocks after they die.
- So, no one can be 100% sure about the complete fossil record because of the continuous process like erosion and other natural calamities.
- The sediment must cover any organism's remains to start the fossilization process to start. Most of the organisms start decomposing before this process can be executed.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves travel slowest in dense matter such as solids. On the other hand, mechanical waves travel quickly through solids. For example, sound travels fastest through solids. This difference is because EM waves do not rely on the movement of particles to travel. Since they require no medium they can travel the fastest in space or other vacuums.
