Hi!

The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.

In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.

Hope this helps!

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Explanation: A fish can live in water and get carbon in the air bubbles but it's not enough carbon to thrive off of so the fish may need to eat other fish or plankton in the water. The second example A wolf would get its carbon from both the air and water but would still need extra carbons so that is why it would hunt a deer to consume its carbons. Also, the deer would get its carbons from the air, water, and grass. the grass would get its carbons from water and air. NOW DO YOU GET IT EVERYTHING IS CARBONS AND LIVES OFF OF THEM AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY!

That's because they are in the same climate zone. The earth's climate zones change going from the north pole to the equator, and then from the equator to Antarctica, like a mirror image. The two are found in the same zones on the opposite hemispheres.

What is the texture and consistency of the dna? 2. why did we use a salt in the extraction solution? 3. is the dna soluble in th

lions [1.4K]

Explanation:

These questions are related to the extraction of DNA using detergents and ethanol.

1. Consistency and texture- the extracted DNA is white, spongy and moist or slime in nature.

2. Salt is used during the extraction process as the DNA is negatively charged molecule and to neutralize the negative charge which will allow the formation of precipitate.

3. The DNA is soluble in aqueous solution as the DNA is a negatively charged molecule therefore the negative charge makes it a polar molecule and it can form the interactions in the aqueous solution.

4. RNA could be present in the aqueous solution along with the DNA as both are the nucleic acid.

5. The base-pairing rule was suggested by the Chargaff who proposed that Adenine binds thymine and guanine binds cytosine.

5. The binding of adenine to thymine involves two hydrogen bonds and between guanine to cytosine involves three hydrogen bonds.

When the cells of most organisms freeze, they burst. whitch property of water cause this to occur?

xz_007 [3.2K]

<span>Cells of most organisms freeze due to the fact that. Water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid. To elaborate when you quickly freeze and organism the internal portion of that organism is freezing at a much slower rate. SO the outside portion becomes rigid eventually breaking is you freeze it at a slower rate less cells will be damaged.</span>
