Ecologists have studied the Galapagos islands for a long time because of the diversity of the populations they possess. It is thought that small colonies of finches emerged on each of these small islands, each small population carrying only certain alleles of the parent population. Over time, the emerging populations varied greatly from one another, leading to the development of new species. Which mechanism of speciation best describes this scenario?

Which of the following is true of photosynthesis? a)carbon dioxide is a reactant b)water is a product c)most reactions within this process are exothermic d)oxygen is a reactant

Molecular models of two different substances are shown below. in the molecule on the left, the oxygen atom pulls on electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms. in the molecule on the right, the two oxygen atoms pull on the shared electrons with the same strength. water molecule, h, o oxygen molecule, oz when the two substances are put in the same container, they do not attract each other. why does this happen? a. they both contain oxygen. b. one is polar and one is nonpolar. c . they are both polar. d. they contain different elements.

Based on the law of dominance, we would expect percent of the offspring from this cross to have large teeth.
