There are now at least 13 species of finches on the Galapagos Islands, each filling a different niche on different islands. All of them evolved from one ancestral species, which colonized the islands only a few million years ago. This process, whereby species evolve rapidly to exploit empty ecospace, is known as adaptive radiation...The ecological niches exert the selection pressures that push the populations in various directions. On various islands, finch species have become adapted for different diets: seeds, insects, flowers, the blood of seabirds, and leaves. The ancestral finch was a ground-dwelling, seed-eating finch. After the burst of speciation in the Galapagos, a total of 14 species would exist: three species of ground-dwelling seed-eaters; three others living on cactuses and eating seeds; one living in trees and eating seeds; and 7 species of tree-dwelling insect-eaters." pbs (<--- easiest way to cite a source, control-V, cut and paste the link) 1. Explain, in your own words, how a single finch species evolved into different Galapagos finch species. Make sure to use as many terms from Chapter 7 as you can and as always, cite your sources. You do not need to go through all fourteen. You can use just one species and walk us through the process. Make sure to discuss beak shape and diets, adaptations, different environments, and island adaptive radiation. There are many resources on this topic. Take some time to research this topic using multiple sources and then write your impression. Do not just read one article and give me definitions. I hope you are all healthy and happy!

Choose one animal (cheetas) and research on the internet what has contributed to this animal becoming "endangered" or "threatened." what animal you have chosen? how long has the animal been endangered or threatened? what has contributed to this animal’s endangered or threatened status? why is it important to save this animal from extinction? after researching and gathering facts, write a 350-word letter from the point of view of an animal rights' activist. be sure to include at least five facts that you learned from your research.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
