On the galapagos one of the members of the founder species of finches was born with a larger beak than the others. this advantageous trait spread through the population enough to lead to a whole new species. what would most likely have happened to the first finch with the big beak if it had been born on the continent of south america? a. it would have been outcompeted by other organisms in the area. b. it would have outcompeted the other finches in the area. c. it would have produced offspring with small beaks. d. it would not have had any finches with which to mate.

The correct answer is option D. "It would not have had any finches with which to mate".

Explanation:

One of the characteristics of a species is that it can breed to another member of the same species and produce fertile offspring. If the first finch with the big beak had been born on the continent of South America, it would not have had any finches with which to mate. There are no finches with big beaks on the continent of South America or other members of the same species, therefore, the finch would not be able to prosper in that location.

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air

explanation:

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
