Indicate which pattern of evolution is shown by the many species of finches on the Galápagos Islands.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Answer;
Adaptive radiation;
The pattern of evolution that is shown by many species of finches on the Galapagos Islands is Adaptive radiation. 

Explanation; 
Adaptive radiation is a pattern of evolution in which a single lineage undergoes multiple speciation events to fill divergent ecological niches. The result is a cluster of phenotypically distinct related species.
A few million years ago, one species of finch migrated to the rocky Galapagos from mainland of Central or south America. From this one migrant species would come many species;-at least 13 species of finch, which exploit different niches, evolving from a single ancestor. 
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

Adaptive Radiation

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation refers to the process of diversification of ancestral line into different forms that occupy diverse ecological niche. The ancestral seed eating stock of Darwin’s finches diversified according to different types of food (plants, seeds, insects, cactus etc) available. They developed type of beak adapted to that food. The geographical isolation led reproductive isolation. Hence, many species of finches on the Galápagos Islands exhibit "adaptive radiation".

A scientist is studying a gene implicated in cancer in mice. She samples 14,000 mice and her p-value is 5%. What should her conclusion be?

Answers

The given values are 14,000 sample size and 5% p-value. Statistical significant results are achieved when p-value is less than the significance level. This shows a 95% confidence of results in the samples. The rejection region is composed of 5% of the sample distribution.

Answer:

In conclusion the scientist should state that the data suggests that the gene causes cancer in mice.

Explanation:

A p-value is a measure of significance, it is the probability of the findings giving a false-positive of the hypothesis. A p-value less than or equal to 0.005 (5%) is considered significant. In conclusion the scientist should state that the data suggests that the gene causes cancer in mice.
