Hey there!

1.The metric system is a decimal system of measurement whose units are based on certain physical standards and are scaled on multiples of 10.Metric units of length are easy to use because they are based on multiples of 10.

2.You can immerse the solid in water and measure the volume of the water displaced. The solid cannot dissolve in water.

3.A degree on the Fahrenheit scale must be smaller because there are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling as compared to 100 degrees for the same range on the Celsius scale.

Hope this helped @ShaggySnaps

Three factors that may have caused thirteen different species of finches to develop on the galapagos island

Oduvanchick [21]

From this one migrant species would come many -- at least 13 species of finch evolving from the single ancestor.
This process in which one species gives rise to multiple species that exploit different niches is called 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.
Scientists long after Darwin spent years trying to understand the process that had created so many types of finches that differed mainly in the size and shape of their beaks.

Which of the following is true of retroviruses? (3 points)

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is duplicated in a host cell using the reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host’s genome by an integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host cell’s DNA. Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that belong to the viral family Retroviridae. A special variant of retroviruses are endogenous retroviruses, which are integrated into the genome of the host and inherited across generations. Endogenous retroviruses are a type of transposon.
