After the drought of 1977, researchers on the island of daphne major hypothesized that medium ground finches that had large, deep beaks, survived better than those with smaller beaks because they could more easily crack and eat the tough tribulus cistoides fruits. if this hypothesis is correct, what would you expect to observe if a population of these medium ground finches colonizes a nearby island where tribulus cistoides is the most abundant food for the next 1000 years? assume that (1) even the survivors of the 1977 drought sometimes had difficulty cracking the tough t. cistoides fruits and would eat other seeds when offered a choice; and (2) food availability is the primary limit on finch fitness on this new island. a) evolution of yet larger, deeper beaks over timeb) evolution of smaller, pointier beaks over timec) random fluctuations in beak size and shaped) no change in beak size and shape

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
