Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
In elephant seals, the male arrive the beach first and start establishing its territory. Once their territory is established female elephant seals starts arriving at the beach and prefer mating with the male who can defend their territory or females in his territory from other males. All females in the territory of specific male mate with the male give birth to their pups and after staying for few months move back into the water.
hence, option C is correct
Answer:
In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment. The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down allow organisms to adapt to the environment better than other organisms of the same species
Answer:
Directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype of a genetic trait due to its survival and reproductive advantage to the individuals over another extreme phenotype and the intermediate phenotype.
In the given example, the thick-leaved plants are better adapted to a drier climate due to reduced water loss. Directional selection favored the plants with thick leaves which in turn produced more progeny. Over the generations, the population evolved into the one having more number of thick-leaved plants.
Bacteria are decomposers when they are turning the dead material in decaying organisms into nutrients. They become producers when they provide those nutrients for plants.
Answer;
-The conservation of "junk DNA" sequences in diverse genomes suggests that they have important functions.
Explanation;
-The term junk DNA refers to regions of DNA that are noncoding. DNA contains instructions (coding) that are used to create proteins in the cell. However, the amount of DNA contained inside each cell is vast and not all of the genetic sequences present within a DNA molecule actually code for a protein.
-Some of this noncoding DNA is used to produce non-coding RNA components such as transfer RNA, regulatory RNA and ribosomal RNA. However, other DNA regions are not transcribed into proteins, nor are they used to produce RNA molecules and their function is unknown.
