How can you use evolutionary theory to explain why these giraffes have long necks. Use Darwins three postulates (or the three ru

les of evolution by natural selection) to explain how we can use giraffe’s necks to understand how the species evolved to have long necks. (there are two males dueling with their necks in a video.)

Adaptive genes are selected and passed from generation to generation.

<h3>Natural selection and the evolution of long necks in giraffes</h3>

According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, natural selection selects for adaptive genes in organisms and deselects non-adaptive genes.

Thus, adaptive genes are passed from generation to generation.

In the case of the giraffes. It is plausible that their ancestors kept on stretching their necks in order to feed as the trees they fed on kept growing taller. The taller the tree grows, the longer the ancestors of giraffes stretched their necks to reach it. Otherwise, they just might have to die of starvation.

This adaptation activated the long-neck genes in the ancestors of giraffes. Natural selection selects this trait and it was passed down across generations.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Cells from the pure culture can cause disease in healthy individual after infecting it with the pure culture.

Explanation:

Koch postulates says that microbes are the cause of every disease. These microbes can be isolated from the infected host and can be grown outside the host in a pure culture. Then this pure culture is able to cause disease in a healthy host after infecting the host with pure culture. Then this same microbe can again be isolated from the second host.

So Koch postulates which proves that cells from the pure culture can cause disease in healthy individuals after infecting it with the pure culture was the step that enabled Koch to determine that a particular microbe is the cause of the disease because it was causing disease in healthy individual also.
