Answer: d. The giraffes with the longest necks survive and produce offspring.

Natural selection can be defined as a differential survival and reproduction. In this the organism having a favorable phenotypic advantage has better chances of survival and reproduction as compared to the other. The given situation is an example of natural selection. The long neck of giraffes is a phenotypic advantage that helps in deriving food as compared to it's competing herbivorous species. Thus, giving them a chance to survive and produce offsprings.

I believe it would be D, since the animals that had more food, and a advantage, would produce and so on.

How did the increased availability of atmospheric oxygen affect the evolution of the eukaryotic cell?
hichkok12 [17]
T<span>he cell requires oxygen, and eukaryotic cells are expensive to run. they require a lot of energy and nutrients, and oxygen is one such component. the oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration, which allows the cell to do a lot, including evolve, proliferate, adopt new niches, habitats, biochemical habitats, sustain life in extreme conditions, and perhaps eventually co-operate with other cells and create multicellular life. Multicellular life is virtually impossible without aerobic respiration. </span>

Which describes the effects of population increase and resource depletion
Setler [38]

Answer AND Explanation:

As the population increases, the amount of resources are depleted. Inadequate resources makes the population growth to stop. With a high population, death rate increases due to starvation and diseases which spread more easily in a large population. There may be a decrease in birth rate due to fewer matings and abortions resulting from social stress.
