Giraffes use their extremely long necks to reach the leaves high up on acacia trees, which other animals cannot reach, giving th

em a food source for which they have few competitors. What can you conclude about natural selection from this observation?
a. Giraffe necks get longer over a lifetime of stretching, and their offspring inherit the longer necks of their parents.
b. All giraffes are born with short necks and, eating acacia leaves causes them to stretch over a lifetime.
c. Other animals will mimic the giraffe and grow longer necks.
d. The giraffes with the longest necks survive and produce offspring.

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.

What would influence a species' physical appearance
Reil [10]
The genes contained in the species' chromosomes would influence a species' physical appearance, would it not?
The alleles that species gains from both parents helps determine what that species physical appearance (also known as the phenotype) would look like.
Hope this explanation helped you. :)

A heterozygous round seeded plant (Rr) is crossed with a homozygous round seeded plant (RR).
igomit [66]
So I don’t see answer choices here, but your answer is 50% of the offspring will be homozygous dominant with RR, and 100% of them will carry a homozygous dominant gene of Rr

If you take the two sets and put them into a punnett square, it would look like this (image attached):

When the two sets of alleles are crossed, you would end up with half of your pairs being fully dominant (RR), and the other half being dominant while containing a recessive gene (Rr). Since there’s only one recessive gene in these pairs, it gets overridden and the pair itself is dominant.

So your answer is 50% will be homozygous dominant with RR!

What is the purpose of a Punnett square?<br>​
Korolek [52]

Answer:

A Punnett square is a diagram used to determine the statistical likelihood of each possible genotype of the offspring of two parents for a given trait or traits. Reginald Punnett was applying the laws of probability to work pioneered by Gregor Mendel in the mid-1800s.

hope that helps love!

Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of lev
vovikov84 [41]

The correct answer is option Energy is lost at each trophic level.

In a Ecological pyramid, the energy is transferred from the producer to the consumer level. The ecological pyramid is triangular in  structure, this is because the number of organism on each successive trophic level is less than the preceding one or the one below it.

The reason of this shape of ecological pyramid is on subsequent trophic level, the amount of energy transferred is only 10%. The rest of the energy is dissipated in the environment in the form of heat. As only 10% of total energy is transferred to the subsequent level, The amount of energy reaching to tertiary consumer is very less that it cannot meet the energy demand of next level.
