Which of the following statements does not support the conclusion that giraffes are k-selected species?

Biology

Trava [24]4 years ago

The correct answer is C. Newborn giraffes are capable of coordinated walking within an hour of birth, and running within 24 hours of birth.

Explanation:

In biology, k-selected species are species that have stable populations although they do not give birth to multiple offspring at once and individual offspring are mainly big animals that require more time to mature this makes parents invest more time and effort in them to guarantee they survive. According to this, giraffes can be classified as k-selected species because they usually have limited offspring (Giraffes rarely give birth to twins), they seem to mature slowly and offspring requires more care and time (giraffes begin mating at 6-7 years of age) and they are large when they are born (Giraffes are approximately 6’ tall and weigh 150 lbs at birth).

However, the fact "Newborn giraffes are capable of coordinated walking within an hour of birth, and running within 24 hours of birth" does not support the idea these animals are k-select species because this shows rapid maturation and little time and effort invested which is the opposite to k-selected species.

Which characteristic do fish and invertebrates share?
igor_vitrenko [27]

The characteristic that fish and invertebrates share is that they both can lay eggs.

<h3>INVERTEBRATES:</h3>

Invertebrates are a group of animals that do not possess a vertebral column also known as a backbone or spine, which results from the notochord.

Invertebrates include insects, crustaceans, arachnids, myriapods, mollusks etc.

Fishes, on the other hand are aquatic animals classified under the phylum vertebrata meaning that they possess a backbone.

However, one similarity between fishes and invertebrates is that they can both lay eggs (oviparous mode of reproduction).

Why is it good for scientists to be skeptical
polet [3.4K]
Hey there! 

Scientists need to be skeptical because it allows them to consider different possibilities and have different solutions to the specific problem. Scientists need to go further into detail to confirm that they are correct and have sufficient evidence to prove their claim. 

Thank you!

Answer: Fighting infection

Explanation:

The primary function of the lymphatic system is to control the fluid balance by collecting the fluid present in excess from the tissues and depositing them in the stream of blood. The secondary function of the lymph system is the production of lymphocytes (white blood cells) which fights against the disease causing pathogens. Hence, fights against infection.
