The environmental factor that controls the amount sunlight that reaches underwater plants and animals would be the abiotic factors. As with terrestrial biomes, aquatic biomes are influenced by a series of abiotic factors.
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.
<span>Since a gene that acts as a pesticide is inserted into a corn, that corn is now safe from insects. This will happen because the corn will probably synthesise protein according to that inserted DNA sequence and that protein will serve as a repellent to the insects. However, the Red Queen's hypothesis in evolution explains that organisms must constantly adapt and evolve in order to survive. This refers to insects. If they could not eat genetically modified corn, they would extinct. So, they must adapt or evolve in order to survive. So, it is expected that insects that are resistant to this specific pesticide would develop through the time.</span>
Explanation:
The cells store glycogen and neutralize toxins and are present in coelomic fluid of some annelids. They are yellowish in colour due to the presence of yellow granules called chloragosomes.
These cells are derived from the inner coelomic epithelium, and help in excretory functions, as most commonly demonstrated in earthworms.
<span>The option that describes the praying mantis is D. consumer, carnivore, and predator. It is a consumer because it consumes another organism, carnivore because it eats "meat," instead of plants, and predator because it ate a small organism. A is incorrect because it doesn't produce anything, but rather consumes the producer, which is also why B is incorrect. C is incorrect because it isn't a herbivore, given that it doesn't eat plants.</span>
