Answer: The correct answer is -

D) giraffes having increasingly longer necks over time.

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism that was proposed by Darwin.

According to this mechanism, organisms that are better capable of adapting to their changing environmental conditions, survive and increase their number through reproduction whereas other are eliminated from the population.

Example - Long neck of Giraffe, which is much elongated, lofty stature, that was beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher tree branches. This was an adaptation with slow and gradual change in the gene frequency as the lower vegetation was eaten by other animals. Due to this, giraffes had to search for other source (that was higher tree branches).

This is considered as a peculiar example of natural selection.

Motor neurons in mammals transmit signals from the brain to skeletal muscles at approximately 25 m/s. estimate how much time in
Y_Kistochka [10]
The time it takes in milliseconds for the brain to transmit a signal to your skeletal muscles can be determined given the speed and distance. It was given that the signal travels at approximately 25 m/s while the distance between the brain and one' hand can be set to approximately 1 m. To obtain the time, we divide the distance by the speed and convert it to milliseconds.

The equation would be: (1 m/ 25 m/s)*(1000 ms/1 s) = 40 ms.

Thus, it will take 40 ms for the brain's signal to travel before it can command your skeletal muscles to react accordingly.
