The smaller animals with short horns will be selected because the selection pressure, the hunters, favors their survival.

The correct answer is - traits for smaller animals with short horns will be selected.

Because of the pressure from the hunters that will be put upon the animals that are larger and have big horns, the animals will respond in having smaller size and smaller horns, or even be without horns. This will be an evolutionary trait in order for the animals to be able to survive, as they will be witnessing the death of the larger ones with bigger horns, so the selection will be going in the opposite way as the chances for survival are greater.

The example with the elephants in South Africa is a perfect example, where the elephants started to have much shorter tusks, or no tusks at all, after they were hunting because of the tusks.

Which of the following describes how a plant’s root system and shoot system work together?
MissTica

Answer:

The root and shoot systems facilitate the ability to absorb, CO2, light, water, and minerals. The root system consists of the roots, and the shoot system consists of the stems and leaves. Angiosperms and vascular plants rely on these two systems. Roots are nonphotosynthetic and starve unless photosynthesates are absorbed through the shoot system. The shoot system depends on the roots to absorb nutrients.

Most genetic diseases tend to be recessive. why is that?
Artyom0805 [142]
If the disease was cause by the dominant allele, every person with said gene would be affected with the disease. if the genetic allele is recessive, both parents can be carriers (hetero) without being affected. that makes it easier for the genes to keep being passed on.

hope this helps!

What is the difference between the Biogeochemical cycle and the phosphorus cycle
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>Biogeochemical cycle is the entire cycles that are happening in the earth and one is phosphorus cycle -a subsection of cycles.
The biogeochemical cycles move through mainly </span>the biotic and abiotic components of the earth<span>, more elaborately the spheres -biospheres, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere regions of the ecosystem. These biogeochemical cycles, from its terminology and discernable word morphology- involves the biological, geological and chemical components that make out to complete an exact and purposed cycle. The purpose in these cycles are to maintain balance and to ensure the ongoing process of the living and non-living organisms in the environment. These cycles’ help to living organisms survive and thrive. One popular example is the water cycle.<span>
