The correction option is B.
DNA is the genetic material in living organisms and it is the basis for inheritance. DNA molecule is made up of nitrogenous bases, deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups. In order for the genetic information in the DNA molecules to be preserved, the components of the DNA must be arranged in the correct order without any any error. Thus, for the nitrogenous bases inside the DNA molecule, they must be correctly paired with  one another.

Fossils show that ancestors of the giraffe had shorter necks than the modern giraffe. The evolution of the modern giraffe may be
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

B. Directional selection

Explanation:

When natural selection starts to choose one phenotypes that is an extreme (as in, a really small neck or a really long neck), this is an example of <u>directional selection.</u> It makes sense for giraffes to have evolved this way, because the longer the neck, the more ably they can eat food from high branches. The more food they could get, the more chance of reproduction, the more "evolutionarily fit" they are.

Stabilizing selection is when national selection picks average phenotypes (like a medium-sized neck). Disruptive selection is when the extremes are both picked (like all the medium-sized neck giraffes die, and two different species start to emerge). Sexual selection is picking a mate based on traits. Clearly, those answers don't work here.

hjlf
<span>The answer should be: D) water supply

</span>Water is a perishable resource and its supply will limit how much population that an area could hold. <span>With a bigger population, the competition for water will be higher which make water shortage more likely. Others density-dependent limiting factor than competition would be disease, parasitism, and predation.

Name 2 structures present in root hair cell that are not present in a red blood cell
vekshin1

Answer:

Root hair cells are alive and therefore need energy, which is why root hair cells contain many mitochondria in them. Root hair cells don't contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are used by the plant to make food using light energy. Since the roots aren't exposed to any form of light, they have no need for chloroplasts.
