a. Sugar cane, corn, carbgrass which are identified as C4 Plants allow fixation of carbon dioxide into four carbon compounds. This happens during the hottest time of the day - their so-called stomata gets partially closed. C4 plants have been identified to lose only half of the water that C3 plants lose when they produce the similar amount of carbs.

b.CAM PATHWAY - Plants such as pineapples and cactus have different approach to adapting heat. Carbon is fixed through a cam pathway. They use it to open their stomata at night and close it in the morning.

Genes are a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to the offspring and is held determine some characteristics of the offspring. Some genes include: the color of the eyes (whether you have your mother's or father's eyes) the hair color, and skin color.

Inherited traits means you received something from your parents, grandparents or other family members.

Acquired traits means a characteristic or trait that produces a phenotype that is a result of an environmental influence.Acquired traits are not coded for in the DNA of an individual and therefore cannot passed down to offspring during reproduction.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

B) Natural selection favored rabbits that were resistant to the virus

Explanation:

Most likely, virus resistance occurred over time, as a consequence of mutation. Individuals that carried the resistance mutation become favourable by natural selection.

Natural selection is evolutionary mechanism which favours traits of an organism that help him survive and reproduce (increase organism's fitness). In the example above, resistant rabbits that survived had the favorable trait (resistance) by natural selection.
